I was removing the CPU cooler when the CPU became stuck to it and came off together.

ahh why this happened to me :(

tried to straighten bent pins but
not sure if it will work again.

@hyeyoo My wee brother had that happen to him recently w/ an AMD CPU, it's a fairly common mistake. Unfortunately you've got to twist off the cooler on pre-AM5 stuff.

@conor it was totally unexpected accident, a lesson learned worth $500 🥲

@hyeyoo We straightened out the couple of pins on my brothers & it's been working fine since.
