I wouldn't necessary recommend using Pin-Sol or Water to clean a processor.
Best
method I've found is to run the machine long enough to heat up. Remove the heat
sink remove what you can with a lint free paper towel and then clean the rest
off using a 85% or better isopropyl alcohol.

The white pastes are a nuisance to clean-up after.
However, these clean-up quite easily by using full-strength Pine-Sol, followed
by a hot water rinse.
Arctic silver is indeed conductive, which is why the applications procedure is
so involved.
White and diamond pastes are non-conductive, and the procedures are somewhat
simpler.
