How to Remove Wraith Prism Cooler From a 3+ Years Old System?
You did everything right. Try wiggling more. Don't be afraid, the worst thing that can happen is having the CPU come off together with the cooler, and that doesn't damage the slot.
The stuff AMD uses on those coolers becomes almost like a weld. I had the same issue with a 3700X and it's cooler.
Nothing would work except brute force and straightening a few bent pins afterward.
