Yes rubbing alcohol is pretty safe, that&#39;s what most people use to clean all chips (CPU, VGA, NB, SB, etc)

Just don&#39;t get it near your eyes.

You&#39;ll go blind. :P

I use ligher fluid, removes the old thermal paste&#092;pad much easier, only problem is im afraid it will catch fire from teh heat of teh chip so i then wipe the fluid off using rubbing alcohol lol.

cause the rubbing alcohol takes long time to remove the thermal pad...but it removes the fluid in like 1 swipe, as well the fluid can remove the thermal pad in like 2 swipes...

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?

or mouth, ull go drunk ;)

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 ;))

yes, of course it will, u should know that liquids ruin electrical components.

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.

oh :">

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.
