I always see linus using 99% isopropyl alcohol, but the walmart next to my house only has 91%, will that work too?

 

I think the fry's near my house may have that tim cleaner kit from "arcticlean"  but it's like a 40minute drive each way, so I'd really like to avoid that.

 

We have a walgreens near us as-well, but I checked online and couldn't find any.

 

 

The rest of my watercooling parts show up today, and I totally derped and forgot to buy some when I ordered the parts, I REALLY would like to put it together today+tomorrow at the latest.

 

 

Thanks :D

You'll be fine. Just remember to make sure that it's dry. You'll get no more contaminants on the heat spreader with 91% than you would with 99% - most of the contaminants will come from the drying process while it's sitting out (dust is a sneaky bastard).

 

Don't worry at all - just use it all in moderation.

Don't be nervous, be confident! What blocks and fittings are you going to be using? I'm absolutely in love with liquid cooling and will be doing a new setup for my latest build.
