I received the wyb012alfi19rl system today, minor dents to radiator...will this effect performance?

No, we were told that it should be fine by our heating and cooling installer. However, if it is a a lit of the fins, it can affect air flow. I would check with your installer to be safe.

Depends on what you call minor. The idea of the radiator (coil) is to pass air through to cool the unit. As long as the majority of the coil is unrestricted (not dented) you should be good.

if they are minor and don't cover a lot of area. They Make a small cheep tool usualy made of plastic for straightening bent radiator fins. I think it is called a radiator fin straightener. probably get it at harbor freight or local auto parts store for a couple bucks>

Yes! Be sure to use cpu thermal heatsink grease! "Caution" when using a lower grade cooler failure is at a higher risk!

Mine said the same and I haven't had any problems. Not the best build quality, but works for me.

I had to BEND the ram heatsinks slightly for this Gen 2 Coolermaster V8. The Gen 1 fits without bending the heatsinks. This one is also more difficult to screw down. Get a sealed water unit and save yourself the aggravation.

Probably noticeable in temperatures. I wouldn't worry though, the stock cooler is surprisingly efficient. Might be a bit louder aswell.

It isnt that bad at all. My avg temps are in rhe 50s under load. Just mke sure you have the extra fans on top and do cable management for optimum airflow

Always get a new radiator cap with a new radiator. Read others experiences. There are differences in thickness of plastic and caps. Sorry, but that is the best advice I can offer.

Hi, its not recommended to change the radiator. The cooling capacity should be enough for any graphics card. Best regards, Jens

Not enough information, look at the rpm on the old one, it probably won't be exactly the same as the new one,but that's ok, as long as it's close within 100-300rpm is ok, I recommend Buying the fan too as the old ones are tough to get off, the set screw breaks inside, this happened to me twice, again, look for your RPM'S and Voltage

It will work fine unless it's like mine and overheats badly. I've found out that others have had the same problem.

In my experience, the heatsink gets too hot to touch, so I would be wary of improper airflow.

I would look at your corsair. It does come with amd brackets. This will keep your processer cool. From what I have seen from this fan the temp hasn't gone above 43C and that's when I was out of town and my AC crapped out.

The themal paste on that is fresh on a new cooler should be fine . If you reuse the cooler, use new thermal paste.

The Radiator has a aluminum core with plastic tanks. I installed in my jeep 6 months ago without any problems. I also added a fan shroud. I seems OK, I was a little disappointed in the plastic tanks. I cant complain about it, its doing its job. I hope this helps.Adam

I don't have that answer for you but I know that the radiator that i bought from this company is working like a champ no problems at all

Not that I know of. But I haven't had any problems n the shipping it self paid for the radiator being that I live in Hawaii. Everyone here was asking anywhere from $400.00 - $500.00. I'm happy.
