im having a hard time finding 99% isopropol alcohol to clean cpu and cooler. anyone know places where i can buy
question if its a brand new cpu and a brand new cpu cooler do i need to clean both before applying thermal paste?Iso is a bit harder due to covid demand for sanitizer. You can use articlean.

i will check it out if i need it again. but i have 20 wipes so it wont be for awhile. considering i dont change thermal paste for 2-3 yearsFWIW, if you have WholeSaleClub (Superstore's 'bulk' place), that's where I buy my 99% as needed.
Was a few weeks ago, and I'm in AB, but they always appear to have it - Somehow kept in stock throughout the pandemic..... at least out here anyway.

yea i dont use it as a daily cleaner it would only be used for the pc.Never hurts to have on hand - great as a disinfectant, cleaning solution, removing stuff like marker stains or sticker residue (may need to be diluted, depending on the task). But if you're covered with the wipes, perfect!
As an FYI on the wipes for future reference (or if you haven't got them yet), if you were also buying paste, you could've picked up 3.5g or 10g of Noctua NT-H2 & gotten 3 or 10 wipes included.

i bought a new noctua nh-d15 chromax black and that comes with some thermal paste so i didnt need to buy any of that at least i dont think so
it does come with NT-H1 which im told is really good stuff and has great reviews im glad noctua includes it. idk how much is in it but shelf life is only probably 1-2 years after it has been opened anyways so ill probably end up throwing it away once im done with it. keep it until shelf life is over just incase i need to reset the coolerThe NH-D15 comes with NT-H1, I believe - Good quality stuff and probably enough for 6-10 applications on 115x size, going from memory.
