Long story short, I have a Phenom 9750 2.4 Ghz CPU, and will it be compatible with aluminum based heatsink?
And yes, alcohol will work, but you MUST BE CAREFUL! Use rubbing alcohol only. I would use a 50% water + 50% alcohol mixture and q-tips. Dunk the q-tips in the solution and carefully rub the processor free of old heatsink compound. I have done this before without any damage to the processor. Just take your time and DO NOT allow excess liquid on the q-tips. I'd say, shake the q-tip before applying.
Yes this will work because in the title it says it fits socket AM2. Also yes that will clean a cpu.
I wouldn't. The Phenom is a quad-core processor, the 6K a dual-core. I imagine the quad-core will generate more heat. Why risk burning up your processor. Plus, if you're getting a Phenom, I imagine you're wanting to OC. Why take the chance for a few dollars? Good luck!
Hi Yes ,if it is an AM2 heat-sink.
