QUOTE(likito @ Aug 16 2007, 03:47 PM) how come ? MX-2 outperform AC5 , unbelievable Yes it does outperform and i have tested it. AC5, the difference can only be seen if you are overclocking and its not really user friendly due to the silver content on its paste.. Being silver, i believe there is a chance for it to kill the board if you are not careful, but the Mx-1 and 2 are not like that. |

QUOTE(slash @ Aug 17 2007, 01:24 AM) and AS5, u must turn off your pc, let it cool, then on it again. Do that for 1 week so that the paste will reach optimum efficiency. Well,, you will need 200 hours to let the arctic silver to really do its job.. and if u do it wrongly bleh, it melts and goes around your board... like mine it just went to some resistor i dont know how... Dont need to do that for MX2  |

alcohol @70% is the best, thinner is not pure... cheap stuff. NOt good for cleaning...

noooo nail polish remover... its acetone i think... dont use it
Added on February 29, 2008, 10:43 pm QUOTE(tomatos @ Feb 29 2008, 05:36 PM) 70% the best? well we can but alcohol at that percentage is very volatile... so if u mishandle it it can either explode or do some nasty damage(dryness) to your fingers due to high end evaporation..Shoudln't more pure be better like lets say >90%.

i would still prefer you to use alcoholic swabs which can be bought in pharmacies..
thinner is not good coz its toxic when inhaled.. due to its chemical compositions. So a lot of precautions have to be taken |

are you kidding me? alcohol at high percentages is volatile and dangerous to humans if inhaled. Yes, alcohol is used as antiseptics but more often its normally at 70% concentration, aka, isopyril alcohol. Alcohol vaporizing has nothing to do with its reactive behavior
Indigestion of alcohol, depends, if u drink in clubs and u had bacardi 151 or absenth, the % of alcohol is at 70%+, so its really on the chemical composition of how the alcohol is derived. |

yes and i am clarifying the use of alcoholic swabs in the pharmacy that does a very good job besides thinners and turpentines. I am saying its the most practical solution. And it probably has the highest percentage of alcohol that can be used by us. Besides having to go to a lab.
Added on March 1, 2008, 8:05 pmif you really think ur right, hats off for you. I really have nothing to say. Added on March 1, 2008, 8:07 pmoh yeah and if it does give u a thrill to shoot me down u have it  This post has been edited by a1098113: Mar 1 2008, 08:07 PM |

finally someone with some chemistry
 thank you dude. Anyways, for anyone using thinner or turpentine can do so, yes its alcohol, anything that ferments is alcohol, anything that has ethanol and family of hydrocarbons can have alcohol made from it, but thats not what we do we? We want the purest form of alcohol we can get, and mostly is surgical alcohol which is isopropyl alcohol. Any higher the concentration, we will only find it in the labs and we ppl here wont have access to it. Simple. |

QUOTE(tomatos @ Mar 2 2008, 12:42 AM) What i mean burn is all alcohol are flammable. ~Edited for common good~Alcohol with low percentage do evaporate. Not neccessary above 30%. Volatility in chemistry means the tendency to evaporate. It's boiling point has nothing to do with it's evaporation. It's due to it's low vapor pressure. You can drink isopropyl alcohol but anything above 20ml is toxic. You feel cold when alcohol evaporates on your hand is because evaporation is endothermic thus it absorbs heat energy during it's process to break the bonds. Again back to the discussion is that a forummer on the previous page claims that 70% alcohol is the best cleaning solvent. So what say you? In case its brought up again. I will have to be the one who says sorry coz theres a chemistry guy here who knows quite a bit of his organic chemistry  This post has been edited by a1098113: Mar 2 2008, 12:30 PM |

QUOTE(IcEMoCHa @ Mar 2 2008, 10:05 AM) nail polish remover is easier for removing the hard TIM on the CPU than alcohol.. You can use alcohol to wipe it clean after that... nail polish remover is commonly known as acetone, and they belong to the ketone family. They are really good organic solvents. But u have to be careful whilst using them as they can dissolve plastics. Also wear googles or specs to prevent the vapor from getting to your eyes.. |

use isopropyl alcohol swabs. get it from the pharma. VHS cleaners arent really safe to use, also its not really pure..
