[SOLVED] Stains on X62 after removing thermal paste with 70% isopropyl

[affanmunir1]

I have attached pics of my CPU cooler it got stains and they are permanent, a week ago i removed thermal paste with 70% isopropyl alcohol and now when i checked again it got stains which can't be removed. I tried again with 70% isopropyl alcohol swab but they are not removing and seems like they are permanent now. Are they harmful? Can i reuse my cooler again or can these stain get removed with any way?

I'm also curious about this as I often see stains on my CPU after cleaning it with isopropyl...

It isn't going to cause an issue, just use new thermal paste and re-install the cooler.

This isn't a problem.
