and second of all i can guarantee you 1000% you will bend the pins

AMD CPUs had much firmer fins but i could not get the grease off the CPUs with toothbrush and water or any other solvent which is supposed to dissolve the grease

once it's in there you just have to live with it or you could give the whole mobo a soap bath and then bake it at very low temps for an hour or whatever to dry it heheheh (i can show you photos of the second method )
Thanks for the info dinos22. I would like to see a pic of you backing a mobo!

I guess I should ask a more intelligent question. With stock cooling (say stock intel cooler) will the grease actually cause a problem? I wouldn't think so, but I don't know.

Most people you can sell to have never even looked inside a computer, so as long as it won't cause any problems, I'm down.
