Assembled a gaming PC for a friend focused on development and play, using a 7800X with a CoolerMaster 212 cooler. Observed high CPU temperatures reaching 95°C, prompting removal of the cooler. Discovered a loose mounting screw on the 212, which caused the head to break off. Attempted to reattach it using superglue but failed. Seeking advice on methods to free the screw without damaging the board.
