I was thinking about doing that because the NB heatsink is not straight. Mine is bent one way, and my friend's heatsink is bent another. The NB heatsink is not straight, just like in a lot of pics.

Did you have trouble prying off the cover? Must the doubled sided tape be replaced before re-attaching the cover?
