SOLVED ALL THE COMMENTS BELLOW ANSWERED IT 

 

ok so i might be switching out a duel core 1155 cpu in my dads pc for a quad core soon (thinking a 3570) but the only issue is that i have never removed a cpu from a motherboard. could anyone link me to a guide on how to without damaging the motherboard pins or the cpu?

Specs

CPU: i5 4670k i won the silicon lottery Cooler: Corsair H100i w/ 2x Corsair SP120 quiet editions Mobo: ASUS Z97 SABERTOOTH MARK 1 Ram: Corsair Platnums 16gb (4x4gb) Storage: Samsun 840 evo 256gb and random hard drives GPU: EVGA acx 2.0 gtx 980 PSU: Corsair RM 850w Case: Fractal Arc Midi R2 windowed

You know how to put a CPU in? Do it backwards..

 

Lift up the retention arm, open the bracket, and pick up the CPU.. Be very gentle, and you'll be fine.

i7 not perfectly stable at 4.4.. #firstworldproblems

Basically reverse what you did when you put it in. Don't apply downwards pressure when taking out the cpu.

Unlatch the lever and remove the CPU straight out?

It is actually very similar to putting it in: just carefully lifting it up. Skip to 2:40

Well take the heatsink off and take out the chip. However don't forget to clean the thermal paste off if you ever plan to reuse it for anything.

Oh well actually I think we forgot to mention you will have to unplug everything from your mobo, remove your PSU, take it outside of your house, wait six days for the corrosion to build inside, then draw tribal symbols on the ground and sacrifice your sister to the computer gods, then take the PSU that is now infused with the spirits of your ancestors then plug everything back in and take the CPU out normally.

You're doing it all wrong! You have to sacrifice your mother, not your sister!
