Hi i am wondering if it is okay to have my aftermarket cooler a little bit crooked, because i see that it is not straight? Will it affect my temps? The cooler is cooler Master 212 hyper plus.

make sure it is screwed in, run some benchmarks and check temps. If your temps are good then you should be OK

Well my bios show that my cpu temp is 35c at 3.9ghz at idle. And i did make sure to screw it in well.

it should be ok then, keep in mind that the temps in the BIOS are not really idle temps, Ive heard that the bios puts the full voltage to make sure that the PC will boot.

do some research and see if your temps are about the same as others temps, also make sure you take ambient temperature into account. If your temps are about the same as others with a similar/same setup then you are good to go. If you are really worried then redo the heatsink and make sure you remove the thermal paste with isopropyl alcohol and coffee filters, and use the dot method for thermal paste.
