So I got my Matrix Platinum in the mail (from Scan, love Scan) yesterday and even though I can't even use the thing until January I've been going over ever inch of this beautiful beast.
However, I noticed that one of the heat pipes has apparently gotten into a fight and lost and it all kinds of bent (compared to the silky smoothness of the other heat pipes) and I was wondering if this is acceptable/will affect cooling performance?
Picture! (Sorry its not ideal, can't take it apart due to warranty and fear) It also looks worse in RL
I'm probably over reacting but, hey, why not ask the pro's
