Me: "Ok a little wiggle, slow and steady"
CPU: "YEET!"

This video could've been help 3 weeks ago when I pulled my Cpu out and had a heart attack

[BenyBenator]

Such a great idea to warm it up first. I actually pulled my cpu out of its socket once and it gave me a heart attack! Thankfully the CPU had come clean off without damaging pins.

Literally a 2 second answer to the problem. MAKE SURE THE THERMAL PASTE IS HEATED UP BEFORE YOU TAKE IT OFF

[Joeker]

I never knew about turning it on to get it warmed up.

I ripped out my r5 2600
Scared the shit out of me
Thankfully it still works
But wow, didn't know it was this common, at least I know now

I’ve never worked with AMD cpus so I was completely unaware that their sockets lacked a method of locking the cpu into place. Good to know

[PinkyTech]

Good form! also, how can we take a moment to appreciate how even the thermal paste application was there!

Between step 1 and 2 I'd recommend powering down and unplugging the pc.

Bold of you to assume I still have my manual

[HoloScope]

I usually just slide the cooler down to the right and lift it up, way safer as there is still a chance your cpu could get stuck to the cooler by pulling it up, especially if the thermal paste is years old

[sillystevn]

This is actual gold in the useful computer tips department! This probably would work with older CPUs with pins as well!

[rpgamezzz]

It's in the manual!! Gently push down the cpu cooler and twist it left and right and you're done. Just take a few seconds. But no! People always yeet them manual away

Wish i got this recommended an hour before i bent my pins, not an hour AFTER

[RedHaloManiac]

Very important to let it loosen up on its own. Thermal paste likes to slowly release so just because you can’t feel it moving doesn’t mean it isn’t. Good video!

[Bradley_Warren]

Nice thermal paste coverage! Every corner without a giant mess👍👍

The fact that this deserves a video, even of it is a Shorts video, is terrifying.

Here's what I do.
Step One: Turn on PC
Step Two: Open Cinebench
Step Three: Run a couple times and shut PC off during the third test (when its running)
Step Four: Take cooler off and do not touch the metal (or heatpipes if yours has it). The cooler will be pretty toasty but you will definitely not take the cpu out with the cooler.

I always do a 10 minutes stress test from CPU Z and never had any issue

That is if you have the room to twist, my CPU heatsink is pretty much against the VRM heatsink, so no wiggle room
