Maybe I have been lucky but I haven't had a CPU or motherboard die on me from that situation yet and I have been there more than a handful of times. How did you remove the Noctua? Did you lift it straight off or did you pull it to one side? Were there any bent pins on the CPU? A credit card can be a great thing to straight out pins at times. If there are pins that were left in the socket when the CPU came out, then more than likely the CPU is toast. Most sockets do survive CPU's being ripped out unless the socket came with it. Did the socket come off with the CPU?

Hi MichaelGivens.
You just remove the screws or however the heatsnk is attached and carefully remove it, the cpu is held in place with the latch, it won't come out until you unlatch it.
