Sorry wasn't meaning to confuse youWhen I last changed a heat sink I cleaned off the old thermal paste with a solvent (such as the isopropyl alcohol) then made sure that there was no solvent left on the processor/heatsink so it doesn't dissolve the new thermal grease then applied the new thermal grease and it worked fine.
So I personally would use the isopropyl alcohol but other internet sources say don't use solvents as it can leave residues.

sounds about right to me toothough I'm lazy and left the heatpaste on there too. AMD sempron64 or something, ran non-stop for nigh-on a year with no issues at all, heat or otherwise. still runs, but replaced the box it was in with something a bit quieter now :)
