..........:::: - The Product Akasa TIM Clean is a CPU and Heatsink Cleaner - Removes thermal pads and silver base thermal grease. This product is designed to clean the processor (central processing unit) and can also be used to clean the heatsink. The heatsink is a little block of metal (aluminium/copper) that sits on top of the processor to help transfer the heat away. The heat travels into the block of metal which is then cooled by a fan. .......:::: ... ...The reason why you need Akasa TIM Clean is to remove the old paste or thermal pad when applying a new thermal compound. The cleaner the surface of the processor and heatsink, the less old thermal paste will be on there. This means your new paste will not have to mix with the old paste which could possibly make it become less conductive.

Advantages: quick, easy, removal of any thermal paste Disadvantages: Fumes are not so healthy, bottle cap design
I got my Akasa TIM cleaner yesterday after asking the tech guys at my company, if they had anything to clean the junk silver thermal paste I had on my 8800 GTX graphics chip.
Using a few paper towels and cotton buds, I followed the instructions on the bottle:
- Scrape off most of the thermal paste
- Apply cleaner using cloth (apply to the paper towel first, otherwise it will flow down onto the chip or motherboard)
- Leave for 1-2 minutes (this ... ...The Citrus smelling cleaning solution liquefied the silver paste in seconds and almost damanged my graphics card, because it went off too quickly.
Then, dipping a cotton bud in the solution, I also managed to clean the microscopic areas on the chip and the copper base on the 8800 cooler.

Advantages: Gets rid of even silver thermal paste, in seconds! Disadvantages: Smell gives you a headache
This TIM Cleaner is amazing, and it really works... I bought it for the computer I am building as I had put the heatsink on wrongly the first time onto the CPU, and the thermal paste that came with it was messed up. So I bought some new thermal paste, and this TIM Cleaner, put some on a lint free cloth, and then wiped the silver thermal paste off as if it were just a spill of water! It even went out of the microscopic grooves in the heatsink itself! ... ...fast it worked, it says it needs up to 2 minutes to work but it worked in just under 10 seconds for me.
Its citrus based too, so its not too harmful to your CPU or Heatsink and cause of that it even has a great orange smell! Though the smell will sometimes give you a headache if you are around it too long :)
It works in 4 easy steps you simply:
> Scrape off most of the old thermal paste with plastic or a cloth.
> Apply solution with a clean dry ...
