I've used both rubbing alcohol and ArctiClean to remove thermal paste and ended up finding that the ArctiClean worked a bit better than alcohol. Although if I remember right, the stuff in the first bottle is just the stuff in Goo Gone, and the second bottle is just something that can clean the residue up easier.

Tl;dr: Rubbing alcohol works, but they also make stuff meant for the task.

You should never re-apply thermal paste on top pf the old stuff. Make sure to clean it off as much as possible. I used this to clean the old stuff out of the V20.

u/Mallion1 · 3 pointsr/PS4

If dusting it out entirely didn't solve your problem I highly recommend tearing it down entirely & replacing the thermal compound on the APU. Be mindful of the 16 heat dispersion pads on the memory chips encircling the APU (8 on one side of the main board & 8 below). Get yourself some good thermal compound & use quality solution to fully clean/prepare the surface of the APU. Some people may tell you to get higher end thermal compound than what I've listed below but I'm telling you truthfully, I've tried a bunch (including the higher priced stuff) & this works just as well. Replacing the thermal compound fixed my loud fan issues. I've since done this for several friends & none have experienced further issues.

Ah I gotcha. Was gonna say that just adding more paste and not removing old stuff won't help.

I use this stuff but you really only need the first part of it.

You're 100% correct, but as someone who's had to fix a lot of HP laptops over the years, the thermal paste replacement mentioned above is always a good idea as well. HP has always used the worst thermal paste for their factory builds; after a year or two, you'll find it solidified and acting as an insulator rather than a heat conductor. If they used those stick-on thermal pads, it's even worse. The real question is why is it overheating? If the fan is moving, then either it can't move the heat because there's dust choking the heatsink fins, or it can't move heat because the heat is being trapped before it gets to the heatpipe. It's usually a combination of the two.

Also, not fixing this now means the fan will eventually burn itself out running at full blast like that. Better to fix it now than have to also buy a fan along with the thermal compound.

I recommend some thermal compound remover to clean up the existing stuff too. If it's HP's stock grease, it gunks up and gets very difficult to remove. This kit has both remover and new high-quality compound:
https://www.amazon.com/Arctic-Silver-Thermal-Compound-ArctiClean/dp/B002DILLMS/

or remover-only, if you already have the silver thermal:

u/NessInOnett · 3 pointsr/computers

It's just a heatsink that is (supposed to be) stuck onto a chip with thermal adhesive. It's the same thing as thermal paste that goes on your CPU, but it's sticky and meant to be permanent.

If you want to fix it, buy some thermal adhesive, try cleaning off the old adhesive with alcohol or acetone (nail polish remover), and put on the new stuff. They also make this stuff for this very purpose.. I have some, it works well.

u/Dstanding · 2 pointsr/3Dprinting

Protip: This stuff is great for removing the adhesive residue.

u/phigo50 · 2 pointsr/Amd

Don't for a second think that you'll be able to use them for lenses afterwards though, they don't wash very well. Also you can use a cotton bud (q tip) and toothpick to get in the fiddly bits. I have applied thermal paste to a gajillion CPUs over the years and I've always used ArctiClean to help. The first product dissolves the old paste making it easier to mop up and the second cleans the surfaces before application of the new paste.

u/LCTR_ · 2 pointsr/pcmasterrace

And the fan turns ok?

There are some cleaners for removing the old thermal paste and then cleaning the top of the CPU - https://www.amazon.com/ArctiClean-60ml-Kit-30ml/dp/B0007TOR08/

For replacement paste I'd normally go for - https://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-Compound-Performance-Heatsink-Interface/dp/B0045JCFLY/

Just use a pea-size blob, no more :)

u/ThinkPadMatt · 2 pointsr/thinkpad

Make sure that when you clean it, you are cleaning the top of the processor and the bottom of the heatsink that makes contact with the top of the processor. 70% alcohol works, although I prefer this stuff just because I work on a fair amount of systems.

If that doesn't work, try replacing the heatsink and if your temps are still high after that, you may want to try some Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut. I used that on my personal x240 and it idles in the mid 40's and doesn't get much above 70 when I throw a load at it.

My short rationale for the chosen products:

---------

  • CPU: Quad-core intel CPU clocked at 3,5GHz with a turbo of 4,0GHz. Codename: devils canyon. But it's an unlocked CPU meaning you can overclock it.
  • CPU Cooler: Very clean looking and solid CPU cooler, pretty easy to install and it will perform very well. Here is a review, wich you can look into more after you buy it. It's the same cooler, just different color.
  • Motherboard: Gigabyte Z97 gaming motherboard. Z97 is the latest intel chipset for devils canyon CPUs. Wich our CPU is. It got a seperate PCB part on the motherboard for just audio, wich in theory will help the sound quality because it can interference with other parts. It as well makes use of better audio capacitors and overall should give you a very solid listening experience. It as well comes with a killer NIC. This allows you to prioritise the internet towards your game to get slightly better performance out of it.
  • Memory: RAM is RAM. The only thing that really mathers is capacity. I went with 2x4GB, 1600MHz, CL9 kit from A-Data. This is a low profile kit that will fit under the quite large CPU cooler without any problems. You have the option to upgrade to 16GB later.
  • Storage: 250GB SSD and 3TB HDD. You have the budget for it, the samsung EVO is a very good SSD for the price, comes with some fancy software and got pretty solid read/write speeds. The 3TB HDD is just for mass storage and likely will never be filled, but games are getting like over 50GB in sizes these days.
  • Video Card: In my opinion the best GPU if we talk performance for money. It is around the same performance as the GTX780 from Nvidia. This XFX card is very good looking and performs very well. You get 3 free games with it as well (if the retailer let's you, I would suggest to check out different retailers to make sure you get your free games!) I can highly suggest Payday 2.
  • Case: I will get this exact case tomorrow. I can not wait! Here is a very good review of this case wich should make you go "oké! I want it" It as well will let you later watercool if you want to go for that. I stayed with air cooling as a start.
  • Case fans: Now I will add a few more fans. I would suggest to relocate the 200mm front fan and place it at the top as exhaust. Leave the 140mm stock fan there. These fans are actually very good and quiet silent. Then add the 2 140mm be quiet! fans in the front as intake. Then place the last 120mm be quiet! fan on the HDD cages to get more air towards the GPU. Here is a video that explains you how you know how to place the fans as I described you should.
  • Power Supply: 10 year warrenty, 80+ gold, fully-modular black sleeved cables, 850W PSU from EVGA. This PSU is a beast. JonnyGuru is considered as the best PSU reviewer and he did as well review this PSU. TLDR: 9,9/10.
  • OS: Windows 7 as you asked for. Windows 8 is better tho, just takes some time to get used to. Games will perform slightly better on 8 compared to 7 as well. But with this system, it won't really mather.

    ---------

    Here are 2 video's that guide you pretty well. It's pretty much the same for the whole build process, Ignore the components, it's outdated!

  • Linus $1500 gaming PC
  • Linus $2000 gaming/workstation PC

    One thing to note; if you install the stock intel cooler. It got pre-applied thermal paste on it. Wich you have to remove after. You can buy 90%+ isopropyl alcohol and a lint free cloth to remove the thermal paste of the CPU. An other option instead of the 90% isopropyl alcohol is this kit that I personally use as well. You don't need to use to much to clean it.

    Hope you like it and If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

u/houndazs · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

it's fine and normal, just clean it well. I suggest this cleaner

u/Thisisntcorpse · 1 pointr/originalxbox

Arctic clean shit works really well. I used no alc for this. Just warmed up the xbox, let the artic sit on it for a min, wiped up

I used these and it cleaned great. Just follow exact what manual say and you will have no problem. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007TOR08/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

u/thermiter36 · 1 pointr/buildapc

Arctic Silver makes thermal paste remover. Most of the time it's pointless as you can simply scrape the paste off of a flat CPU, but in this case I highly recommend it. Here it is on Amazon. You can also get it from Radio Shack if you don't want to wait for shipping. If you don't do this, though, be sure to use 99% Isopropanol. You do not want any water in there.

u/PatThePounder · 1 pointr/buildapc

You can’t buy rubbing alcohol from a gas station or Drug store?

If you’re going to buy something just buy this:

u/Dante-Alighieri · 1 pointr/buildapc

So he just filled the socket with thermal paste and didn't put the CPU in?

If so, he's lucky. PGA sockets can be cleaned out much easier than LGA with some isopropyl...though for it being in the socket, he'd maybe be better off getting some dedicated cleaner. The good news is that the stuff with the 212 appears to be non-conductive, so if there's still some in the socket, it won't short circuit anything.

u/EMCoupling · 1 pointr/buildapc

As for #3, would also recommend this for better cleaning than rubbing alcohol.

If you buy a proper tool and carefully follow the directions, slim to none. Just read reviews on the tool first, you want lots of happy customers, not some noname piece of plastic. And yes, you're gonna spend some money on this, don't try to do it cheap, you will regret it. Plan on spending $40-$100 total...

Now, full disclosure... I have been out of the delid/OC game for awhile. My latest CPU was the 4770k, so take this (possibly outdated) advice for what you will. That said, my delidded 4770k is still going strong to this day and has been very reliable. Mine was one of the first generations that had the crappy TIM, and I absolutely HATED IT.

After delidding, I personally took a (VERY) dull flathead screwdriver and gently scraped away the old silicone sealant, the idea being that with it gone, the heatspreader sits lower and has better contact. You don't need it perfectly clean/gone, but get most of it off.

As far as thermal compound, yes, any paste can be used. But I absolutely recommend liquid ultra. If you're gonna delid... you want the best. This stuff is basically metal, so it has the best thermal conductivity out there. The only downside is that it is electrically conductive, so please be careful.

Liquid ultra includes a scrubber (to remove the old thermal compound, you may also want some solvent for this) and a brush to apply the new stuff. I cut the brush with scissors to make it smaller, which helped. You want to use a VERY small amount, and evenly apply it over the whole die. When I say thin layer, I mean THIN. You can look up a guide to see how much to use. If you over-apply, you'll get worse performance and possibly kill your CPU when the excess runs off the die and onto your voltage regulators, or other sensitive components found on the CPU. Remember, when this stuff heats up, it behaves less like a paste and more like a liquid, so you only want it on and immediately around the die.

At this point, you are done. You could purchase some silicone sealant and reseal the CPU, but that's not necessary. I just dropped my CPU into the socket, gently/evenly set the IHS on the die, and closed the socket latch. If you never reopen the latch, you never have to reapply the liquid ultra. If you think you'll have to open the latch often, maybe sealant is for you. I personally never do, so I didn't need to seal mine.

My 4770k running at 4.7 GHz runs at 28c idle, 67c full load at 1.36 volts. Before delid, I would've been at 99c full load. Huge improvement. It's a little scary, but highly recommended! You'll be fine!

u/DZCreeper · 1 pointr/buildapc

Push-pull config on a NZXT Kraken X61 is so overkill. That 280mm radiator and variable speed pump is more than you need to cool basically any CPU. It won't help your GPU's temps much if at all and your CPU will only drop 1-5 degrees.

My personal suggestion is a bit crazy but if you have the budget I suggest water cooling your GPU's.

https://www.amazon.com/NZXT-Technologies-Kraken-Bracket-RL-KRG10-B1/dp/B00ITTFO8M - $30x2 for the brackets.

https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Hydro-Quiet-Liquid-Cooler/dp/B009VV56TY - $60x2 for the coolers.

$90 per card and your load temps will never peak over 60 degrees under load unless you live in a hot climate.

You might need some accessories like thermal paste, cleaning solution, and fan adapters if you don't have this stuff laying around.

https://www.amazon.com/Arctic-Silver-AS5-3-5G-Thermal-Paste/dp/B000OGX5AM $7.43x1

u/LastnameWurst · 1 pointr/pcmods

I suggest upgrading your CPU cooler to something possibly like the Cooler Master Hyper Evo, use some ArctiClean to clean up the CPU before the install after you remove the old cooler. I suggest using coffee filters to clean it up because they are lint free and work very well. You can find tutorials online on how to install a new cooler if you have any issues with it. You can either use the thermal paste the cooler comes with or get some Arctic Silver 5, I think Radioshack repackages it and sells it.

I also suggest setting it up so the fan is pushing air through the cooler towards the back of the case and if you can afford it, get a second fan for the other side and do a push/pull config and that will help temps a lot.

Or if you have enough room and want a good solution to lower CPU temps I suggest getting something like the Cooler Master Seidon 120XL. I have one in my build and helps the CPU temps since my case is so small


Also get some cable ties, that shit is a mess
