Just heat up your board for 48 hours @ a good low temperature, grab your $80,000 dollar rework station, and try out a new, faster cpu! :) report back here with results. cmon its easy ! Haha.. I believe it just takes more skill set and knowledge about electronics, processors and computers altogether! (not that its impossible to upgrade the cpu..) you just have to lift it off the board at high temperatures .. (It gets all sciencey...)
