Intel 1150 cooler stuck to motherboard
All pins unlocked
Plastic top of cooler has come away from metal blades.
Twisted cooler like jam jar left/right hard. Hard to hold onto the blades when twisting.
Heated cooler area with hairdryer no luck.
Tried floss no luck.

Any ideas please ? and I don't care about damaging removed CPU.

Those plastic things on each of the 4 corners, turn those in the direction of the arrow.

Are the rivets in the photo showing the back of motherboard holding this in place ?

These coolers don't require any screws.

Someone mistook the super glue for thermal paste, or this is the worst thermal paste I have ever seen.
someone placed a real paste and not thermal paste there.,

the trick is to remove the cpu latch/lever without damaging the motherboard

Any ideas of how to prize away please without damage ?
a screwdriver for watch may work but practice first on dead motherboard

I have given up. I have tried with force using a small screwdriver to prize upwards but not judging a worried of causing damage. I can unclip the cpu latch. Thanks anyway.

just twist, you cant hurt the cpu or socket on 115x while its latched

This thread is ridiculous, a 5 year old could remove those stock Intel coolers.
