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.

Yeah you could bend the top part back into place, it's just that with heat, it would make the process easier. Heat gun or blow torch would work, I'm all for trying to repair things rather than tossing it out.
