Ok, so the maximum specification for the weight of a cpu cooler on any current AMD or Intel setup (socket 754/939/940 and 478/775) is 450 grams, according to Zalman's website. They also recommend that special care be taken when moving computers with coolers heavier than the max spec. My question is this: does this weight specification really matter? I mean, there are soooo many coolers out on the market today that far exceed that weight limit, so HSF manufacturers obviously don't set much store by it. What do you guys think? Has anyone ever cracked a motherboard while moving their Zalman 7700Cu, or is this "max spec" an empty threat?
