Hello guys my friend gave me his old scythe fuma rev.b cooler and im going to use it on my i7 3770 and my mother board is an intel dh67cl and i am sacred that the cooler would be too heavy and damage my motherboard so is it safe for me to us eit?

it come with support bracket

suggest diy some support inside casing to prevent motherboard become curve.

Wdym by this

weight/pressure is not an issue here (used to be decades ago).

wait could u explain to me in more detail?

TS, if u plan to relocate your rig to another place, u better remove the cooler before transporting your rig.

in the past, cooler used to be small and light. intel heatsink was (and still is) installed with that puny plastic push pins. then came the mighty Thermalright. things got bigger and heavier. manufacturers came out with solution, which is the custom cpu cooler backplate. this helps the pressure to be distributed evenly.

1900g (Heatsink Only) chunk here:

then there was this issue with bending cpu:

all these are now history and solved. remember, always use compatible cooler. transport your pc properly (lay horizontally) if you need to.

wait so its basically safe to install the scythe fuma rev 2 on my intel dh67 cl also what about the clip style coolers
