I faced the same issue with an old laptop. I attempted to use dental floss and somehow cut the adhesive between the CPU and cooler. After roughly ten minutes, I managed to twist and remove the cooler.
These substances don't directly destroy life; instead, they disrupt DNA. Their main problem is their exceptional ability to dissolve materials—even your own body.
Dental floss offers a viable option; consider warming it slightly next time by running benchmarks on the CPU before use.
I experienced the same issue before. I added a bit of rubbing alcohol and waited a few minutes before using a credit card to remove it.
