Today I installed a new cpu cooler. Its pretty dank. I also learned that bequiets thermal paste isn't really affected by isopropyl alcohol so if you get it on your hands, you're not getting it off.

CPU: some amd thing Motherboard: its black RAM: its memory thats for sure GPU: r7 260x Case: corsair spec 01 Storage: 1tb of it PSU: 430w, so many watts

Display: its asus Cooling: fans Keyboard: logitech g710+ #browns4lyfe Mouse: its a logitech Sound: its what you hear Operating System: winders

O.o then how do you get it off your CPU?

I didn't, I put it on my CPU.

I mean if you were to install a different cooler on later, how would you remove the thermal paste?

I don't plan to ever install a different cooler until I get a different CPU so I should be good. If I ever do need to take it off I will break out the sulfuric acid. JK

Oil based solution probably, like arctic clean. But it surely comes off with isopropyl, maybe it just needs some effort like AS5.
