CPU fans slightly off centre?

[zoog18]

Hello, I recently installed my Noctua NH-D14 and when I closed my PC case (it has a window) I noticed that I had attached the fans to the cooler slightly off centre, is this ok? (As I don't want to have to remove the cooler to fix them)

As long as they aren't so far off-center to hinder cooling, it should be fine.

Is around 5mm too much?

No. The air is still passing through and/or around the heat sync, isn't it?

Going by your description, I don't see it being an issue. But if you want to post a pic of the situation, it may help things.
