    Do Scan sell...

    Any cleaning fluids that remove thermal grease?

    Had a look about the website but cant see anything.

    Akasa TIM Cleaner

    Just add some lint free cloths and it's a bargain.

    Or a bottle of Isopropanol (Isopropyl alcohol) from a friendly local chemist. It's always worked for me. £0.99p for 500ml last time I bought one.

    This also works although I would make sure it is 100% Isopropanol.

    This lasts long, I've used it rigorously over the past 4 years and it's still not empty

    I've used brasso before. Had to remove the residue afterwards. Wouldn't recommend it again.

    My CPU really is not that clean, but it's faring alright...
