Use isopropyl alcohol and cotton swabs or a lint-free cloth to remove thermal compound residue from the heat sink and processor. Gently wipe away the old thermal paste until both surfaces are clean before applying new thermal compound.

Is replacing a motherboard is fairly compicated process whereas replacing a processor is much simple?

I would not call it complicated, but it can be time consuming. You do have to remove the components that connect to the motherboard (including the processor), and reinstall them to the new one. Swapping out the processor is a simple job, but making sure that the new processor is supported by the existing motherboard can be tricky. You have to take into account, not only the motherboard model, but its revision and bios version.

What is the prupose of the thermal compound?

To improve the thermal bond between the chip and the heatsink. if the surface of the chip is uneven and the surface of the heatsink is also uneven then you wouldn't get anything close to 100% surface contact between them. To remove the gaps you use a compound that has a good thermal (heat) conductivity to fill in the gaps between the two objects.

Is metal the best thermal insulator?

Metal is a very poor thermal (and electrical) insulator. It is a good conductor of heat (and electricity, obviously). Copper (a metal) is one of the best thermal conductors known to man--most laptops use pieces of copper to transfer the heat from the processor and graphics chips to the heatsync (typically aluminum), where the fan can remove the heat. Materials like foam, rubber, etc. are good thermal insulators (think of pot holders...).

How do you remove thermal energy?

Thermal energy can be removed by transferring it to a cooler object through conduction, convection, or radiation. Common methods to remove thermal energy include using a heat sink, a fan, or a coolant such as water or refrigerants in a cooling system.
