So the other day I (finally) received the AM4 bracket needed to mount my brand new H80i v2 120mm AIO from Corsair. However I couldn't get the pre-mounted Intel bracket off of it AT ALL... which ultimately led to a bad accident where one of the two tubes broke off completely at the pump (RIP)
According to the manual, it's supposed to be as simple as gripping hold of the bracket and giving it a slight turn to get it loose from the "gear", but I cannot for the life of me get it loose. At most it will go about 1mm back and forth, if I rock it. Now that it's basically dead, I have been a LOT more rough with it, and it still won't budge an inch. I've read a few forum threads trying to figure out the problem, that I need to apply some "vertical" pressure as well, but nothing.
So... any Asetek wizards around here, that have experienced anything like this, and might know what I'm doing wrong? Love to get some closure here while I wait for the RMA process.
