So I bought this BeQuiet! Shadow Rock Slim on eBay...the seller claimed it was new, and it appeared to be by the look of the box and film at the base. But wait!
I got a refund as the seller was unaware and it didnt make sense to pay the shipping back (US back to Canada). I tried opening a case with BeQuiet! support but obviously that didn't work as I didn't buy through an "authorized dealer."
My question is, have you seen a cooler defect like this?
Do you think it's still usable? Maybe not for the rated 160W, but what about say for 80W class? I wonder if the liquid inside the heatpipes has leaked out...
I see that the fan is a nonstandard 136x136mm with nonstandard mounting points on the frame, what can I do with it?
