I used to wipe thermal paste off with coffee filters until a buddy stopped me

He watched me do it on a Ryzen build and just goes "dude those have paper fibers that'll scratch the IHS." Now I only use those Kimtech wipes from my workbench, never going back. Anyone else learn a basic cleaning habit the hard way?

Didn't know coffee filters could scratch" - wait until you see what old t-shirts do to a CPU.
