Hi,
Not so long ago, I purchased the i7-8700K and was looking forward to a new high-end build. Unbelievably, the CPU has bent on one side after installing the Corsair H115i Pro RGB. I didn't use any excess force, installed the processor using the standard cross formation and I can't believe a small pump could have done this to the CPU.
The pictures are not for the faint-hearted and I'm gutted this has happened. I know Skylake had some issues with bending but still, this shouldn't happen.
The item was bought from Overclockers, and I'm interested if there's anything that can be done. I'm guessing ntel wouldn't RMA it as there's physical damage and it's my word against theirs.
Argh, guessing I'll have to fork out a lot of money to get a replacement.
