Overall, the cleaning fluids worked great, and I used the Arctic Silver 5 grease for my laptop after cleaning it with these
so I don't know if either is more effective but this kit worked great and let me reseat my heatsink easily.
Incidentally, I've found rubbing alcohol is a suitable replacement for the "2" bottle and any "orange clean" (which the stuff actually smells like) works as well as the "1" bottle, though I have no idea whether or not using such a chemical would be damaging if it were to land on the
I removed the stock paste from my S36 and this 1, 2 combo worked great.
This 2 part solution worked very well and now everything is back to how it should be.
Does a great job removing and cleaning all that gooey Artic Silver and any thermal paste
Does a great job cleaning the IHS surface and also the Heat spreader block.
i recommend for removing the old paste if possible with just a cotton ball first before apply the thermal material remover (1) its less of a messy job.
Made removing thermal paste super easy and the second bottle does a great job of preparing it for the new paste.
Does a great job of creating a clean surface for thermal paste.
Kit is the excellent product so remove old thermal compound from the CPU radiators.
Fantastic product cleans the thermal paste off super easy.
Best product on the market for getting old thermal compound off of a cpu.
This product cleaned off the old thermal paste quite nicely
Although you will only use a little bit of it you will have some piece of mind that this product helped your thermal paste adhere to the glass/heat sink for better conduction.
Left a perfectly clean residue free surface for a new coating of thermal insulator.
Perfectly cleans any thermal paste residue off a heat sink and CPU
59C. Plus, I cleaned the AIO block again when I upgraded to Skylake, and my idle temps go as low as 17C and highest temps are 50-60C.These really clean AND can help with performance, cleaning old residue paste off
Took me probably 20 minutes to get my heat sinks off (I really like my little project board and didn't want to damage the ARM chip).
Repeat if necessary until area is clean,Now use a drop or two from bottle 2 to really clean off all residue of solvent

ArctiClean is a two-step cleaning process that removes existing thermal grease or pads and prepares the thermal surface for a fresh application of thermal interface material
ArctiClean is a specially formulated product to remove TIM from heatsinks and electronics
Features: Unique 2-Step Process ArctiClean 1 Thermal Material Remover quickly emulsifies and dissolves the existing thermal grease or pad from the CPU and/or heatsink so that it can easily be removed with a clean cloth or paper towel
A few drops of ArctiClean 2 Thermal Surface Purifier and some gentle wiping then removes the remaining residue and inhibits flash corrosion on copper or aluminum
ArctiClean 1 Thermal Material Remover ArctiClean 1 uses a proprietary combination of non-toxic biodegradable solvents to emulsify thermal greases or thermal pads
The citrus and soy based solvents in ArctiClean 1 match or exceed many hazardous and volatile solvents such as fluorinated and chlorinated organic solvents, acetone, MEK (methyl ethyl ketone), mineral spirits, isopropyl alcohol, and toluene
ArctiClean 2 Thermal Surface Purifier The cationic surfactants in ArctiClean 2 remove any residue left by the ArctiClean 1 leaving a pristine surface for the application of a new thermal interface material
It also incorporates advanced flash corrosion inhibitors that minimize the corrosion layer on copper and aluminum allowing for more intimate contact between the thermal interface material and the heatsink
Using ArctiClean 2 With Other Solvents Most solvents and cleaning products leave residue on the CPU and heatsink that negatively affects the performance of any subsequently applied thermal interface material
ArctiClean 1 Thermal Surface Purifier removes the residue of citrus or petroleum based cleaners and inhibits flash corrosion on a copper or aluminum heatsink.
