    Seems rather odd, not being able to find isopropyl alcohol.

    If you're of age, perhaps you could get the UK equivalent of Everclear. It's pretty much just pure ethanol, no added flavors, colors or preservatives.


    You can use it to clean your CPU and celebrate your success!

Thermal Paste
in Hardware & Devices

After reading some good reports on Shin Etsu thermal paste, I bought some, but am having a lot of problems with getting it to spread properly. It tends to clump together, and when forcing it out, it leaves such a thin covering that the lettering on the CPU is still plainly visible. I'm about to...
