So my cousin asking me help installing his new CPU cooler, i never Done tower cpu cooler, i feel anxious,
What iam afraid is always when doing tighten the screw, my other cousin broke his motherboard pin, dont know how, but presumably when his overtightened his AIO,

So back to my problem, pc installation is kinda straight forward right at this age, , there is no way a cpu cooler crooked or something
Or suddenly bent my motherboard because it looks heavy, or i just overthinking

The CPU is Am4, and the cpu cooler is assasin 4

If you mount the cooler incorrectly you may get bad temperatures.

How did the CPU cooler install go? Do you think you broke something?

The pc is working, temp looks fine but i kinda feel the cpu cooler is not align well, not symmetrical with the case, there is no way right, must be my imagination

if its throttling, or core temps are more than 10c apart

I mean when we tighting the screw, the cooler body / heatsink body will be adjusted correct location automatically right, i just finished installing it together till 03am, iam gonna go to sleep first

depends on the cooler mounting

212/+/evo/black can be turned 5-10º and stilled be installed correctly

if it uses the default am4/5 mounts it can be turned quite a bit and still be ok
