Hi OCer, i just need your help regarding where to buy the alcohol / aceton to remove thermal paste from processor and heatsink. Any particular brand and where is the shop? Thanks!

bro...just buy zippo... me using zippo to clean it..cheaper...

zippo the smoke lighter oil? erm..is the term right, the oil?

why dont want use arctic clean? its not really expensive also

my concern is where to buy, pls advise specific place / shop.. thx

arctic cleaner can pm forumer bata...
or just buy cassette cleaner (the alcohol cleaner yellow in color) in most cd n cassete shop have them...

I have a cheaper solution What I normally do is to use some soap + water and carefully clean it off from the IHS/Core. After that, rinse carefully with water and try not to touch the bottom part (pins) with water. Leave it dry for a while and you're done. Make sure it's really "dry" and water free.

I've been doing this since my AMD times and never had problems. You just have to do it right. If you're worried, go for the alcohol method

brave method, indeed

At some point back, people that uses water cooling and soldering resistors on their motherboards are also considered using "brave" techniques/methods Many people don't do things right so you kill something in the end. Hence, the problem is with the "implementation", not the "method".

yeah .. thats the right word to use .. "implementation" ..

other people might use the same method as him .. but how they do it might be different .. so as you can see, same "method" different "implementation"

yes, thats rite

i used my erophia man from ck perfume to clean it hahaha!

Use zippo fluid for the hardened brick thermal grease, <== this melts any grease except coollaboratory's liquid

Use alcohol for semi hardened thermal grease

Tissue for wet thermal grease.
