Bent Fin on A Heatsink

Zziggy00 - Dec 1, 2004

		I'm in the process of building a new PC and during the shipping process there must have been something that put some pressure on a heatsink on the motherboard... If you look at the picture it's one of the fins on the heatsink surrounded by the red circle... It's not bent badly, I could try and bend it back, but you bend metal too many times and *snap* So do you think I could just leave it and be fine? ** THIS IS NOT AN ACTUAL PICTURE, on actual board one of the corner fins is slightly bent...

		I wouldn't worry about it. You've still got the same surface area disipating heat.

		can't see how it would be a problem

		It won't hurt it at all, had a similar problem before.
