Long story short; I bought a pc from a second hand market. It got completely destroyed during shipping. It got covered so no worries there, but im still left with some broken parts I'd like to fix. Among them is this Noctua cooler. This has been heavily bent, is it safe to bend it back again or is it going to require a lot of heat?
Thanks for any suggestions!
UPDATE :
Getting close! Surprisingly easy to vend back fix sone very slowly. Hoping to test it soon.
It's possible, and if you do it right there shouldn't be too much structural damage that would affect conductivity. It's a lot of work though.
As long as the plate is even and clean, mounting is not bent, you should be fine.
If the mounting plate is not OK, be careful - - you could damage the mobo and cpu.
