Should I RMA this?

[Seep]

I recently got a fan controller, and one of the heatsinks was somewhat bent.

Just the top strip is bent, it's touching the strip beneath it.

So yeah, should I go through the hassle of RMAing it, in which I would just return it for a refund, seeing as they are out of stock V_V.

If you want your stuff in perfect condition then RMA it.

If it's screwing things up or not functioning RMA it.

Hmm.. for me, I wouldn't bother RMA ing it. If it works, I will just keep it. Although the heatsink is bent, it will still dissipate the heat.

if it still works perfectly fine.. dont bother rma'ing it.. not worth the week or two you have to wait for one to be shipped back just because the heatsink was bent a little bit..

Sounds reasonable, I wasn't sure if the heatsink being bent would affect heat dissipation a lot. I think I'll keep it and hope for the best, I'll only be plugging 1 92mm fan in that slot anyways.'

Thanks everyone!
