Anti fiber cloth and isopropyl alcohol. Don't waste money on thermal paste remover crap

You'd just use alcohol + toilet paper

Coffee filters.

Rubbing Alcohol and paper towel. Toilet paper can start to come apart when it gets wet.

I had some but I found that Akasa TIM Clean is better value, (30ml Artic vs 150ml Akasa)- same price.

 

Just drop it on the CPU, let it sit for 30 seconds and then use toilet paper. Will probably take a few attempts to get it perfect.

Q-Tips/Coffee filters and alcohol is supposedly one of the best ways.

Rubbing alcohol and a lint free cloth, such as toilet paper or a coffee filter. Q-tip for finishing touches and dry rub with a microfiber cloth to seal the deal.

I just use paper towel and it works perfectly. And it must have worked since now that I've replaced the thermal paste on my grandma's computer it's running cooler (same cheap stuff too).

it is easier for me to buy this thermal paste remover then buy some alcohol

 

Will it do the job because it isnt that expensive

Alcohol is like $2. There's no need to buy something specialized when it does the exact same thing as something else.

and what do i do with the CPU cooler do i need to clean it also with some thermal paste remover?

As a question of curiosity, how is it easier? Rubbing alcohol is in every supermarket and pharmacy, whereas thermal paste cleaner can be only really found online or in  computer stores.

Exact same thing you would do with the processor.

A worn out rag would be better. I would imagine that pieces from the toilet paper would stick.

Go to your local booze shop, and get some vodka. Pour it on and then wipe the processor off with the brown paper bag the came with the vodka.
