Thermal Paste Removal/Installation Guide

[Osoclocker69]

Don't get those sh*tty alchool crap. I don't use any solutions and I get about 23C with my 212 evo and e8400

You mean you don't use any thermal paste? If yes then you must be retarded

I use Thermal paste but I don't clean it up with sh*tty alchool solutions

*Alcohol.
And why don't you use it? There's nothing wrong with it, and I bet you just leave some bits of dry thermal paste because you don't use alcohol.

Then what would you clean it with? The most common and practical solution would be alcohol...

With napkins

With napkins

That'll still leave some old dry thermal paste.

Maybe your "ok" temps aren't very "ok"

But I get ok temps

Getting "Ok temps" doesn't mean the will be "Ok" for every other CPU, specially the ones with overclock.
And alcohol is not "sh*tty", it actually helps cleaning quite a lot.

Thx for help! I'm so stupid, I thought the thermal paste would make the cpu cooler stuck to the cpu >_<, I'm kinda a noob but I know the basics like graphics cards, CPUs , the differnce of what CPUs go on what motherboards like 1150 and 2011 boards, ssds are faster then a HHd, types power supplys, and what some of the best cpu coolers are. Now I just need to learn how to over clock the fudge out out of graphics cards and CPUs! Again Thx for the help!

not to mention also leaving behind debris from the napkins all over the surface of the CPU and where ever else it was near, Napkins are also static generators.
