Hi
I'm about to pull the trigger on a new build, but I just wanted to check a couple of things first. I plan on getting the above board along with the Pentium G3258 and the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU cooler. My questions are these:
If it's relevant, the full build is here: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/uberrich/saved/xZ7gXL
Thanks!

I'm about to pull the trigger on a new build, but I just wanted to check a couple of things first. I plan on getting the above board along with the Pentium G3258 and the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU cooler. My questions are these:
■ Can I overclock the G3258 with this board/chipset?
■ Can this board handle the weight of this cooler? I'm a bit concerned because the FAQ on the Gigabyte website says the max weight of the CPU cooler is 450g [1], however the 212 EVO weighs a total of 569g (465g for the heatsink + 104g for the fan) [2]. Has anyone used these two in cominbation before? Am I gonna snap the mobo if I try it?! This is all going in a Fractal Design Node 804 case too, so the mobo will be mounted vertically. Does this affect the weight issues?
■ The manual for the 212 EVO doesn't mention installing it over a 1150 socket (only 1366/1156/1155/775) [3], yet the product web page says the 1150 is supported [2]. Which do I trust?
