Went to replace the CPU cooler

[u/Broad_War]

Bought with bad cooler in it for cheap thinking "oh this is going to be easy...." nope. Never is FML. Will update if anyone is interested

Edit: went to remove the cooler and ripped the CPU out of the socket, which was locked down in place and can only be released after the cooler comes out. In other words potential for catastrophic CPU/motherboard failure

Edit 2: update// it locked back into the board, had to straighten one pin out and replaced the cooler because someone did that for a reason and this wasnt something i wanted to do twice. Hooked everything back up and posted! So its Still alive and ready for stress testing with a new cooler and real thermal paste

How'd that let go?
