im trying to install a liquid cooler and i need to screw the mount into the Mob so i can then screw the pump into the mount simple right just flip the board and place parts flip it back over screw it all in well its not that easy instead of screw the genius manufacturer desided plastic snap pins would be cheaper and i cant get them out to install my pump....what do i do

Okay I looked at the picture, I would possibly take to the under side of the MOBO and pinch the plastic snaps and then gently pull. If at any point in time you think your MOBO is going to be damaged STOP don't FORCE ANYTHING. Just keeps trying to shimmy out the plastic snaps. Just make sure not to damage the motherboard. Without seeing the underside of the mobo with the snaps in that's all I can say for the time being.

iv tried i even tryed to squeez the snaps with pliers they are rounded and too short you cant grip them at all iv also thought about drilling into the top of them but idk i guess ill try to get a good air cooler and maby return the liquid cooler are there any air coolers that i wont make me have mess with this snaps

Any good air coolers require their own back plate too so same thing. They do come off. I've snippedbthem with scissors or melted them with a soldering iron. Really you just need to break the wings off each one. It can be done.

im well aware yo will question my sanity after this question but what about some Mob safe Glue? does that even exist if it does i could just place this possibly fictional substance around the pump in place of screws

its probly better to get a sadder
