Wait you actually removed your cpu with the heatsink on and the socket level down? Yeah have good luck trying to put it back and make it work or something.

It's happened to me before, and it still worked, no damage. It seems that the only thing holding the CPU down is friction.

Oh god, I've had this happen before. Not a single bent pin, amazingly.

Still, be careful.

this was such a lame thing to happen.. I never used it once... I had another cooler from the day of the build... and now I was swapping to a new cooler, and though I'd benchmark the darn thing... after an hour of torturing, the damn thing awnsers to me by trying to murder my core...

intel CPU retention = much better/safer method in every possible way.

you're supposed to heat up the paste...

 

One one of the old computers I had laying around that happened, so I ended up popping the CPU off with a flat head screwdriver :P

Didn't end up harming it at all :D

I've destroyed 20 Intel P4 PGA 478 CPUs by this. IDK why AMD CPUs fare better.
