I recently had the chance to finally take a good look at my Batch 3 mainboard. Did anyone else’s mainboard show up with a squished heatsink? All the packaging seems fine and the board itself has no damage, but the last few fins and the outer frame are noticeably smashed in. It looks like this was necessary to get the last couple fins to be in contact with the (perhaps slightly too short) heatpipes.
