AMD’s AM4 socket is very easy to work with (just drop a processor down, and hit the lever), but as some users have learned, it comes with an annoying drawback: there isn’t always enough tension and security between the processor and socket to prevent the chip from getting stuck to the cooler when it’s being removed!

I think the problem comes with individuals lifting up whilst they twist and then pulling the CPU out of the socket and bending pins at the same time .. We at The Stanford Institute of Smart Thinking and Innovative Thought .. have devised a truly revolutionary tactic to counter the Pull and Twist method.

We call it .. "P.A.T.P.A.T."
Push and Twist .. Push and Twist.

For just a small donation of $49.99 .. we'll send you a FREE pamphlet with authentic hand drawn diagrams to guide you through our most innovative P.A.T.P.A.T. method and how it can truly revolutionize your life!

The push down while twisting method does seem like it would solve that.

This bracket looks like it might mess with tolerance stackups on some coolers.
