c-attack Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Usually you can find one or two. A whole row like that is something else. It likely has no impact on performance on the edge there, but you might still exchange it for peace of mind. That does constitute physical damage.

I will be running it with a brand new 5950X and I don't want to burn it due to a malfunction of this component Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-attack Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 There is not likely to be any measurable cooling difference because of the location of the bent fins. More centrally located would be something else. It's also not going to leak. There isn't a water channel on that edge exactly there. However, this like buying a new car and then finding a huge scratch down the side. It doesn't really affect how the car functions, but it is disappointing all the same. For that large of a dent, I would send it back as long as it does not cost you a lot to exchange it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
