Zerotherm Nirvana is stuck in my GIGABYTE EX-38 DS4. 3 of the screws into the backplate come out, but the 4th one is stuck. The grove in the backplate holding this screw moves along with the screw, so the screw does not move out.

So the cooler and cpu are embedded in this mobo forever now :twitch: 😡

Wat to do now ?
 
wait what? im having trouble picturing this exactly. thus far every backplate i have seen has been the same for a S775 cooler. could you provide a picture of what you mean so i can figure out a fix?

One of these is more attacked to the screw and less to the backplate.
