Is this cooler even safe to be installed on CPUs?

As title,

I have not ever seen a such uneven coldplate.

I know that a slight convexity is to increase mounting pressure, but this is just jarring.

There are reports of such shapes destroying the CPU if torqued down.

 

What cooler is this?

 

Thermalright le grand macho RT.

 

I actually had installed this cooler on my cpu but replaced it with D15 due to its poor performance.

 

It is a miracle that my cpu still works lol

Is it safe? Well you already had it installed. But as noted in your other thread that cooler is a pos, and is clearly defective 😄

 

Hopefully they get back to you..

I assume you are talking about Thermalright customer support? 

Oh, they did replied, saying that the copper base is normal.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah.. that's not normal. I would try to get it escalated. You have a lot of money tied up in those coolers.

 

Edit:

 

I have 3 Thermalright coolers and none of mine even remotely resemble that thing. Someone is passing the buck
