Should I be concerned (cpu cooler)

[marcusg83]

I recently built a new computer and i installed my cpu cooler (hyper 212 evo)

and oce my motherboard was installed into my case i needed to finish everything, anyway i was installing some fans and i hit my cooler. (not very hard) and it ended up rotating clockwise a very small amount. what im trying to get at is, is it okay for it to be able to move a little bit? it doesnt move if i dont touch it. and my computer is running fine so i wasn't sure if it was a big deal. i ran prime 95 to see the temps and the highest i got to was about 59degrees c and it's running at 50degrees right now with p95 running.

the processor is an i5 4670k @ 4Ghz

Thank you!

As long as you did not bend anything, the worst that you could have done is messed with the thermal compound a bit. It does not seem like you are overheating, so I think you are okay.

If you're super-paranoid, and are wondering if you might get better results, go ahead and re-apply the thermal compound.
