H100i fin damage

[Marc_92]

Hello, Ive just bought the h100i from my local pc store and there is some damage to a few of the fins on the rad. Do you think it is worth going back to them and seeing if they can replace it or just live with it.

Here is a link to the damaged fins

thanks

Those fins are fine, considering the amount of fins being bent are very few, that will not affect the cooler's performance at all. Best to keep the cooler, it's not worth going through the hassle of replacing it.

Yeah, I took it back to the shop and they said it would be fine. The only thing I was worried about was the possibility of a leak but they explained that the water doesnt run as close as i thought it would. Thanks though.

Exactly what the store said, water just runs around and in between the radiator fins, not through the fins
No problem
