As the thread says, I am removing my CPU (LGA775) to return my motherboard. I need tips and help, any and all. What are the common npitfalls? What should I do about the thermal pad/paste? Should I clean the die and HS off now (when I don't have any cleaning materials) or wait a month (when I will be getting the new mobo and the earliest I can work on my computer) and clean it then? What about storage? I do have the little plastic insert that came with the proc, which I suppose will be fine.
Oh, and has anyone taken the fan off the stock Intel LGA heatsink? I want to thoughly clean it and will probably be doing this if it isn't too hard.
