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.

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.
