Yes you will have to remove it. Be very careful though.

Ya it needs to be removed.....those pins are very easy to bend. A credit card works nicely to realign them if you manage to bend any.

Hi

I would ask seller for their advice before removing it.

there is a square in middle of underside of Intell cpu which has a few components but no pads for pins in socket so does no harm.

Personally I would always buy a Intel boxed cpu because it comes with an Intel guarantee and good quality packaging with no chance of it getting zapped by static when taken out of tray and put in packaging.
