Remving Arctic Silver

subzer0 · 16th July 2002, 12:12 AM

I desperately needed to remove some thermal paste from the core (and ceramic) of my xp 1800. And i heard u ca use naptha lighter fluid on them. So i did, does anyone know if this is bad? Or does it actually work?

that seemed to work.

Check out the instructions at the Arctic Silver site here...

Basically some sort of alcohol for the core & dishwashing detergent for the ceraminc - leaves your CPU clean & lemon fresh!

CRC Contact Cleaner is great stuff for all your electrical components. It cleans extremely well and leaves NO residue on your chip.

Cheers,
