[SOLVED] CPU Fan stick to mother board

[Jaysrk623]

Hi, so I tried to remove my CPU fan to see if it was the source a loud rattling noise. I unscrewed everything and now it seems to be stuck to the motherboard. It can slide around but I cannot manage to take it off. Motherboard is the b450m and the cpu is the ryzen 5 2600, Any ideas?

If it moves around, it's only vacuum holding it. move it in circles and carefully lift one corner. Helps if it's worm at that time.

u need to stress test the cpu before u want to replace paste of change heatsink if u using bad thremal paste it will stick , it would dmg the cpu if u not do it carefully.
