Dont worry peerzy boy, its as easy as. Just make sure you are careful unlocking the heatsink clip (use a screwdriver but watch it doesnt slip) and ground yourself on the case first in case you touch anything.

u forgot that he will need some thermal compound to replace the used thermal pad. you cant put the processor on with a used thermal pad or teh cpu temps will skyrocket.

The chip is brown/creamy i think, its hard to tell because of the massive heat sink.

here are some pictures that may help...

Can&#39;t see the chip from those shots. By definition it has to be covered by the heatsink. The only chance you&#39;ve got of seeing the colour of the chip without removing the heatsink is from the side, and with a very bright lamp.
