Is this radiator OK?

I just noticed in some of the side areas of a new rad (Black Ice Nemesis 360GTS) that the fins are a bit buckled (see photo below). Is this a problem, or will it not affect performance at all?

Pic aint working, you can straighten the fins out if you like.

Picture not working for me fella.

If it's just a few bent fins it won't make a difference. You can always just bend them back to

Updated pic link. What's best to bend them with?

Just leave it. Literally nothing to be gained what so ever.

I wouldn't have blinked myself unless they were bent 90 deg at the end which can happen if handled.

Won't impact performance and may actually help with agitation and heat dissipation

Thanks, good to know!
