Does it use the four mounting holes? If so, are you using them? If not, Video Card Death time.

At least make it interesting by constructing an obstacle course for it using rubber mats or something.

Hmm....I looked up the specs of the Volcano 12 and the weight was listed as 708g. :Q

I thought mine was a lot, but for what it's worth, my SK7 and fan weigh ~567g together, and have been sitting on my CPU without problems for more than a year now, using just the plastic mounting clips on the socket. And it's even been fine moving the computer to several LAN parties over that time. Although for anything heavier, I'd probably want to use the mounting holes too.
