CPU Fan unable to remove?

[Heff]

I have a standard cpu cooler and am looking to replace my cpu but I can’t for the life of me remove this damn cooler. Screws are too fiddly. Am I missing something or is really this hard?

Have you tried looking for videos for the specific cooler you have?
Normally, youve got 4 screws pinning the heatsync to the CPU.

Are you upgrading through PCS? they would replace the chip for you that way?

And also, have you checked with PCS and informed them that you're doing this? Just because Terms and Conditions state...

We reserve the right to suspend the warranty or refuse service if your Case, Motherboard, CPU or BIOS have been replaced without authorisation.
Any tampering, repair or modification by unauthorised personnel voids the warranty.

Wouldn't want you to lose your warranty!

Would you need to remove the cpu to install a cooler ?
