Which indent? Found a pic of it here, 2nd pic down. I see no indent there, except for the one on the side that runs the length - that's there to clear the socket itself. But as for an indent where the CPU core goes, the only thing I'd figure that Squisher means is that the heatsink was concave. I found that a power sander with rough grit is good for getting heatsinks flat. I do the actual lapping manually with the finer grit sandpaper.

under no circumstances is a heatsink supposed to have a concave base.

LilHen, that's not the Anandtech way to ask. I think the proper way is more like:Did you take any pics for us?

I went by Home Depot to pick up some Wet & Dry sanding paper and the highest they had was 800 grit. Where are you guys gettting the 800+ grit? I heard Pep Boys carry them, but none around here.
