This actually makes me laugh as to how many people who have said this, mostly on Youtube comments. The LGA processors are tough as nails. I literally keep them stacked up and take no special care of them. I have never seen a LGA CPU damaged by handling ever. You can use the things for throwing stars. All that said, I generally clean them off with 99.9% alcohol when I go to actually use those. In the video, the socket was broken, I was not worried about it being actually fired up on a working system.What shocked me about this video is how you touch the processors contacts with your bare fingers repeatedly before installing it in the socket!
