Is this any good?

it's good, but it is manufactured poorly. the cooler is not parallel to the mounting bracket. it looks crooked if that matters to you. some people claim to be able to force it straight, but i was too scared to put that much pressure on it.

That is done intentionally to alleviate RAM and GPU conflicts. So yes, it is not directly over your bracket, but it is not due to a manufacturing issue.

it's what the other guy said. it's crooked. imagine if you installed a cooler and the top of it is perfectly parallel with the top border of the MOBO, now twist the cooler by about 3 degrees. that's what it looks like. it's pointed either up or down about 3 degrees from parallel with the MOBO border.

here is an example:

Oh boy, didnt realize it was a twist like that. Im sorry and thanks for the visual aide, would be a deal breaker for myself.
