Greetings HW enthusiasts,

The motherboard of one of my system is RIP. When I took out the CPU heatsink+fan, it came out with the CPU firmly stuck to the copper!.

I have tried to separate the CPU from the heat sink without much success. I am afraid if I try any solution it might damage the CPU.

Any suggestion to resolve this 'sticky' issue would be much appreciated.
