How do I ship an AM2 CPU?
Avoid damaging them by using a small light foam block. Place the CPU gently inside and wrap everything together. If foam isn't available, cut a square hole in cardboard matching the processor size, attach another piece behind it. Let it dry, then secure the CPU into the hole with tape and a final cardboard layer to hold it in place before shipping. Foam is simpler, but cardboard also works effectively.
Obtain a dishwashing sponge or foam material, or even an old used sock (wash it first) and wrap the CPU inside the sock. Then place the CPU in a sturdy cardboard or plastic container, such as a DVD box. Position the CPU near the center and secure it with wood or cardboard spacers to prevent crushing.
