May i use thermal paste on my processor and how to use

[slugger]

I used colin soaked cloth to clean both surfaces, and that's the best available option to clean , wat do u ppl say ?

In this case you first have to clean the rests of thermal compound. Use a cotton swab with isopropyl alcohol (isopropanol). This kind of alcohol is purer (doesn’t contain water) and can be found at electronics equipments stores or drugstores.
