CPU cleaning

I am looking to get a new cooler for my cpu, I cannot seem to get my hands on any rubbing alcohol but have found some 70% alcohol wipes. Would these be ok to use? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Anself-Antiseptic-Sterilization-Cleanser-Portable/dp/B06XDMBSSV/ref=sr_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=rubbing+alcohol&qid=1587128539&refinements=p_76%3A419158031&rnid=419157031&rps=1&sr=8-6

You could use water so long as you make sure it's dry when it's done and you didn't get run off onto the motherboard/cpu traces.

70% is perfectly safe, I use it all the time.
