    I prefer a q-tip soaked with acetone. But be careful not to rub too much, or over vital spots! or else...

    Hey. Could you please elaborate on the vital spots? First time I've had to deal with Socket A cpu's.

    Thanks

    Basically, you only care about the core (that little bump in the middle). The little copper dots and lines around the core are various connects that could screw the processor if damaged.
