I was thinking of switching from my pentium g4560 stock cpu cooler to the Cooler Master Hyper RR-212E-20PK-R2. But the size and the weight of it makes me worry that It can snap my motherboard when the motherboard is standing vertically.

I can confirm that I have tried some much larger heatsink assemblies (Tuniq Tower, Coolermaster V10) and never damaged a motherboard as a consequence of the extra weight.

My motherboard is a Msi B250M. I was thinking of switching the cooler because i noticed that the stock cpu cooler was way too loud.

The 212 Evo? No, it's a fairly lightweight cooler. Even so, I have really not seen a legitimate instance where a cooler broke an actual motherboard where excessive force or circumstances weren't also involved...even with very large coolers.

So do you agree that I will be just fine?
