I just installed my CPU to my new build and I forgot to put thermal past on it so I went to take the cooler off and it won't come out this is brand new and I didn't even boot up the system yet. Only one of the Heatsink pins comes out the rest are stuck

Turn the pins counterclockwise to unlock them before pulling.There are arrows indicating the rotation.

When installing the cooler, turn the pins clockwise to lock them into place.
