with a microfibre cloth, it doesn't say lint free tho

Should I pour the stuff on the cloth and then rub it on the cpu, or drip it on the cpu directly and wipe it off.

and I will be using this: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

should i actually do it one by one, and use two cloths?

That will be fine, just damp with rubbing alcohol before wiping.

I used Cotton buds and deodorant (just make sure it is not antiperspirant) Worked brilliantly.

Spray the cotton bud and just clean the top of the chip.

Yeah, I mean you're supposed to use isopropyl alcohol and coffee filters but a bunch of the guys here have done some janky ass shit to clean CPUs before, I used a fkn KFC wet wipe once so I'm sure you'll be fine.

Just drip the liquid on to the cloth and wipe the thermal paste off of your CPU.
