Re: Removing Thermal Paste

Thank You Gary! This was a useful Video especially about the Arctic Clean Product, which is very good for the Novice to Lazy Tech....lol....But I have to correct a part of it, the use of Rubbing alcohol which under any purity levels is bad because number one it won't cut thermal paste and number two is it leaves a conductive Film or Residue behind. Alcohol use around Electronics is an old Fallacy started a long time ago so that Tech's can get more money out of you because your Equipment Broke faster than it should have. Instead use Acetone which is a Resin Solvent of which All Thermal Paste is plus it dissipates very quickly without leaving any Residue or Film.....also why Painters and Auto-body Workers use it before painting! and Photo Copy machine Techs use it for fixing Office Photo Copiers. I learned of it way back in the 80's from a Xerox Technician. You can easily find it at any place that sells Auto Paint or a Hardware Store Hell I found my last can at Kmart!
