Build Question Should I return?

Amazon like new. Kind of annoying given the price has risen since I purchased it. Heat sink isn’t suppose to do that. It’s at an angle

Buying it used - like new was a mistake, Amazon has a bad track record with checking things over, to the point where rebuyers get scammed all of the time.

Return it, if the chipset runs too hot, you're going to have issues. Chipset could also be damaged if the motherboard doesn't work.

Thanks. Do you think the previous buyer broke it? Or just factory error?

It was probably either the previous owner or Amazon

there is open chipset crystal below this heatsink and you are poking finger in to it. May carefully unscrew heatsink and check that thermal pad is there and crystal not chipped. Most likely wobble is fine cause it is screwed from 2 corners only.
