I'm going to reinstall my heatsink and fan on my system. I have 91% isopropyl alcohol to do this job. I was wondering what I should use to rub the thermal compound off the cpu?

I'll use pretty much anything that doesnt "disintigrate" (i.e., not cheap toiletpaper)
 
WOW She's is hot

Well I reinstalled the cpu twice two see if i could get the cpu temp down 54/62.
Not much success however.
The temps:
In the Bios
Chase Temp 36
CPU Temp External 46
CPU Temp on the Die 62 :mad:
In Windows
CPU temp 59 :mad:
Chase 44

Room temp 96 F feels like 100 F :mad:

Get an a/c or invest in water cooling. When the air temp is that hot no hs/f will get you the temps you want, or at least the temps I have by some miracle managed to get with stock cooling (XP 3000+ Barton, OC'd to 2.4, 32-35c idle, 24c room temp).
Keep in mind I do have for case fans that move 85CFM of air each... I'm sure that plays a large part.

you cover the pipes in dielectric grease this stops condensation forming

send an army or very small trained ants into your case. Remember i'm talking about extra small trained ants here, not your normal sized run-of-the-mill trained ant.
