1600X is....stuck.

[Redliquid]

Hello. As the titel says. Im trying to taken out a 1600x from a gigabyte A320M-DS2

 

But it simply wont come off.

 

I put my nail in under it at one place but my nail will literally break before it comes off.

 

Any Idea what the shit could cause this?

 

I used no Force when i put it in. Simply lined the edge up, it fell in and then lowered the lock.

Let me know if more pictures are needed.

Thanks in forehand...

Didn't know cpu's and motherboards mate for life T_T

When you move the lever, is the cpu socket sliding as well? If not that is the reason why the cpu won't budge... It is still in the tight grip of the socket. 

 

Then you need to find where the socket slides, and try to push it carefully to move and set free the cpu.

I can feel it move slightly back and forth when i push and pull the lever without locking it

keep doing the "lever wiggle" a few times more, eventually this will loosen up the socket.
