grr i thought they were going to fix that?

Speculation by some, that's all.

To be fair, I haven't seen a reliable source, or anything from a Thermalright source commenting on the their heatsink bases. I've read so many second or third hand accounts of Thermalright stating the convex base is an intentional design, but I have yet to see any Thermalright statement. I think Thermalright will keep making those warped bases until people stop buying them.
