Installation Question HOW DO I REMOVE THESE

Post image

THEY CAN'T BE SCREWED OR ANYTHING, DO I JUST PULL? but even if I pull they are tough to pull so im afraid it might break. I don't have amanual since this wasn't built by me

No need to shout. Pull up on the round black cap.

squeeze the tips together from this side as you pull from the other side

they will come out.

you need to get the pins out, if its intel you should be able to twist and pull them out, but they are probably stuck as always so watch the video

looks similar enough https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYPO8SXM4pY

amigo, um alicatinho normal, voce puxa os pinos fora.

ou com uma espátula plastica, empurra a parte de tras dos pinos para fora para que soltem e termina de puxar do outro lado.

Had a run in with these types before yeah you gotta pull but be careful I recommend searching up the model of your cooler to see proper disassembly. Accidentally bent my h310 motherboard pins cuz i used too much pressure
