Got myself an AM4 mounting kit for my NH-C14 cooler and finally proceeded to pull the board out to swap the stock cooler ... but the cooler was firmly stuck, even with the screws taken off, which i found quite odd.
Applied a little more force and, to my disbelief, the CPU got yanked right out of the socked (which was locked, obviously) and it's still stuck to the cooler.
Several concerns:
1 - did i damage the board?
2 - did i damage the CPU?
3 - how do i unstuck the CPU from the cooler?
There don't appear to be any bent pins on the CPU.
I've removed many coolers (replaced TIMs and / or CPUs) but this is the 1st time this has happened to me and, frankly, i'm concerned i've borked my new AM4 system![Frown :( :(](https://tpucdn.com/forums/data/assets/smilies/frown-v1.gif)
Help?
EDIT
#3 is fixed already: managed to separate the cooler from the CPU.
