Hello all.
I am currently building my new rig and have hit a stumbling block with my CPU heatsink (Thermaltake Big Typhoon 120 VX). Quite simply the contact plate has four incredibly grubby fingerprints on it. I can't see how they'd have got there unless it was me, so I guess I was just careless. I've searched my house and the most appropriate things I can find to attempt to clean it are acetone nail polish remover and cotton tip swab thingums (living with girls does have it's advantages ^_^). I know these are less than perfect, but can't decide whether to go ahead and attempt to clean it with them.
So basically I'm asking people's opinions on whether I should try to clean the plate with these things, or wait til tomorrow so I can buy some proper cleaning alcohol and lint-free cloth... or even whether I should just go ahead and stick the damn thing on anyway.
I'm an impatient man. If I have to wait another night after waiting three weeks for my wolfdale processor I'm probably going to grind my teeth down to powder in frustration overnight ¬_¬
