Definitely. Yeah, even magnets might help you out of you’re just trying to pull the CPU up (just keep the magnets away from HDDs and whatnot of course). Best of luck with it all 👍
Comment on How to take CPU out?
great_7562@ani.social 1 week agoGlue or suction cup might work, yes (though with glue, I’d be scared of damaging something if the glue for example grabs something wrong too).
Also, someone mentioned about the gaps on the sides of socket for fingers to fit that I did not know, so that might work too.

It should come out easy enough that a loop of tape around your finger pressed to the back of the cpu should let you lift it right out.
Wipe the back with rubbing alcohol to get the tiny bit of adhesive and you shoukd be good to go.
