master cooler ml120l questions

[EspinalAndres]

Hi,

I just bought http://www.coolermaster.com/cooling/cpu-liquid-cooler/masterliquid-ml120l-rgb/.

I put it on the back but gpu din´t fit so i put it on the front, please answer all the questions.

 

1- more important question, i bended a little thing on the radiator with the screw, see pictures. I cried and then I did a test with prime 95 for 20 min, max temp was 66 c° (35-40 idle), (see picture). Should I be worried about this bend? I didn´t see any leaks.

 

2- I put the radiator on the front and then the fan on its back aspirating air from it (see attached picture), is this ok? should I changed it?

 

Thank you very much, btw, is an i5 8400 so is only  for aesthetic purposes.

You'll be fine, nothing to worry about. Radiators a usually placed on an exhaust but of it fits best in front you should be fine.

The bends are fine it will just very slightly affect the cooling. You won't notice it. As long as you didn't hit the water pipe it's fine.

1-so the thing i bended does not contain water, where does the water pass through?

2-Are those temps right? no idea what they were with stock cooler.

1. Nope, they're connected to other fins which are connected to the pipes. 

2. Looking at some reviews this seems in line with their results a little high but it might be warm where you are. Nothing to worry about.
