So when I bought my CM 212X, there was a tiny dent on the bottom of the heatsink where it makes contact with the TIM and CPU. It's amount 1mm in diameter.
I contacted CM too see if I could get an RMA but they told me that the dent won't affect performance. What do you guys think? Because if a piece of lint can affect the performance of a CPU cooler, then obviously so will a dent.
