4770K IHS bowed / convex, don't want to lap, are there convex base heatsinks?

I know Thermalright used to advocate convex bases on their heatsinks, do they still do this? Anyone else?

Thanks man, I ended up first lapping it, barely any temp drop, then I delid it (my first time!) with a razor. I got maybe 2 to 4 degrees temp drop. This is with MX-4 though, I think I need to order the liquid ultra and give that a shot.
