ArctiClean 60ml Kit 1 & 2 Thermal Grease Paste Compound Remover and Purifier. 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 hazardsous 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 2 Thermal Surface Purifier removes the residue of citrus or petroleum based cleaners and inhibits flash corrosion on a copper or aluminum heatsink.

Great cleaning and polishing solution for your computer CPU andGPU!!!
It worked well and super cleaning power. The heat sink plates and CPU and GPUs were clean and shiny to add the thermal paste afterwards. This a great value for the money and size which doesn’t require a lot to use to do the cleaning tasking. This is good to have if you do your own maintenance on your computer.

Works well, smells nice, much easier to work with then IPA
Works super well for old thermal paste. I normally work with older gpus, and replacing the thermal paste for baked on thermal paste was always difficult for a IPA. This reduces what would be 1000x the volume to a few drops. It also smells very pleasant like oranges. Which beats having IPA smell throughout the house.

Best product for thermal compound
Nothing like this product for cleaning thermal compound, even 30 plus year old stuff comes off with ease. Works by emulsion instead of solvent based cleaning.

Huge time saver
This stuff pays for itself the first time you use it by the time it saves. I had some ancient thermal adhesive and this turned it into goo that I could wipe off easily.

Works as advertised. Not sure it's worth the price tag though for the typical consumer.
First off to be clear, despite the 4 star review, I have absolutely no issues with the product. It does exactly as specified. It also seems like it will last a fairly long time, you only need a drop or two in order to be able to start to clean things.That said, from my experience, it doesn't work any better than good ol' isopropyl alcohol, in fact, in my case, I would say it was a tiny bit worse.It certainly broke down the old thermal past very fast. But it was a bit tough to wipe the paste off cleanly, it kept leaving thermal paste residue and I had to reapply the solution multiple times.Perhaps I just got a bad batch and I was trying to be careful when wiping things down. I would say this stuff is certainly worth trying at least once, but unless you're constantly cleaning thermal paste it's probably less expensive to just stick with alcohol.

Love this stuff
Been using ArctiClean for almost two decades now and I’ll never use anything else. It cleans incredibly well and never has any trouble breaking down the toughest old thermal paste and wiping it clean off with a paper towel. I’ve used it on game systems, desktops, and laptops for many years without issue. It’s so nice to wipe off old paste with ease and have a clean, polished surface ready for new thermal material.The 60ml bottles are a good size too and typically last me for two years or so. But I repair and refurb a fair amount of electronics, so for average home use it’d likely last much longer. For as much use as I get from it, I’d happily pay twice the price. It’s just a tremendous time saver.

Functional and effecient
I do a few PC builds and upgrades. This set of Artic cleaners are perfect for the job. One aids in cleaning and the second preps the surface before the new paste is applied. Perfect for the job and since they are in bottles, you can use as much is required and keep the rest for future use.
