what lotex said, except I don't use canned air....make sure to get 99% iso if you can.....70% will of course work too, but the 99% gets it off easier and will dry quicker.....and by quicker I mean like 2 seconds compared to 4 lol so it's not like a huge difference but meh, whatever
QUICK FACT YOU DONT CARE ABOUT!: WD-40 stands for 'Water displacement' 40 if memory serves correctly.....the 40 is because it was the 40th attempt at creating this substance
Cool didn't know they made anything like that, I've been using iso and whatever I could find, cotten ball, qtip, clean rag. I used everclear once too, couldn't find the iso.
This is the best stuff money can buy. It's basically an all natural product and it contains no harmful chemicals. It's really a Citrus acid base. It smells like oranges...lol
Seriously, one drop of the emulsifier and the thermal material no matter what it is breaks up so quickly. YOu can use any small type object to just wipe it off clean and easy. Then you use the surface purifier which cleans the surface of any left over residue. You could basically eat off the CPU when your done.
Trust me, this stuff is awesome. I used it on a 4 year old Dell one day with a thermal pad that was dry and hard as a rock. It took less then 10 seconds to have the CPU die clean as a whistle.
