I am not using any top fans, no, only front and back (and bottom if we include PSU fan). Thought the vent on top could also help with airflow though, not sure.

How often is kinda like it depends. But I mean, it can happen, my hands aren't always perfectly dry, I might even forget to dry them properly. I try to be careful now, but it can happen.
So, like 10-20% of the case is not under, I can't push it entirely back, but I could push it back some more (and even then, drops of water don't always fall perfectly vertically, so movement of hand can throw them under the desk anyway).
No cloth mousepad, I don't even use a mousepad.
I apparently don't know the difference between IHS and cooler heatsink, no. Looks like, what I meant was IHS.
It's not as much dropping, as just letting go of it from slightly above, since again the socket was in the way, and well, nothing was fried or bent from this (at least the PC booted up fine), but yes, it's not exactly ideal.
And yes, I watched the videos, they did not explain properly, someone actually did, there is a gap in the socket, for your finger to fit in, no one mentioned that, this might be the solution.
Glue or suction cup might work, yes (though with glue, I'd be scared of damaging something if the glue for example grabs something wrong too).
Also, someone mentioned about the gaps on the sides of socket for fingers to fit that I did not know, so that might work too.
So getting the CPU out isn't as much of an issue, as it is getting the CPU out without bending/damaging the pins. I can turn the MB upside down, and get it out, or slowly drag the CPU to the side or like you say, try to put something under it.
I want to be as gentle as possible though.
Ah, I didn't know this, thank you. I can try from this when I want to remove it and see how it goes.
So the top part, the "heatsink" part, I can grab it by that, but the grip is bad and I can't take it out (at least not without rapidly grabbing it and pulling it to the side out of the socket), and I don't want to touch those electronics under it (as shown in your picture).
I can't really grab it by the sides with fingers, I could perhaps with tweezers, but too afraid those could scratch something in the process.
A small suction cup might work as someone else mentioned though, but don't have that.
That's the thing, I have kinda watched videos, but as weird as it sounds, I can't grab the CPU by the sides. There is no hold on it, the CPU is literally surrounded by the socket.
So I might be missing something, but it's not these. I built this PC from parts, so I know all these steps.
I would post a picture, but honestly, the PC is built and in the case right now. I might want to swap the motherboard soon though (and last time I tried removing the CPU from this motherboard, I faced this issue and gave up), which is why I am asking.
MSI B650 Gaming Plus WIFI is the motherboard, it sounds weird yes, it sounds like there shouldn't be something surrounding the CPU, but the CPU literally goes in the "hole" and is surrounded by it.
Yes, my last attempt was before putting the PC together, now I might want to swap the motherboard soon, which is why I want to know how to take the CPU out (cause last time I tried, I faced the issue I described).
Thank you. Yes, I know this, I put the PC together, so I know all the steps you describe here.
Thing is I can't post a picture right now, cause the PC is assembled and in the case, but I might want to take it off soon. You can look up the motherboard, MSI B650 WIFI Gaming Plus.
When I do all this (and this is when I wanted to take it off back then), I can't really grab the sides of the CPU, the CPU is in the hole in the socket, surrounded by the socket.

Hmm, I don't think they would die without hugs or communication. Nothing in the link exactly says they would die too, aside from some questionable sources from hundreds of years ago.
A human body would be able to biologically survive without hugs and communication (or even higher brain function honestly if you manage it properly).
