I just got the radiator from FrozenCPU. and clearly inspect the radiator i found that the tube got a big dent on it. as in picture. The paint coat still on top so it's not from packaging or transporting. Is this a manufacturer defect? Can i still use it or should i get an RMA. Thanks

I would not trust this, as it could leak and or cause a back-up of the liquid and make the pump work harder and break the seals. I'd return/ RMA.

Put some water inside it block the inlets and shake does it leak? If not use it.
EDIT: i dont even think it has anything to do with water anyway, just to transfer heat, so it shouldn't effect anything.

The dented part is a channel where the water passes through for the heat to transfer to the aluminium fins. Having said that, if you fill it with water and it doesn't leak, you should be ok to use it.
It's still pretty poor on FrozenCPU's part to make you pay for return shipping on a clearly defective item.

Its one thing to fill and test for leaks but when you put pressure into the equation.... who knows how it will fair.

I second that. A pin hole may not leak with no pressure on the system. If you have a pump on hand you could do some more "advanced" testing. I agree I wouldn't trust it for too long. Can you get a hold of the manufacturer? You may have better luck there.
