Thermal paste on contacts

[Vercingetorix]

Hello peeps, I really do need some help with a problem. While cleaning my computer, I managed to get some MX-4 thermal paste on the contacts of my i5 3570k. I have removed what I can see using a q-tip, but I do not have any acetone or rubbing alcohol to hand. Anyone that can help me?

MX-4 is non conductive so nothing should break, I would just double check and make sure it is all gone.

Thanks bro, was very worried there. I have some Arcticlean non alcoholic TIM remover hanging around, could I use some of that just to make sure it's all gone?

yeah should be okay unless one of the pins is covered up
