The reason I'm asking is because my Wraith Prism cooler currently sits EXTREMELY tight against the CPU. Like, it took a mix of finagling the clip and force to get that thing on. I have replaced it once while cleaning my pc, and it was actually just as hard to get that thing off because of the pressure. I also managed to bend CPU pins because the thermal paste dried onto the CPU (Not sure if that's related). Apparently this pressure is just a design variance issue, and not all are like that.
I'm honestly just worried about accidentally damaging my new CPU upon install (Or future maintenance) because of this. I was hoping to get any thoughts or feedback from someone, or any recommendations for a replacement. I was thinking about getting a Noctua one just because I know they're a reliable name.
Thanks!
Edit: I have an MSI B450 Gaming pro carbon ac motherboard if you're wondering.
