If it isn't, I'll come back and say so.[/STRIKE]Surface prep fluid works like a charm to get last of greasy smears off the metal prior to applying the heat transfer medium

Best pair of liquids for cleaning the top surface of the CPU, and the cooler that is going to keep it cool

And it just underscores the sensitivity of the matter when it comes to properly preparing a surface and cleaning it before applying thermal paste.

I used it to wipe away all of the old thermal paste and it really gave me a clean surface to work with

The surfaces are VERY CLEAN after the 1 + 2 combination, and you are left with an extremely pleasant scent for your heatsink + cpu surfaces

I use Q tips and this combo is perfect and leaves and shockingly clean surface which is always preferred as the starting point for new thermal compounds.

a must have to clean surfaces for new thermal paste.

Left the surfaces nice and shiny for the new coat of diamond grease.

I used to use alcohol to clean contact surfaces, but never again

It leaves a very clean surface, so the thermal paste get a good contact on both surfaces.

This kit includes the remover and the cleaner surface.

and it just like a new surface.

It's cheap and works great, I really recommend it for cleaning the CPU/GPU surface before reapplying new thermal paste.

As far as cleaning/removing thermal compounds it works well, I actually use it to clean other electronic surfaces as well, such as when removing cell phone adhesive before replacing it.

It worked quickly to clean up the contact surfaces of my i5-2500k and a Cooler Master heat sink, and I have plenty left over.

I needed to clean this surface to re-apply the thermal compound.

Let it sit for a minute or two and wipe the surface clean

It really takes the old grease off and leaves a shiny surface ready for the new stuff

Don't be afraid that you need a perfectly clean surface with the white cap before switching over to the blue cap bottle

Once all was done, I had a perfectly clean CPU surface and a perfectly clean heatsink, which I used Arctic Silver 5 to reattach.

Cleans and purifies the surface of the CPU and GPU for thermal paste application

Takes old thermal compound right off and leaves the surface with a mirror shine, ready to accept new compound.

Great little kit that leaves absolutely zero residue, creating a perfect surface for thermal paste

It smelled great (very citrus-y) and took off the remaining compound after several light wipes with the cloth (folding it a few times to use a clean cloth surface throughout)

The ArctiClean kit works perfect to clean and purify the surface for heatsink installation

This is the only game in town if you want to properly clean your mounting surfaces before applying/reapplying thermal paste to your CPU and heatsink.

Just make sure you use a non-lint cloth to wipe the old away and clean the surface of the CPU

no 1 bottle cleans the thermal compound and no 2 bottle cleans up the surface really nice

Remove impurities and clean the surface so deep

This stuff did a good job of helping to get that cleaned up, and the surfaces I prepared for the reapply seemed shinier than normal.

Did as instructed and i was amazed when i had a shiny surface.

Cleaned surfaces well and made cleaning the processor easier for someone not as versed in how to do it

Step 2 purifies it and leaves it super clean and shiny; making it a much more effective surface to transfer heat.

this kit is a good price on the pair of overpriced surface degreaser and cleaner 'kit'.

The surface looks much cleaner and is easier to clean as well

these items clean and prepare surfaces very well and are a small size, handy for someone to carry around with them

Solution number 2 cleans off the first solution and cleans up the surface rather nice.

Do the same with the second solution and you'll end up with a shiny clean surface to apply some real thermal paste onto and you're done

This stuff cleans the surface so it looks brand

This thermal paste is no joke and does a great job removing the old gunk and cleaning the surface for the next application.

Does a great job of creating a clean surface for thermal paste.

Left a perfectly clean residue free surface for a new coating of thermal insulator.

this stuff worked well on cleaning compound from my CPU, but about just as good as

just make sure you clean ur thermal compound as much as you can before dropping no 1 bottle

There seem to be a lot of home remedies for cleaning a
