[plug] [OT] CPU plate cleaning

[Craig Foster]

Only cos too much alcohol can eat away the anti-glare coating.
Or some malarkey  along those lines.... 

Any IPA is fine, just don't follow it with that white excretion they call
heat transfer compound.
I use a thin layer of HTC from P-III and Xeon CPUs, and smooth it with a
blade - but then again, I'm anal about proper CPU cooling with machines I
build :)
