Hiya
So close to getting this blasted pc working again
So, I ordered a heatsink cleaner, and some compound. Now, they are both from Dabs.com, and this is the cleaner:
TIM-clean - CPU & Heatsink Cleaner
removes thermal pads and silver based thermal grease - citrus based solvent, containing petroleum distillates
Great you all say, then I get the compund itself:
Antec - Silver Thermal Compund
Never use any oil or petroleum-based cleaners (WD-40, citrus based grease removers, etc ) to clean the surface.
So, I'm confused. If they're both from Dabs, and they're soley the only ones they really have, can I use the cleaner?
If not, I'll have to find some nail polish remover, and I'm not asking for that stuff at the counter, whilst I have a basket full of shaving foam and razors
