Hi bros, need you guys to check the base of my xigmatek hsf. please refer to the pic.



I've circled it with red circles. I lapped this sometime ago, and I'm afraid this is the sign that I've lapped it too much. What do you guys think? And wonder whether this effect its performance. Thx for the advice

Note: Sorry for poor quality pic, only have phone camera.

Is there any way to tell that I've lapped it too much?

iinm if lapped unevenly the base will incline at one side, it doesn't affect only in spots, and for my base, it seems like the spots are actually near the sides of the processor. maybe I've tighten it too much, but I couldn't feel any indentation on the base.

Bro, takkan I kena tunggu sampai that base become like that I mean is there any sign before that thing in the picture happens to me?

Sixth sense? LOL.

Oh and one more thing, I'm using the provided rubber holder to attach the fan. If I just wanna tie it with straps, will it affect the processor? You know, fans vibrate, so it might be harmful to the proc. Or is it OK as long as I mount the hsf tightly?
