Damaged CPU cooler HELP

[vinnyfraser]

I think I somehow damaged my new CPU cooler.... Do you think I should take it out or does it look fine?

No, it's perfectly fine, that's how it's supposed to be.

So some of the tubes are suppose to be bend at the end?

My guess is that it has to do with how they manufacture the heat pipes.

but that doesnt look right.

What a relief!!! But just to make sure... how can i tell if it's starting to fail? Keep checking temps well gmaing with Specy?

Have you seen anything like this before?

The manufacturing process causes those crimps at the end of the heatpipes. It's a relatively simple device, so I guess if temps go out of hand it's failing, but it's most likely the fan that will fail, if ever.

Do you know this for sure? And what is good software to monitor temps? Preferably have the options to have it overlay my game.

That's normal.Even the noctua's heatsink are like that.

It's fine it won't do anything...as long as the pipes on the bottom aren't damaged its fine.

Yep, when the copper is sealed, one end of the pipe shrivels in while the other is crimped. That is why half look like a crayon head and the others look smashed

I've had my hyper 212 since 2010, it looked like that out of the box, and it cools perfectly fine.

im not very familiar with heatsinks honestly but i doubt its gonna cause any issues since it is a passive cooling device.
