New Heatsink
ok, i got me a new heatsink from thermaltake, woohoo!, and some Smart Case Fan 2's to go with it. anyhow, i was wondering if i should use my Arctic Emulsifier/Cleaner chemical to clean it even though it is fresh out of the box. i figure the cleaner/emulsifier will not leave any residue and since there might be some on the heatsink bottom from packaging, etc..., should i clean it prior to installation?

I cleaned the bottom of my Thermaltake heatsink before I mounted it. I simply used alcohol and it worked fine. I think doing this will guarantee that there are no manufacturing residues left on the sink.
