Bendy fins on this new AIO cooler I bought two days ago. Is this a major issue?

I was just unboxing my Gamerstorm Castle 240 RGB V2 that I bought 2 days ago as I am building second ever PC. There are clearly visible bendy fins on the radiator.

Please see: https://i.postimg.cc/yNBxQ3R4/IMG-20210623-233721.jpg

This is a cheaper aio. Replacing it will be a huge hassle for me. I like the design and i know this aio is very scarce in my country's market right now. My question is: how huge of a problem is the bendy fins if they are a problem in the first place? Will these bends cause problem in terms of heating?

If it isn't an issue at all, I would like to keep the cooler. If it poses any significant problem, I will take actions to get a replacement immediately.


Thanks in advance for helping.

Yeah I doubt you'd even notice anything but those can be easily straightened if you're worried about aesthetics.
