Was trying to upgrade my stock cooler but it wasn't budging, after 5 mins of cpu stress test to warm it up, still managed to pull the chip out with it. No bent pins thankfully but the PC was on as I was running the stress test. Did I do any damage to my pc by having the cpu ripped out while stress testing? Lol
On another note, I'm still trying to extract the chip from the cooler using thin pry tools and stuff like that but it still isn't budging. It feels like it's super glued or something (I've replaced dozens of coolers and never seen this). Should I just attempt to put the whole unit back in (hopefully without bending pins) and just live with the stock cooler?
