CPU Cleaning

[ELLISRKE]

Hi, i am going to be installing a corsair H105 in my rig soon and will obviously have to clean the thermal compound off the CPU, will 100% isopropyol alcohol work the same as 99% or is there a reason you cant use 100% ?

Thanks

Should be fine.

Yeah, I used it on my CPU.  Just use it with a coffee filter.  And it dries really quick, so after its dried put the new cooler on.

He means wipe the old paste off with the filter instead of paper towel. The filter will not leave behind fibers.
