I get you. I actually tried to rock it on a table yesterday and it seemed to not rock at all. But given the incompatibility with the motherboard I bought a new one just to be perfectly safe.

Well i tried it and the heatsink doesn't fit as it is missing the rifht adapters. I at least salvaged the fan and bought a new heat sink. I've updated the post. Thanks for your comment.

Hi, thanks for your comment. I tried to installed to see how well it fits and found out the heat sink is missing adapters for my board so it can't be attached. I ordered a new one immediately after that. I've updated the post with this conclusion. Cheers!

Does it? By the looks of it it seems flat. But thanks for you comment. You got me concerned and in the end I bought a new one just to be sure. I updated the original post. Cheers

I haven't tried to install it yet, but the pad itself looks intact and from the looks of it I suppose the contact will be ok and the tower will be tilted. Today I'll probably try to install it so I'll let you know.

Bent cooler pad (self.buildapc)

Hi guys, I got this second hand NOCTUA NP-U12P SE2 heatsink and unfortunately the CPU pad is kinda "bent" or rather not aligned. I tried to gently rotate it back, but it is stuck alright. Have anything like this ever happen to any of you? Should I leave it as is or try more to level it? Do you think it will somehow impact the performance? Any suggestions are welcome. Cheers

edit: I hope this is the right community. If not, feel free to delete this post.

Edit 2: Thanks everyone for your comments. The consensus is this thing is trashed. In the end I ended up buying a new one. Mostly because of your comments and definitely because the damn thing is missing the right adapters and can't be attached to my motherboard xD
