RMA Mobo, how to store CPU

[Deyvy]

Hi,

I built a system on Tuesday, looks lie the mobo is faulty I will have to send it back...Just curious whats the best way to keep/store the cpu? And This means I probablyhave to invest in cleaning materials to clean the chip when I get the mobo back?

The original box packaging I think I've thrown it away..

OEM chips usually come resting on some foam in a little cardboard box. If you have some foam, lay it on then and then put to one side where it wont get knocked or kicked about....
