Too big heatsink?

Im worried about this heatsink being too heavy for the motherboard and it might snap it. Here is the motherboard and heatsink.

Nah, should be fine. That heatsink isn't even that big.

What is your case?
That cooler needs 156mm of height to install.

The case is the rosewill nautilus. The computer is completely built and the heatsink fits perfectly. My concern is the weight and if it will bend the motherboard over time.
