Was taking apart a friends pc today, this happened.

It took awhile to get that CPU off the cooler.

 

For those wondering it's an FX-6300 and the stock cooler.

Can't really think of anywhere else to put this in as it's not really asking for support or anything, so I put it in off topic.

Current PC build:

=== CPU: Intel Pentium G3258 (Anniversary Edition)  === Motherboard: Asus H81m-PLUS  === RAM: 8gb DDR3 === GPU: GTX 460 (Considering the RX 480) === Case: Corsair SPEC-01 === Storage: 2x 160gb 7200rpm HDD and 1x 500gb 7200rpm HDD === PSU: EVGA 500w === Cooling: Intel Stock Cooling ===

Can't go on Imgur at school, did the CPU get puled out of the socket with the cooler? Check for bent pins before trying to put it back in.

How do you get it out if its locked down in the socket again?

Doesn't look like any of the pins bent luckily.

That's happened too me why too many times, only once have I gotten bent pins from it, I'd recommend some new thermal paste. Some NH-T1 or something.

Well, when trying to pull the cooler off, the CPU also came out. It was locked down though.

Do you have a question or anything? Or are you just wanting to talk about it? Cause if you just wanna talk, I built a friend a computer last week and we put an old (not working) CPU on his case... thermal paste down... And it left a ton of paste on his case. We tried wiping/scraping it off, and now a large chunk of his top of the case is a grey color. Good times!

Don't really have a question. Just wanted to show it, because I really wasn't expecting this to happen. Sucks to be your friend.
