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

QUOTE(Dylan_Ong @ Oct 29 2020, 02:38 PM) wait could u explain to me in more detail? 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:http://thermalright.com/product/true-copper/ QUOTE Question :TRUE Copper being so heavy, will it damage my motherboard? Answer : We did an actual test in our lab with TRUE Copper installed on a system inside an upright tower case and ran for a week. The motherboard did not show any sign of ill condition. Even so, we do not recommend TRUE Copper be installed on a vertical platform and we do not recommend users moving about the case when TRUE copper is installed inside. then there was this issue with bending cpu: https://hexus.net/tech/news/cpu/88628-intel...mount-pressure/ QUOTE Intel changed the thickness of the substrate for its Skylake (6th generation) Core processors. However the thinner, less rigid structure could lead to many well known coolers damaging the chip and/or the motherboard, says a report by PC Games Hardware in Germany. all these are now history and solved. remember, always use compatible cooler. transport your pc properly (lay horizontally) if you need to. |
