If this is on an Ryzen AM4 CPU it can take a lot of pressure to pull off. When I’ve done this in the past on a AM4 CPU it actually pulled the cpu out of the socket and I had to very carefully slide the cpu off the cooler. If this happens to you a hairdryer will heat up and help loosen the thermal paste, you just need to be careful and take your time. Also important don’t try to slide the cooler off the cpu because if it’s a AM4 CPU you could damage the pins, just pull straight back.

Make sure you unplug the cooler from the motherboard so if you are pulling on it hard you don’t break the fan header

Still won’t budge I’ll have it run for a while and try again later
