Will immersing the cpu in a plate of rubbing alcohol damage the cpu?
No. BUT isopropyl alchol is usually adulterated with kerosene and naptha. That leaves a white residue. This residue is an excellent insulator. If you get it on the pins, there is some chance of the cpu becoming intermittent. So ideally immerse only the heatsink and cpu without getting the pins into alcohol. OR get unadulterated alcohol - an extremely difficult ask, unless you have friends in the chemical industry.
But detach the fan as alcohol could damage the winding.
Thanks will ensure this does not happen.
