sorry if this wasnt the right forum
I just bought a new AMD phenom ii processor and I was about to place it into my computer when i noticed the heatsink (large silver cube under the fan) was fused to the processor and did not twist off or any other method i tried. Is it impossible to replace processors on prebuilt? can i just pull the processor and heatsink out of the socket without damaging it? (i have the new processor, heatsink and fan)
