Question cpu broken?? fan took it out

[kgod]

so i had to take everything off my mobo to get it fixed and i needed to take a cpu off. wouldnt come off so i twisted it a bit and realized the thermal paste was making it stick so i tugged on it. cpu and cpu fan came out and i had a mini heart attack. nothing seems bent/broken so would it be okay?? just wondering because its my first pc and it scared the life outta me

If you are referring to a AMD cpu yes this is possible. Remove the CPU from the heatsink/fan and if there are no bent pins you should be able to reinstall the cpu with new thermal paste and reinstall the cooler.
