This may be a stupid question, but I'm out of options. I recently purchased this processor and found it to be running a little hot. I put this down to incorrect placement on the fan.

Anyway, I'm having trouble removing it, I unlocked the pins, but the pins have all clicked down and force doesn't seem to bring them back up. Any suggestions, it's a real pain?

Yeah I did turn them and pull, but they don't see to give, had to stop pulling cause it felt like I was on the verge of breaking the motherboard.

I'll try removing the montherboard and removing it from the back.
