Hey guys, really just read up on my motherboard the Z97X-SOC FORCE and I am kind of concerned with the CPU Cooler's weight.

Gigabyte says the weight limit for the board is 450g, but the Phanteks is easily 1250g with 2 fans on. Will any issues arise?

I actually already have the board and the cooler is already on it. Just wondering if I should be worried about damaged to the board or anything overtime.

I've been using a Phanteks TC-14PE for the last couple of years with no damage to my motherboards. The supporting bracket on the -14PE seems to evenly distribute the weight of the cooler and I've not noticed any problems with my Asus mobos. With a cheap "no name brand" mobo there might be some warping over time, but with a quality mobo I don't think you have anything to worry about. Anyway, I've not had any problems at all using the -14PE.
