I'm considering upgrading to the intel Core 2 platform, and like most of you, overclocking is something I find very appealing. However, the size of current-day heatsinks has me a bit worried. The solutions that offer the best cooling are also the largest and heaviest on the market, with products such as the thermalright ultra 120 and tuniq tower weighing in a kilogram with a fan. As both of these coolers are way over the weight limit specified by intel, just how safe are they to use? I imagine that a back plate pulling against my motherboard with that kind of weight couldn't be good for it. What are the long-term consequences of using such a hefty cooler?
If you have any experience with such coolers, I would very much appreciate your input on the matter. Thanks.
