So Im trying to take out mb from case but I can't seem to get the CPU connector out and I'm worried I'll break it. Doesn't help that's in a tight spot. These pins normally come with clips to remove right? The PSU is a Corsair rm550x

Have you tried pressing on the clip at the top of the 8pin?

I think it's a 2x4 the part at the front or back?

The one at the very top of the motherboard

Have to squeeze the top of the clip and it will come right out.

 

OR..

 

You can do I the easy way and unplug it from the PSU end and remove the MB pulling the cable through then taking it off when you can reach it better.
