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.

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 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
