I just slightly press on it and wiggle it left-right for a few times and that seems to help with loosening up. never tried to do it while also heated up like other anons are recommending. so I might do that as well next time.
The trick is usually running the CPU at 100 percent for half an hour or something before you remove it.
This has happened to me too, even if I did that. It happens once in a while. You got to use a hair dryer or something to get it loose.

Any halfway decent thermal paste won't dry out like that just because it's cold, even after many years
Also, lots of shit thermal paste turn into a concrete-like substance that stays dry even if you run the CPU at 100 percent for some amount of time, when they get old. That's why you'll want to change it in the first place. Common in cheap prebuilt PCs from generic brands.
Saw plenty of it and had to scrape lots of CPUs from heatsinks during the time I worked as a field tech support monkey.
Hello dollfriend, haven't used this board in quite some time but nevertheless I'm glad to see your dolls having a good time
Next time run your PC for a bit and it'll help the CPU not stick, tearing it off like that could bend the pins!
I thought you could just twist it in the socket to break the cpu free but that shit doesn't work at all. The thermal paste AMD uses on their stock coolers may as well be super glue, its ridiculous.
Heat it up before removing.
I guess it's technically possible if you removed the retention bracket prior to installing the CPU. There's literally no way you accidentally do that, though.

You use a hairdryer usually. Then clean it up with isopropanol.
Biggest issue is that it gets a bit hot, so you need to use gloves when doing it. You can probably fry your cpu too, but I've done it a couple of times with no issues afaik.
rotate before pulling you dumb b***h
>pins form a crop circle
I grabbed a flathead screwdriver, rolled a tissue on the tip and pulled from underneath. Went ok.
Took some funny pics n got my ram running properly at 3200. It actually happened this morning, but I wanted to shitpost about it 🙂

what's with the creepy dolls
they make the work i'm computer iliterate
based dollchad
>now let's see them do it naked
reminds me of that image of miniature anime girls working on a motherboard. i thought I had it saved, but I don't. can someone post it
are there more
idk its the only one I have
thanks anone this goes into my teche-girl/g/y collection
adhesion, shouldve ran it for a bit before gorilla Black person moron ripping it off the board
>doesn't use their hair dryer to heat up the thermal paste before removing the heat sink

Is that a fat PS3 in the background of this image of expertly manicured nails and ill fitting clothes with a shitty AMD CPU glued to a heatsink.
thats the side of a TV
I see it now, that right portion is a shadow. I miss mine and it is effecting my judgement.
Op is 200% a moronic homosexual. YWNBAW
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO CHUDDETTE DONT PUT YOUR FINGER IN THERE NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Looks like it's hair dryer time boys.

what the hell type of CPU doesn't have one of those lever-lock mechanisms that hold it in place?
Thank you for reminding me why I stopped using this board
yet you're still here
that is a bare CPU you moron, what happened to the load plate?
Only in this thread with dollfriend and once this thread dies I will be once again gone
There is no "load plate" as such for Ryzen CPUs. There is a lever etc, but it's much less significant than that.
at least look at the correct CPU.
... they have? It's the complete regular socket. You just drag it out if you use too much force.
The same thing has happened to me twice.
You should've twisted, anon.
Wait, wtf? Ffs, it's goddamn hilarious. Didn't know this one, thanks. Any more IQfy moments?
stock cooler is still pretty good, not much has changed in 20 years

>y would it do that
Thermal paste dried out.
cute girly hand, anon~

cooler heads?
Is the CPU fine? How do you even separate them? How to clean them from the crusted shit?
You use a hairdryer usually. Then clean it up with isopropanol.

I don't have either.
