Moving house - do I need to remove cooler in my PC?

[spudbynight]

I'm moving house tomorrow and my PC is going to be boxed up and moved by the removals company.

It is going to be going into the box the case came in with styrofoam bits around it to hold it in place in the box.

Do I need to remove the cooler? It is an aluminium tower cooler

Yeah, better transporting yourself if possible.

I'm moving country so not unfotunately.

I’m trying to get the cooler off and it won’t budge. I’m actually terrified of breaking the motherboard with the force required to get it off.

How bad an idea would it be to just leave it on?

The issue is I can’t release the clip on the cooler. It is AM4.

I’m going to pack inside the case

What cooler is it?

I would keep trying to remove it and the GPU and also the RAM just to be sure.

it is a silverstone cooler. I don’t have the model to hand now. I’ve packed it up now. I placed packing inside the case in case of it falling off. Hopefully it won’t. It is also now in its box with styrofoam packing to hold it in place.

Fingers crossed now. Thanks for all the input guys.
