All, just opened my TT Flow 360 AIO. The radiator has damage to about 10 of the fins. Two of them seem badly smashed in, to the point where they change color a bit. 

 

Does liquid flow through these fins? If so I would be concerned of a leak. Tell me what you think.

In picture 1 I can't tell if the fin ripped off of the pipe or if the fin ripped a hole in the pipe.

All other pics look good.

This isn't normal if you bought it new, I would RMA it.

Should be fine, but if the tubes (skinny and in-between the fins) are puncture or damaged in any way. It will most likely leak.

With bent fins you can correct them(It does happen, it also depends how well the radiator is packaged). The tubing runs through the sides. Usually above the fan screw holes. Only issue would be if pins were smashed in which would result in blocked air flow.

 

You can always touch it up with some paint.
