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...
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
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!
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.
