suchuwato Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Ralph Lauren Haven't you got any alcohol or something? It would probably work, but may (will) leave some kind of deposit you don't want... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abid Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 what deposit? it will damage the cpu and cooler? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycho_terror Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 (edited) never use anything scented to clean a CPU, especially not perfume. these products are designed to leave a smell behind, and in fact the higher the quality, the more effectively they do this. the alcohol in the perfume is designed to evaporate and leave behind whatever is producing the smell, some sort of oil for example, and this would remain on the surface of the processor and impede heat transfer. get yourself some pure alcohol, or TIM cleaner.

maj0rgamer Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 (edited) i wouldn't use the perfume. you could use rubbing alcohol...should be able to get some for about $1 in us funds. or better yet, denatured alcohol is better for quick evaporation but is much more expensive. i found some denatured alcohol in the hardware section at walmart...if you live outside of the us, you can probably find it in the hardware section of stores or at an actual hardware store. rubbing alcohol can be found at most stores, and at pharmacies without a problem.

CheeseMan42 Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Your question was answered in another of your threads right here. Use high percentage rubbing alcohol and cotton balls. http://forums.overclockersclub.com/index.p...=159425&hl= Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 Perfumes contain oils. Therefore it would be a really bad idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyper Threaded Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 Well, if you use perfume to clean the CPU, you'll effectively be making one of those oil warmers. Your house will smell of perfume until it all evaporates.. I advise against doing that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryTaco Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 Hi Abid, Hey man, you are really entertaining reading this AM lololol. Personally I like AXE cologne. If you use the spray you could get a really even coat on the cpu (hohoho). Reality, Alcohol is safe and works. Acetone (which is what i always use) isnt that safe but works like a Champ if you are careful how u use it. Paint Thinner the same. Please keep Posting,,, I love it,,, haha.
