Hi. Although I have sought advice from this site for a couple of years now, today I became a member and want to ask my first question. It involves the new Corsair H100i liquid CPU cooler I just received from Newegg.
I removed it from the box and inspected all of its contents carefully. Everything is in order, but on close examination I see that there are two spots in which the radiator fins are bent. One area is very small, with only about three fins slightly bent. The other area is a bit larger -- a rectangular shape about 3/8 inch long -- with approximately six fins bent in almost flat.
I am a disappointed to receive my item with blemishes on it. If this is only an aesthetic issue, and will not effect performance in any way, I may decide to keep it so as to begin using it soon. But if it could raise any other issues, I should send it in for an exchange.
This is the first time I will be installing and using a liquid CPU cooler. So, if someone can tell me how much of a problem this is, I would appreciate it.
Thanks
