Hi

I have two questions regarding how i should go about when switching out my CPU for a new one.

1. How do i remove the old thermal paste from the fan, isopropyl alcohol is not available to me at the moment.

2. When i put the new thermal paste on, how much and where should I use it, i have an intel lga1200 socket

Edit: i should probably have added this but as this is my first time, is there anything else i should consider doing
