Hello.

Currently I've got a 8700K and im gonna de-lid it with one of those de-lidding tools. I'm using Coolaboratory Liquid Ultra Thermal Paste between between my water block and heatspreader. I've only had the CPU for a few weeks so it might not be necessary but I might as well do the works... clean off the liquid metal on the headspreader and apply some fresh TIM to the die and heatspreader.

I've heard it is needs to be alcohol based cleaner for removing Liquid Metal based TIMs. Is this true?
