Tried cleaning it, damn hands too big and bent 3 pins. &£!@

Plugged CPU in w/out heatsink 5mins. Works.

Reseller can replace CPU immediately.

Just hijacked a PC to use:

Okay, I appreciate your help however I would like to know if you were in my shoes, with the bent pins an' all, would you get a replacement if it was no hassle at all?

The CPU has some thermal crap over the crevices on the base... I'll use a toothpick to get it out?

Which mobo should I get a replacement for... my current one is out of stock at my retailer and something at the same price £120 is preferable.
