I have an AMD Athlon II X4 635 with a dead* motherboard (Asus M4A785-M) and I have to send it in for RMA but the problem is the board will not even power up anymore so the CPU will not get hot enough to soften the OEM Thermal glue (Paste) In the past (Socket 939 days) I had the CPU get stuck to the HSF and when it was removed the pins got bent So is there a trick to this as I don't want to damage the board further (So I can still RMA the thing) and also I want to have the CPU come out intact.
* = The board is totally dead and will not post and will kill any ram that is in the DIMM slots (DDR2= Expensive)
Also when I get the board back I plan to sell it and buy a board that uses DDR3
