I've just had this delivered earlier today (loose in a larger box with the rest of my bundle + gpu etc.).

Slightly miffed at the damage :(. Hard to see from the photos but there are several sections where the radiator has been squashed down by other loose items ( probably the loose fans) within the box. No outer box around the radiator.

Is this likely to have an impact on the radiator and how/how much?
 
Not a big impact, but make sure that pipes haven't been punctured anywhere before you plug it in.
Bes to do flush the rad using your kitchen sink, at high pressure and see for drops of water. If there are any forming, I would return it asap.
Where did you get it?
 
It's the OcUK TechLabs AIO radiator & pump (Asetek 591LX) so it's not anything I can flush to test.

It was part of the Defcon 2 X99 bundle. I've posted a message in the Shop thread when I was picking the parts. I will wait and see what reply I get and will probably raise a ticket to get it returned/replaced tomorrow.

I'll follow up in the morning. Shame as I had pretty much the whole of tomorrow off work and was planning to put everything together :(. Won't be able to do that now until the weekend.
