Apply thoroughly using 90% rubbing alcohol gently, then allow it to dry. Cleaning now is ideal since thread cutters are costly. Most pastes aren’t conductive, but it’s wise to ensure everything is clean before use.

its a useful solvent and even lower percentages like 70% work just that they dont dry in an hour like 99% does now this is quite the issue on x58 where even a clean cpu needs to be reseated for max freq, some mounts it refuses to stabilize 2800 while others it does stabilize dirty pins however this is irrelevant unless its really dirty and causes mem channels to stop detecting outright and im aiming for max freq here not your average paltry ddr3 2000 or 2400 with intentional voltage crippling where you wouldnt even see a diff so this is irrelevant for mild overclocks this seems like more of a problem in theory than it is in practice but ill go read up those odd cases of 1156 lotes sockets having issues or something like that
