Hey so i am moving in the next days. I will travel with Plane and have my PC in my suitcase (i Took it apart) now i am wondering If my CPU is Safe because i dont have the Stock cooler anymore so Theres nothing over it. Can i Just leave it in the mobo or should i Take it Out?.
 
Solution
If the cpu is secured with lever on the socket, then it isn't going to fall out (unless lever gets released somehow).

Be careful, the lever on that AMD motherboard isn't mean to secure the CPU, it's there to force the pins contact.

I remember when I still use AMD Athlon, I can remove the CPU even with the lever fully locked.

The CPU can only be secured with the heat-sink installed and locked.
