guys..

need some advice..

Does 2 - 4 Banded fins really affect the temps?

the banded fins was caused by the fkin Anti-vibration rubber design which is used to mount a 120mm fan.. and that thing just banded 2-3 of my fins on the bottom of my hsf..

i strighten it back, does it affect the temps?
 
If they were severely bent it might affect the airflow slightly but if you bent them back successfully, I wouldn't worry about it.
 
same thing happend to me, but it wont affected the temps at all
i got rid of the rubber things and used bluetack - it actually worked!
 
Banded? Bent?

A few bent fins wont make a difference. If its completely mangled impeding a significantly amount of airflow, then it could make a difference.
