For those who have this heatsink, is it crooked when you look at it from the side? :confused:
In this pic it's definitely crooked (which would bug the hell out of me :rolleyes: ).... is that how it is on all systems?

I've got two of them, and they're both straight. There is enough play in the mounting bracket to twist it a little, though.

My BT sits with a small tilt to it, so I don't see anything that could be a problem. :)

This is how mine looked like during install, I have no reason to do anything about it tho as I got a lot better result than expected and I'm so amazed by the temperature, I can't get this A64 SD3700+ any hot regarding volt it seems. :D

Look's like it got something heavy set on teh box causing teh heatpipes to bend.
I wonder if that hinders performance at all?
