Did you post the same thing on www.overclockers.com.au?

Anyway, that problem probably occured because there was too much of a vacuum created when you pushed the CPU pins into the thermal grease. So removing it proved a problem and caused you to break the pin.

Next time use di-electric grease. If you need to remove the chip again, try heating it up a bit with a hair dryer to help with removal.

Cheers
