You're saying that part of the ceramic is sticking out? That's ok, and it would be really hard for a part of the core to be sticking out. However, if it doesn't cover the CPU all the way, it's probably a pretty cruddy HS. You will probably want to get a new one, like a TaiSol CGK 760092. What CPU are you using?
