^ second the above mail.. Just leave it if it is non conductive thermal paste. Taking the ZIF socket apart to clean it is quite risky if you have never taken one apart y'all will nigh likely break the plastic clips that hold it together or break or bend the contacts for the pins. If you do take it a part use the highest %(90% +) booze you can find because information technology contains less h2o and will dry faster and works meliorate to clean thermal paste. If your computer is working fine don't risk information technology.

I tried the WD40 before I read these answers. I blasted the expanse that had thermal paste with WD40 considering information technology was really deep stuck and then I drenched the motherboard in rubbing alcohol and now it works perfectly.
