I bought a secondhand Asus ROG G20CB recently, only to find it has (can you guess?) cooling problems. The CPU cooler consists of a heat transfer plate connected to the fan-cooled fins via two (I believe) copper tubes. I have no experience of this particular model, but those tubes seem to have been crimped at the point where the enter the fins. This may have impeded heat transfer, but rather than rush out and buy a replacement, I thought I'd ask here. Looking at the pic, can anyone here say whether this is normal for this model of cooler? TIA ...
