I know what you guys may all be thinking, "Why is he still using a Celeron D series???"
To answer that question, it's because apparently I was trying to replace the heatsink/fan of the cpu and when I was pulling out the heatsink/fan, the cpu came with it too.. I was quite surprised. No pins were bent no damage was inflicted anywhere on both end. But now I can't pull the cpu off the heatsink, it's like stuck on there as if it was soldered on. I tried heating up the heatsink with a hot blow dryer and it wouldn't budge. But luckily I have another heatsink/fan combo to replace the heatsink that has the cpu stuck on it.
Anyways.. I have no way of knowing my motherboard, but I found out my cpu socket is PPGA478 because my previous cpu was apparently the Intel Celeron D 340. Will a 340J work in a socket PPGA478? Most website list the 340J as a LGA775 cpu, but the ARK Intel page lists "PLGA478, PLGA775, PPGA478".
I was thinking that it would work, but I just needed verification please. Thanks!!
