Yesterday I used white spirit to remove thermal paste on my CPU so I could install my new cooler.
After I wiped off the thermal paste I took a new piece of paper and made sure the cpu didn't have any more white spirit on it, and I waited 10 minutes before I installed the cooler on the cpu. Is that safe? or can it catch on fire? My temps are 60c on full load w/ 4790k.
 


The new cooler had thermal compund on it (H100i GTX) and yes the cooler is installed tight and correctly .
