[@lutylives1852]

Thank you for the video. You have helped me to confirm that I received a return which was sold as new.

What was the obvious tell that yours was used? Mine is missing some parts that ain’t in this video as well and wondering if mine ain’t new too

@@haies09 In fact, it turned out that mine was new, after returning and rebuying it from another site. My issue was excessive bending of multiple heatsink fins and the accessories not being in sealed bags and scattered around their box but this is how they are packaged new now. What's missing from yours?

@@lutylives1852well with that being said, mine probably isn’t used then. The fins are bent where the fan clips are attached, like someone squeezed them around the clip, and the cables ain’t in no bag

@@haies09 Mine had bent fins all along the heatsink, maybe a sign of mishandling by the courier. If you have everything, you're probably fine. Just double check if you got the nice new fans (you can see the date of manufacture on the top and there's differences with the label on the back side)
