Be careful not to bend any CPU pins when you lift your CPU cooler. If you’re planning on removing your CPU, (CPU can be stuck with the heat sink) before all this, just run some CPU intensive tasks to heat up your CPU a little bit. That should help 😊

If you look closely, you can see two bent pins. If it ever comes to this point you can use a small needle to bend the pins back into place. But if you’re careful enough, you can avoid being in this situation.
