yea, well i'm stupid
I have a DFI lanparty UT ultra-d motherboard and i was wondering how to remove the CPU
well, i know how, you just unscrew, release the latch, and pull out the CPU, but:
1.) do i pull the CPU out with force?
2.) where do i put the CPU after i'm done pulling it out? i won't have another motherboard to put it on for another month (RMA'd this board), is it safe to just leave the CPU hanging in a box for a month? (room temperature of course)
3.) i just apply thermal glue to between the CPU and mobo like i would as if the CPU was new, right?
thanks
