Is it safe to do this?

Just installed my new heatsink, but want to properly clean it and reseat it, is it safe to use white spirit to clean the old AS off cos thats all ive got in the house?
 
Suppose I could wait until tomorrow... but i'm impatient. I see there is some citric cleaner, surely Jif Lemon would work along the same lines...
 
Did it anyway, seems to be a bit cooler now, but ill give the AS a few days to settle in before i pass judgement:)
 
FGS.. you can use anything. can you think of any good reason why not?

ive used nail varnish remover, white spirit, everything else only my Barton over the last 3 years and it still runs day-to-day at silly speeds.



if youre really that bothered, why dont you just buy some TIM and stop worrying
