what’s the simplest way to clean off the paste once the heatsinks are off? I gave 99% isopropyl alcohol and a brush a shot, but it wasn’t working well and got super messy. Has anyone used acetone for this?

https://www.arcticsilver.com/arcticlean.htm Not sure where in the world you are but there are a few 3rd party people I see selling it on Amazon US and there are also a few other places online too. I did find heat does help a little too when you are using other solvents, BUT things like 99% isopropyl alcohol and acetone are VERY VERY VERY flammable so you might get the paste off or you might set yourself on fire or both. So a more specialized cleaner is probably better. -Dave
