ARCTICMX Cleaner (40 pieces) - Thermal paste remover, cleaning wipes, 11.5 x 11.5 cm, biodegradable

I had a couple of these wipes in a pack of thermal paste I used when switching my heatsink in my PC, and they work incredibly well at cleaning off old thermal paste. Lint free, convenient, and fast: so good that I had to order a full pack for my husband and I, in case we needed to do PC maintenance.One caution, though - these have a citrus-like smell that is *incredibly strong* and lingers. It's mostly pleasant, but very powerful, and even tossing a used wipe in the bin will give off the smell for quite some time. Still wholly recommend, but be aware of that as it could be overwhelming to people with sensitive noses.

These ARCTIC MX Cleaner wipes are a game-changer. I've been building and upgrading PCs for years, and my least favourite part has always been cleaning off old, stubborn thermal paste. It's messy and often requires a lot of isopropyl alcohol and elbow grease. These wipes make the entire process incredibly simple, clean, and fast.The two-step system is brilliant. The "Cleaner" wipe (Step 1) dissolves even the most caked-on thermal compound with ease, lifting it right off the CPU or GPU. The "Purifier" wipe (Step 2) then removes any remaining residue and prepares the surface perfectly for a new application. The wipes are a good size, lint-free, and don't leave any fibres behind.With 20 individually packed sets (40 wipes in total), this kit offers fantastic value for money. It's more than enough for dozens of builds and upgrades. I used one set to clean both my CPU and my old graphics card, and the results were flawless. My temperatures have been great since reapplying new paste on the perfectly prepped surfaces.If you build, upgrade, or maintain PCs, do yourself a favour and get these. They're an essential, time-saving tool. Highly recommended!

Worked great! Easy to use just kept having to fold it over to wipe the thermal paste off. Used two pieces, one for the cpu and one for the cooler. It does smell very strong but it's definitely not a bad smell.

Cleans thermal paste well, only issue is it stinks out the whole place once you use them so maybe use them in a ventilated area.

Very easy to use - and smell good! Since they are lint-free you don’t need to worry about lint or other fibres remaining on the part you’re cleaning the thermal paste off of, and you get lots in the box. Recommend for having around for any reposting you do.

Ease of use:Really easy to use and gets rid of thermal paste

Excellent item. Arrived as described and does what it says on the box. Brand reputation is solid and these wipes continue to build on that reputation. Would definitely buy again as i build/repair desktop and laptop regularly.

its very good thermal paste remover but the smell is really high and fills the whole flat. I suggest that when you clean the thermal paste on CPU/GPU put the wipes straight in a small container with some washing up liquid and water that will reduce the smell
