Screws through Corsair cpu cooler radiator fins

[Doubtful]

Has anyone else ever screwed the screws too far and went right through the other side? Will it cause leaks in the short or long term?

Nope, it will not cause the cooler to leak. if the radiator screws somehow pinched the fins a bit, being the screws a little too long, that's fine. It will not affect the cooler's performance either.

+1 on this.

I worried the same and sent mine back and they told me the same.

Few. I saw the title and feared this thread would be someone asking whether they could screw a peltier to the radiator fins.

Yeah, at first, you'd think liquid passes through those fins, but they don't. It's the fine tubes between the fins is where the liquid flows.

Thanks for the replies

Yup, no problem at all
