Yesterday, my Amazon order of an Intel i5 4570 CPU arrived. The packaging was completely crushed, which had damaged my heatsink inside. I'm currently awaiting a free replacement, but it won't be here until next week!
The heatsink has a few bent fins, and the plastic that goes over the fan and around the fins has a split on one part. Would this be dangerous to use?
I really want to be able to use my PC straight away (I'm not very patient), but I don't want to use it and then have the fan fly off, or have plastic breaking apart inside my computer.
What would you suggest?
