Cooler Master 212 EVO not perfectly aligned?

[bernards]

Hello, I just installed a Cooler Master 212 EVO for my AMD FX-8320, at boot I'm seeing better temperature than before and it's WAY quiter than the stock one.

I just noticed (after putting everything together, sigh) that the base of the heatsink is not perfectly aligned with the CPU, it basically moved down a little (I guess because it's so heavy). We're talking about 2-3 mm down, not a whole lot, and the temperatures are way better than okay, so... do you think I should put it on better or am I okay like this?

Thanks!

If your temps are fine I would not worry about it as long as it is installed correctly and will not fall off you should be fine.

Yeah as long as its not going to fall off the only part of the CPU that it really needs to be touching the the middle so if its hanging off a tad you should be fine.
