What do i use to clean CPU

[ray liotta]

Do i need a special product to clean thermal compound off it, or can i use a microfiber cloth & alittle bit of water to wipe it clean.

Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA)

Water is no good.

I can see why that would work as a solvent, but won't you end up with a residue of the perfume coating the chip?
