Default Migrating Thermal Grease

Anyone ever had this happen? No matter where you put the grease, it always moves to one area? I just returned my FuZion because it was doing this. I noticed after a couple of grease applications, that the block was not machined evenly all the way around. The copper was thicker beneath the south lips than the north lips. I assume it was sitting tighter on the bottom because of this and the grease would just move up the path of least resistance when it was heated. Very annoying indeed.

it comes a bit bowed, it's not really "flat" it's designed that way. Although you can lap it. Nothing's perfect.

Well, I hope the next one is a little better. The one I returned looked more like it was tilted from top to bottom than bowed in the middle.
