I know we used to use coffee filters to clean glass windows because they left no streaks/smears. I don't drink coffee so never have them on hand otherwise.

isnt thermal paste just thermal paste?
It can make maybe a 5 degrees Celsius difference, between bad and good, maybe a bit more if extreme.
FWIW, I clean with 92% isopropyl and paper towels or face cleaning pads (like compressed cotton balls). It's worked the last 20 years, so I image it'll keep working.
Says 20% better vs mx-4 ........both are great if you already have it
What does that even mean? 20% better at conducting heat? Unlikely, that would mean that it would allow you to dissipate 240W when MX-4 let you dissipate 200W. 20% better temps? Are we measuring from ambient? In Kelvin?
