If the radiator on my Corsair H55 has a hole in it from my screwing it in too hard, is it broken? The hole is literally right where the screw is supposed to come out, i see pieces of aluminium it looks like so i assume that means i broke it?

The vertical lines are tubes, the zig zaging things are the fins. As long as your screw didn't damage the vertical lines, it is fine.

I am not sure what you mean by putting the fan on top and on bottom.
This is an ideal installation:

Hi, thanks for the quick response.

I am trying to post a picture to further explain but i dont know how... Do you know where the tubing is located on the H55? Also is there a way i can test it without plug it in and turning it on? The help is much appreciated !

One more thing, is it really bad if i dont have the fan on-top or on the bottom of the radiator? I have a Corsair 450D and it said the H55 would fit but unfortunately, my mobo which is an Asrock Z87 k1ller's cpu socket is right in the way so i can't put the fan on top of the radiator, is that fine?

Thank You! And what i meant about the fan is you see how there is a fan behind the radiator, i can't fit mine that way because the CPU socket on the mobo is right in the way if i had the fan on first then the radiator.
