remove thermal pad from cpu fan

ASUS P5Q-E - LGA775 Socket
Corsair XMS2 - 2x2GB
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 / 3 GHz
eVGA GeForce GTX 260
corsair 650W

i want to replace a cpu fan from intel. it is attached with a thermal pad.

-i have another intel fan that looks very similar to the intel fan currently installed, but i am not sure which cpu/motherboard it is from. how do i make sure if the fan is suitable?

-can i use isopropyl (Isopropyl alcohol 99.8%, 100ml) to remove and clean the thermal parts?

-i heard that the thermal pad is quite hard hard to remove, it is stuck to the cpu. what is the best method to remove it?

-after i cleaned the cpu, how long do i need to dry it? i want to place another cpu fan with a thermal pad.
