Depending on what sort of thermal compound, denatured alcohol and isopropyl alcohol work best in my experience. Denatured alcohol works great on paraffin based thermal compounds. You want to use a nice lint-free applicator. I take a piece of coffee filter, pour a little alcohol on it and gently rub the surface of the heat spreader & heat sink are clean.

You'll wanna replace those fans. Stock Corsair fans are hella loud. Heavy uses Scythe Gentle Typhoons. I use Air Penetrators.

Well the nerds in the NewEgg reviews said that Arctic Mx4 damn-near got them laid. I think they must use 3 wolf moon estrus in the compound.
I actually still have some Noctua stuff around here somewhere that has worked very well for the last few years, on a few machines. I just wanted to try something different.
