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!

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.

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
