I use compressed air (not too close to the components) and sometimes a Q-Tip when it's a bit hard to get off or whatever.

You can take the card apart and use canned Air and alcohol wipes.

 

You'll need to replace the thermal paste also when you do that, you'll get lower temperatures anyways.

 

Go on Youtube and you'll find instruction videos for how to disassemble your card and replace the thermal paste.
