The other day i was Getting off the Thermal paste off all my Old CPU (AMD A10 6800K) i had no isopropyl alcohol so i just cracked open a bottle of Jim Beam, put some on paper towel and it came right off and cleaned well

 

Would you reccoment i use isopropyl alcohol to clean it later on before i use the CPU  n my HTPC i'm building

I would recommend it but it isn't that bad if you poor some liquor on your CPU.

Na mate it's just like isopropyl. It just evaporates off leaving no trace, as long as it's a high alcohol content (40-60 %)

I just cleaned my i5 with some Johnny Walker Green Label from last night :D

i stuck thhe pins into my skin and put a cpu cooler in to my arm, it still runs

Make sure you wrap it around your dick. If it wont bend heat it up and stab the pins into your dick.
