    I use acetone.
    Removes any thermal material and evaporates in just seconds.

    If it the liquid removers touch the other components will it get damaged aswell?

    i use "wasbenzine" (used for cleaning, evaporates very fast, and is also flamable, but fine for cleaning a comp) though i dont know whats it called in english....... i think its a bezine type, and that doesnt harm other components (might cool them a lil though )

    What?

    News to me.
    Water will harm electrical components...specifically unevaporated water.
    That&#39;s what leads to shorting.

    The solvents we&#39;re using evaporate so quickly that you should be fine if it gets on something.
    I wouldn&#39;t soak a PCB with acetone cause it would dissolve whatever the traces are sealed in, but a casual wipe sure hasn&#39;t hurt me yet.

    I&#39;d still feel wierd putting any type of liquid onto any computer components unless it was like that water that doesn&#39;t wet stuff...lol.

    Didn&#39;t you see that article about the guy who immersed his motherboard ( with all the ancillary stuff in place and running) in mineral oil?
    Some nutcase attempt at extreme cooling, I think.

    Not sure how the cooling worked out, but the PC ran fine.

    If that stuff really does contain benzine, you shouldn&#39;t let it come in contact with your skin, and breathing the fumes can be harmful too.

    Benzine is one of the most carcinogenic substances known.
