Where do i get isopropyl alcohol for cleaning thermal paste from CPU ?

I asked some shops from yellow pages, they said they don't sell it now as it come in big barrel, etc..

Anyone know shop in Kochi, Kerala that sell it ? I searched for online shops, look like no one sell it online.

Chemist

you can get it from any medical shop. just ask for a small bottle and it costs rs 22 only .

it is the surgical spirit though. you can also mention it as rubbing alcohol.

yes, mention it as 'spirit' or 'surgical spirit'. comes in small, white bottle. mentioning it as 'isopropyl alcohol' or 'rubbing alcohol' would yield no effect.

Even dry petrol also clean the thermal paste

I got all the digit experts here and solved my problem

Why only you got mislead by it :twisted:

Its the new trend on forums... "have a catchy title so that it attracts more members".

Surgical spirit is not always Isopropyl alcohol. It could be denatured alcohol, methanol or isopropyl alcohol as is available generally. Make sure that you get isopropyl alcohol.

Surgicals shops are better for this purpose than general medical shops.

Even the smallest chemist in my vicinity had 70% w/w Isopropyl Alcohol. Try Rubbing Alcohol(same stuff)

i thought OP was talking about booze

I hate this misleading title. I thought someone started selling booz online. Damyum you for my hopes.

last time when i went out to buy it, i referred to it as rectified spirit, as i thought it was that (i still think it is), after vising 4-5 medical shops, one shop said they have "regular medical spirit" only. :duh2:

and the title is hella misleading.
:lol:
