Hello Zealousideal_Ask357, and thank you for your submission to Gaming PC! If you are new please check out our rules over at the wiki [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/gamingpc/wiki/rules)! We have recently added the useful feature of Title Flair! You can set this manually by clicking Flair under your post once you have submitted your post, but if you missed it in the rules there is a much better way that will automatically flair your post!
To do this simply add what your post is about in brackets before your title. For example for a Build Log you can type [Build Log] before your post so that it looks like this; [Build Log]My new awesome build!, and the bot will automatically set your flair to Build Log! This works for Build Log, Build Showcase, News, Hardware News, Hardware Release, Discussion, and Miscellaneous!
Also remember that this is a place for discussing and sharing our love of Gaming Computers! This is NOT the place for help building or determining what parts you should buy, that is better suited for /r/buildapc. Troubleshooting questions should be directed to /r/techsupport. Thank you again!

It’s unlikely to have any real effect on performance the rest of the fins look fine, however, you have just bought it so I would contact the retailer/seller and see what they can do about fixing it, you’ve been sold damaged goods.

Just bend it back. It’s metal. Nothing broken and zero issues even if you don’t bend it back.

Honestly a few crooked cooling fins will not hurt performance, you might be able to flatten them yourself carefully but it’s just a thin sheet and even fan clamps can over time squeeze them a bit along the sides.

This is not a significant damage. If it is bothering you though you can straighten it yourself with a screwdriver, just be careful.
