    Good reminder to heat up the CPU before trying to remove the cooler.

    If you need the CPU removed, try with some dental floss. Be careful with the pins.

    I would like to add that the thermal paste is basically gone

    Loosing you CPU while cleaning your PC must be the most pcmasterrace thing ever

    Did you accidentally use adhesive instead of thermal paste

    Well… now you dont have to re-apply thermal paste eh?

    I removed the cpu in same situation by heating it up with a hair dryer for a bit and twisting it carefully.

    that’s why you always turn your pc on for a bit before changing the cooler, should be easy to remove tho happened to me a few times when i wasn’t patient

    The first ever processorless experience.

    I prime95 for 10-20 mins before removing, then gently twist back and forth & it comes off no problem.
