put it back together. Do you need to buy a new CPU Fan, thermal paste or the complete set?
If thermal paste, how do I apply it?
Honest and straight answers I want.

How do you clean the thermal paste off the CPU and the CPU fan

Just clean up the surfaces of the Heat Sink and the CPU.
Then spread a decent coat of the thermal paste on either the heat sink surface or the cpu surface and then remount the heat sink to the cpu. If separate, remount the fan to the heat sink. It's not any more complicated than that.
Hope this helps

You need to apply new thermal paste.
The question is did the computer die? In other words did you burn up the cpu? Was the fan still working?
You may have to replace the fan and the CPU if it shut down and will not come back up

Clean up the CPU and spread a layer of thermal paste on it. Spread it with a razor blade to get an even surface, don't put to much and then put a new fan or heat sink on it. (or use your old one if it's still working).

Before fusing occurs, the CPU would be fried, and need to be replaced. The CPU does not melt, so the fan would have melted as the proccessor burnt up.
