I have a bottle of nail polish remover that was lying around in my house

I planning to apply Artic MX-4 to my GPU and CPU

My question is can I use nail polish remover to remove the remaining thermal pad off my GPU and CPU.

The ingredients stated on the bottle are:

Acetone,Water,Glycerine,D-panthenol,BHT,Cl 19140 and Cl 42090

or should I use thinner ????

Yes, u can use that to remove d old thermal paste.
been using it all the while

won't leave any residue right ??

seriously can ar...?

also can use lighter refill octane liquid (octane is the right name or not??)
dunno the exact name....
tried it before..huhuhu

I think that would be butane

Zippo?

toilet paper will do

I applied alredi la

Should be no problem. I even use hand sanitizer because of the alkohol content. Clean perfectly and success my CM Hyper 212+ installation.

Important: Make sure do not drop even a drop of liquid on the mobo, be caution oh.

Buy something proper like Arctic Cleaner or use soap or whatever you feel like it I've washed the whole CPU with soap before and let it dry, no problems.

Steady! Thumb up + respect

Never try never know Normally even using tissue paper is good enough to clean off the thermal compound. The only ones that are tough to clean are like Arctic Silver but for Tuniq TX or Arctic MX, it's easy to wipe off.

wipe tissue or hand only. not big thing bro. i m using tuniq tx3

hand (or any part of the body) not too good, may leave oil on it that goes against heat transfer. tissue ok

yeah..you right..i already do it many time b4..
but be careful with the pin..

The Arctic Cleaner you mentioned, can one find it in lowyat or someplace. Looking to replace stock cooler with a CM Hyper 212 Plus. Can't really afford to make mistakes.

Any sifu who can help give step-by-step guide is greatly appreciated
