Modding cpu and heatsink cleaning solution

hey guys


anyone know of some cpu and heatsink cleaning solution that cleans off old thermal paste etc.

i found an akasa branded one but was wondering if there is any others.
if i wanted to do it myself with the akasa solution how should i go about it and what stuff do i need?


thanks in advance

I use nail polish remover, which gets it off pretty easily. Not sure how safe it is with components though

 

i've used this... but 90% alcohol from your local drug store works fine...

 

I just use Isopropyl Alcohol, the stuff that people use to use to clean the heads in their good old tape decks.

I got mine for something silly like 80p by going into a chemist and asking nicely

 

+1 This stuff is awesome. Makes life sooooo much easier.
