So anyway, i read that rubbing alcohol or buying proper Arctic silver to remove thermal pads and excess dirt and cleanse the surface for more efficient heat dispersal.
I removed the chipset heatsink fan off my DFI Ultra-D to inspect the chip for a possible Modding to SLI-D. (to find that theres black enamel over the contacts- but anyway!)
the thermal pad is ripped apart so theres no point putting it on.
so i tried to remove it but it didnt work using a finger nail.
So then i tried Nail polish remover (funny how all these methods are Finger nail related) and it worked a bit. but theres still some excess thermal pad left.
So in Biology doing some experiments and to my surprise and luck were using "Ethanol" so i "Borrow" a small supply and have it here.
Im wondering will the Ethanol be decent for removing and cleansing CPU's, Chipsets and anything else relevant?
