I bought a Nocuta NH-D15S fan/heatsink and it asks to remove the retention modules by the CPU to install it. The problem is, they feel completely stuck. No amount of force I can muster can unscrew their screws. My screwdriver always just slips out. I've tried several different screwdrivers that should be the same size as the screws but to no avail. I'm going to try the rubberband trick later today and another screwdriver I found, and another one I bought that I know should be the correct size tomorrow.
Does anyone have any tips on removing these screws safely? I don't want to try a new mobo just because I can't unscrew these brackets.
