Cleaning CPUs with Isopropyl Alcohol - Is 70% Concentration Enough?

I've been on a massive DIY PC building spree recently, and I've come across varying opinions on how to clean CPUs. Some of my friends suggested that I use 70% isopropyl alcohol, claiming it does the job quite well. But I've also read that higher concentrations might be better. Given the delicate nature of CPUs, I want to make sure I'm using the right stuff. Can 70% isopropyl alcohol effectively clean a CPU without causing any damage? 😕

Welcome, Robert! The primary reason for using isopropyl alcohol on CPUs is its fast-evaporating nature, which ensures no residue remains i read about this on cpulifes site. While higher concentrations might evaporate even faster, 70% isopropyl alcohol is indeed effective for cleaning CPUs. It's essential, however, to ensure that the alcohol doesn't drip onto other parts, and always use a lint-free cloth. Hope this clarifies your query! ��

What criteria do you take into account when choosing a single board computer for your projects, and what specific characteristics do you consider most important for the successful implementation of your ideas?

Greetings my friend! The choice of single board computer depends on the specific tasks and requirements of the project. When choosing, I usually pay attention to the characteristics of the processor, the amount of RAM, the presence of the necessary interfaces (for example, USB, GPIO), as well as support for operating systems. Additionally, the community and support around the chosen platform is an important factor. What criteria are most important for you when choosing a single board computer?
