I have a question that I am clueless on, so I am currently building a computer and when I put my cpu fan on the motherboard, i couldn't get it on right away, then I took it off and the cpu was stuck to it! I tried not to panic and I just set the fan upside down on the table with the cpu stuck to it, i reasearched and I couldn't find anything that worked, someone said that I should try and use a credit card or similar and I tried and nothing worked! Please help!
 
Solution
There is a few things you should try. First thing I usually try is heating it then twisting, obviously don't touch the underside of the processor. If that doesn't work try some string or dental floss. Lastly try using some 90-95% alcohol solution to loosen if you cant manage to get it off with the techniques above.
