Whilst moving my rig into a new case the other day, I noticed that the pipe at the top of the cooler were damaged. I'm not sure if it maybe melted or if I damaged them whilst cleaning it to put into my new case.

The above images show this, it looks like they've been squashed with a pair of pliers or something. You can't really so in the photos but 2 of them are squashed so much that I'm pretty sure the metal is touching on the inside of the pipe.

So my question is, will this affect the cooling performance of my Hyper 212 Evo? If it does then I may have to buy a new one (been using this one for almost a year).
