Hey All, I just ordered a All in One Phantom 240 (OCUK One) and it arrived very well packaged but I just have a couple of questions I am hoping anyone could help with, first of all the radiator has lots of little dents all over it now I'm not sure if this would effect how it works but just want peoples opinion on wether its worth sending back or its just cosmetic and it won't effect anything hard to get in a picture but you can see the different areas in this picture:

Also where this has been built I was warned it could get air bubbles in the system and I seem to have a couple of rather large bubbles like so:

Just wondering what to do about the air bubbles? and as its an all in one system do I leave it to tun stand alone for anything length of time or just plug it straight to the motherboard?

Any help and what I should do would be great.

Regards

Glacious

* Each Fathom cooling system arrives pre filled but you may find that it requires topping up as the air in the system can move around in transit. We send spare coolant to you with your order so that you can do this before installation.

No issues with the bubbles.

As for the dents it shouldnt make any difference. The air flow is still unrestricted if they were closed over then yes Id make an issue of it. My hardware labs one came with a couple of dents. Blame the idiots that deliver packages :(
 
Not yet its just sitting on my desk, I got quite a few parts to fit in one go so I am waiting for it to all arrive, so basically just run the pump when I come around to it so air bubbles move to the res and then fill up, I should have thought about that lol

Well my stock cooler tried to cool an AMD FX9370 and it got to 70 degrees in bios then shut down so I am hoping this water cooler actually lets me use the new CPU lol
 
Haha I was so overwhelmed when I got my first water cooling kit. (I installed the pump in the wrong direction :( Dont tell anyone :D).

Indeed just run the pump for a little bit and the res will collect the air. Only purpose of a res is bleeding/filling.

Nice choice of cpu I approve :) Where you running prime or something? 70 degrees is rather high even for a stock cooler.
 
I won't tell :P

And I was using a stock cooler for a FX6100 lol that's why it most probably couldn't handle it baring in mind the 6100 was using 90w of power and the FX9370 using 220w lol and no I wasn't running prime it was 70 degrees just sitting in the bios screen :\ then I tried to boot and it just turned off, not surprising with the sort of power and the crappy cooler I tried.
