But it's next to impossible to remove an LGA775 CPU by accident. :-?
I could see that the LGA775 is next to impossible, but with Socket 478 its possible because ive done this 3 different times with other people's computers. The stock thermal pads will just be stuck to the CPU like crazy after having it a few years. When I went to take off the heatsink, the CPU came right out of it, though the CPU's pins were still perfect...
So when you take off a heatsink, just be sure to pull straight up, not to the side. :-D
