How do you clean CPUs from different types of labels and from thermal compound?
I use Isopropanol. Do you have any devices and technologies you use? Does anybody use ultrasound bath? What liquids do you use for this?

Brake cleaner with xylene and acetone i it works well

FOr ceramics I also use a stove glass cleaner, as it cleans the ceramic well.

Does it affect prints somehow?

Can you post some examples of such liquids?

For thermal compound I use "extraction gasoline" it is strong for greases but do not hurts the print. Stickers I pre-heat with hair dryer and then clean leftover of glue with previous liquid. For very old dry stickers I have sticker remover liquid which is a bit greasy and I do not use it often.
