Go to solution Solved by 11killer34,

Thank you all, just got it and it was spray but it had like very tight tube on the end it worked great :)

On description it saz: 

Tecnoware Cleansing Alcohol is a great choice for cleaning electronic circuits and other electronic devices and parts.

 

Im wondering if this is 99% Alchohol that i need for cleaning of thermal paste. Because my hyper 212 cooler has friction on heatsink and its hard to remove thermal paste. But on description also saz its spray so im not sure.

Ehhh, you probably need to look at the ingredients, I don't think a spray kind of alcohol is the best kind to use, just order some regular shit off Amazon.

As others have said, I'd just get a bottle of >90%. The spray stuff is probably fine regarding the alcohol, but to get it out of the can there's also driving gas. Stuff you'd rather not have over your components, should a bit leak out in fluid form.

A bottle of the stuff is also easier to use in my opinion, but to each their own.

You'd be fine with any bottle of 70% or greater. No point in paying more for something that won't help.
