Go to solution Solved by LogicalDrm,

The fan ramping to full speed is just BIOS testing that it works. Completely normal operation. You don't need to change thermal paste everytime you take the cooler off. Like you don't need 90% isopryl alcohol to clean it. It's just something PC snobs like to suggest.

70% is fine, I think. Personally I use soft paper towels or toilet paper. Some use coffee filters.
