ThisI think the concern is that the ISO might affect the IHS cover seal. I'd be more inclined to suggest soaking it pin side down with the ISO level coming up to the bottom of the PCB.

That actually looks really good now i'm glad it appears to have worked for you. I did drop a CPU once while removing it, i was teaching a friend on assembly, disassembly, how to check coverage etc and he bumped me. Landed upside down in the socket and it was AS5 which is electrically conductive so in the garbage it went (like 15 years ago).
I always clean the CPU before de-socketing it now regaurdless of paste.
i was worried the pins would be lik intels brittle straw >< amds is far more dense i brused they didnt budge a nm
Wasn't always that way though , intel switched (God I wish I could remember when) from Pins on the CPU to pins on the socket instead. I've always preferred the way AMD does it, as I too have bent pins in my time.

My first board with pins was a Nvidia n-force board. From what I found it looks like the "Land Grid Array" started with socket LGA775 on the Pentium 4 in 2004.
