Quite common for this to happen with chips that have the pins on the cpu rather than the motherboard.

Same thing happened with my R5 1600 lol.

Was about to say the same; I've seen many AMD chips that had the same experience. 

"May your frame rates be high and your temperatures low"

I misread titles/posts way too often--correct me if I don't.

Had that happen with 100% of the AMD CPUs I've ever owned. Didn't matter how old or new the goop was.

Break off your chains

And look what I've found in the dirt.

Seems she was struggling

Something is wrong with this world.

 

Fierce Bloody Angel

The blood is on your hands

Why did you come to this world?

 

Everybody turns to dust.

Pyo.

Is this like you first time ever removing a heatsink or something...?

This pretty much always happens with old AMD computers that use the CPUs with the pins.

I assume so, it was an old office computer a friend of mine used.

That's every consumer AMD chip ever right there. It's only funny until you bend pins or launch the CPU when trying to scrape it loose.

 

In all seriousness, the best way around that is to turn on the PC and let it run in BIOS for a 5-10 minutes. Unless you're dealing with decade-old cement, the thermal paste will loosen considerably as it warms up, and the heatsink will gently slide off much more willingly.

Aerocool DS are the best fans you've never tried.

 

Hypnotoad's RAM is dying, his motherboard is acting like the 6-year-old AsRock it is, a couple of SATA ports have just stopped working, but the RGB remains. The RGB always remains. Hypnotoad lives. All glory to the Hypnotoad.

Yea thats what i did then knocked it off but saving the hardware wasn't that big of a deal.

That's why you should always twist the cpu cooler before pulling it on PGA platforms.
