To clarify I went into this curious. Just as an experiment to build some practise. I knew I would kill it in the end and for something as old and cheap as a 2400 I didn’t mind sacrificing it as I was 99% sure it was dead anyway from a crappy motherboard I ripped it out of.
I’m hoping to get to a point where I can perfectly delid at least a couple 10+ year old intel chips and then move to some more modern stuff. Maybe my 14900k in the future when I’m much more confident lol.

Oddly, a pocket knife was all I needed to delid the heatsink on my m2 nvme Samsung 980 pro.
Does anyone know why a processor would bend doing this?

I’d be curious to see if, once you apply the block, it compresses it enough to contact all pins and function.

Can you bend it back with mounting pressure?
