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
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!
