Thermal compounds and waxes stand no chance against ArctiClean from the Arctic Silver folks. It's citrus based, smells like oranges, but is not super cheap. Comes in 2 parts. I bought the big containers of it years ago and they've lasted me through many a CPU cleaning. Only need a few drops after all.
It also cleans up stickers but doesn't melt the little foam Athlon pads. It removes tarnish too. Cleans up anything that ends up on a CPU, in my experience. 
I also have some nasty stuff called "Ooops" that contains several solvents, including Toluene. It's nasty stuff and I really try to not use it ever. Arcticlean is so much nicer and safer. I do use 91% Isopropyl Alcohol for tasks that it will work for though because it's so cheap.

Any idea how can I remove this type of glue without hammer or C4?
It's just like cement: hard to scratch and resist the alcohol.

| That is some sort of resin... you might need to use acid, or some special resin solvent. |

So I can affirm that cleaning cpus is a risky job involving use of solvents, linking the activity to premature departure and painful short life span... good to know, I need to get an insurance
Who said that collecting cpus wasn't a hard man's job?? (spit of chewed tobacco - Jesse Ventura style) |

d-Limonene is natural and safe. |
