Can I use some 95% Ethanol rubbing alcohol to remove thermal paste from my CPU?

Yeah, the only difference is another CH3 so it's going to be more volatile.

So you've got thermal paste now?

An AMD cpu has no place in a solely gaming build, end of.

I3 4150, Intel HD graphics, corsair CX750M, 4gb ram, Asus H81M-E, corsair 230T, Intel stock cooler WD Green 2TB Gigabyte 550TI

Why you shouldn't trust Gpu or Cpu boss Click on this I dare you!

No, it's just that there's residue left over on my heatsink.

more likely to catch on fire if you expose it to a heat source

You just let it vaporize. Which will only take a few seconds.

keep it under 57 degrees Celsius and let it evaporate at room temprature for a few minuts(5 is more then enough, 2 should do already)

May the light have your back and your ISO low.

Open your eyes and break your chains. Console peasantry is just a state of mind.
