Use the scraper that often comes with the thermal compound to scrape off the dried out Sony compound, then use a cloth or paper towell with rubbing alcohol to clean both the surfaces of the processor heat spreaders and the heat sink blocks. Dry them and buff with a clean cloth to remove the last bit of black residue prior to reflowing ONLY the RSX processor. After you finish and apply fresh compound to the processors (not to the heat sink blocks), replace the heat sink and DON'T pull it away to see if you got 100% contact. You'll only cause air bubbles to form and decrease the % of contact between the heat sink blocks and the processors. Hol, rubbing alcohol is isopropyl.

It YLoDed right after i bought mafia 2 and i was so pissed. When you' re cleaning the old heat sink compound can you just use rubbing alcohol? I don't know where to find Isopropyl alcohol. Do you just use a rag to wipe it off? And do you put the heat sink compound just on the two processors, the CPU and the GPU, or do you put in on the 2 heat sink touch plates also? And you also clean the old heat sink compound off the CPU and GPU right? Thank you so much for your help Hey, i’m going to try and fix my PS3 for the first time.
