Noctua NH12U cooler slightly angled

Melodist · Aug 7, 2017

So... I've just installed my new Noctua Cooler and thought "just stop my OCDing, which led me to buy another Noctua cooler and just install it calmly, don't take so much over-care". Well, and after the installation I noticed it is not perfectly in the middle and slighty angled / shifted. I'm telling you I'm about to cry

I thought the mounting system would take care of that?

Take a chill pill or anti-OCD pill and relax. The airlfow is all wonky anyway.

Haha yeah, but shouldn't it automatically align due to the mount? Or is there a small area of adjustment I have to align myself?

It's been awhile sense I mounted one but I thing there is a little 'wiggle room' between play in crossbar over cooler base and hole clearance in motherboard and mounting holes. Doesn't take much to make cooler look a little out of alignment, especially for us OCD folks.
