I had been trying to install the Corsair H75 cpu liquid cooler for over an hour now, everything was going fine until it came to screwing those knobs on the stand off screws to hold them down. I got fustrated and then went to look at corsairs installation guide on how to do it correctly, I then saw that he was using different coloured stand off screws on his machine for the Intel 1155 socket then me, he was using sliver and I was using grey. I then realised that I had been using the AMD Stand off screws and that's why the knobs wouldn't screw all the way down. I then tried removing them so I could replace them but now I'm unable to unscrew the AMD standoff screws from my motherboard, this means I'm unable to do anything that involves my computer until I'm able to get the removed, what should I do? How can o remove the screws? Please help :(
 
Solution
get some pliers and gently unscrew them. I'm assuming they are hex shaped and should come out with pliers. Be careful next time
