I was looking through my bin of old PC parts, and I found a Pentium 4 CPU in it with bent pins. I'm in Boy Scouts, and we're going to make personalized neckerchief slides in a few weeks. Me being one of the more computer knowledgeable ones, I decided to use this. For it I obviously need to remove the pins. What is the best way to do this?

Thanks in advance,

Colin

I'd have to say pulling them out then grinding them nubs down with a dremel.

You could put a ink pin over one pin at a time and wiggle one by one in ti'll all the pins fall off

Really fine pliers. Or you could use some really pointy snips and snip each pin off then grind down the remaining bits
