Rubbing / isopropyl alcohol has been a recommended product for this kind of thing for quite literally, years. It's nice that you're well informed of it's contents, but I've yet to run into anyone that's had an issue.
Personally for cleaning things now I use the Articlean stuff because it's absolutely amazing, and it smells nice!

I just rub mine with icecubes and sprinkle salt and sugar on afterwards. If that doesnt work it goes in the washing machine on a boil wash with some vanish and a bit of bleach.

Just be sure not to put AMD CPUs in the washing machine, they go in the dish washer. You dont want to bend those pins!

If you bend them you can just replace them with drawer pins though so dw

I generally don't use stuff like this as the thermal paste is never on the chip long enough, to dry out as I normally end up messing with the cooler etc every couple of months.
If I had to remove almost dry thermal paste such as that, that is on a gpu if I go to watercool it then I will use something like Articlean and I just make sure I dry the cpu or gpu even after using that stuff.

I always use isopropyl alcohol for cleaning TIM. I just using a dry (paper towel) clothes for wipe it down. I had never get in trouble with it. Its good because if it remains on some stuff it will completly evaporated in some minutes. I think the litle black ruber he has removed coused the problem because the water block (as it was applied in a wrong way) could couse a
short circuit on the small capacitors or resistors next to gpu.

Its saved a motherboard that got thermal paste in the socket. Basically its the cure to stupidity. A delicious wiff of lemon and intelligence.
