A picture is worth a thousand words.

I've always broken mine down on the assumption that my buyer wouldn't want to be paying for excess plastics & a heat sink.

Your best bet would be to contact your buyer directly and ask how they want it done. They might vary on that.

It's always fun to run across one of the old gold topped ones. It's definitely not like hitting the lottery but they're worth a few dollars more than the newer ones.

I'm still hoping to run across some crazy eight core processor ......SHA-WING !

thats a nice heavy aluminum heatsink on the right plus 4 pieces of brass on the top pieces....an smd tantalum capacitator on the bottom of the middle picture...thats the only thing i would take off the actual slot processor
