GPU cooler pipe bent...?

[MacWas]

So my R9 380 arrived like this and I was wondering if this will pose problems or if it'll affect performance at all.

no, it won't. Mine has that too, makes no difference

Alright, thanks! Still looks ugly, though... x)

That's a dent, not a bent but it shouldn't hurt performance.

It's not ideal, but if you just got it, i would sent it back.

 

If the card dies while still being in warranty, it's warranty could get rejected because of the dent.

So i wouldn't take a risk and get a replacement one if you can. If you can't, you should still be fine.

Really? Shit. I had 14 days to get it replaced buy I only opened it recently because my other parts haven't arrived yet so it's already been 2 weeks. Oh well. I should be fine, I won't be trying any stupid shit with it so yeah. Let's hope...

Well i think you know as well as i do what kind of a**holes manufactueres can be when it comes to warranty.

But i shouldn't be too worried about it, you should be fine and even if the card dies during warranty you might be fine.
