Hello Everyone, I'm looking for advice on whether anyone has used an ultra sonic cleaner to remove thermal compound from a CPU. I'm trying to clean multiple CPUs at once instead of using a toothbrush and alcohol repeatedly. My main worries are that the vibrations might harm the components or cause the IHS bond to loosen. Since these are Intel CPUs, I don't have to worry about pin damage. Thanks ahead, Lpax
