[juneau-lug] Cleaning processors

I've been replacing Pentium Pro 200 CPUs with Pentium II overdrive chips,
and now have the problem of safely storing the old Pentium Pros - some
backing to keep the pins straight and an anti-static bag should do the
trick.

However two of the chips won't separate from their heat sinks - the
thermal paste has solidified and glued the two parts together.

Anyone have hints for cleaning CPUs?  What kind of solvents can be safely
applied to a ceramic chip?

Cheers,

James
