Hello, I bought some components to put together my first gaming PC and selected the CM 212 EVO for a cpu fan. It arrived a couple days ago and I just took it out of the box and looked it over. I'm kind of worried because on the copper heat pipe mount (where it contacts the cpu) there's a pock-mark about the size of a grain of rice. It stands out pretty clearly from the machined finish of the rest of the mounting surface.
I don't think the heat pipe is actually cracked, there is a scratch in where the mark is a little deeper it but it looks like it's still structurally sound. The defect is right on the edge of the mounting surface, half under the plastic "peel off before you attach" thing.
How worried should I be? Has anybody else ever seen anything like this?
Picture: (it should be pretty obvious what I'm talking about)
