Just use paper towels or toilet paper along with alcohol. The thermal compound is excellent, just perfect fluidity and adhesiveness.

Bullshit! You threw away your money! There is nothing in there but alcohol and something to make it smell less like something else than alcohol.

That's the wrong kind of alcohol.

A bottle vodka will be about 40% ethyl alcohol by volume. Industrial grade denatured alcohol will be around 95% ethyl alcohol by volume and commercial rubbing alcohol is around 90% isopropyl alcohol by volume.

A 500ml bottle of rubbing alcohol costs around $4 at most pharmacies and grocery stores.

Why would you put thermal compound on your babys butt? :pfff:  (You should be arrested for child abuse!)

This thread is bordering on *********! :lol: 

Seriously all jokes aside!

The alcohol referenced is not the type you drink it is the antiseptic type you get from a grocery or drug store, usually with either a 70% or 90% isopropyl alcohol content. (Caution: Not for human consumption!)

No you do not clean thermal compound from a CPU or GPU with baby wipes, because they contain multiple additives like lanolin and such as that, which is great for a baby's bottom but not for your CPU or GPU.
