New cpu cooler

[Zap]

Hi, I gonna upgrade my CPU pretty soon i'm just wondering I don't wanna use the boxed coolers but most of the new (and good) coolers are made out of copper. Wouldn't this bend my motherboard coz its like 500g of weight when the cpu (amd) can only take 300g?

I would like some advice coz this is an old motherboard with no plate at the back and no CPU mounting holes.

thanks

The Thermalright SK7 is a good choice for you with a Smart Case Fan 2.

Yea thats a wicked heatsink...but still i'm worried about the weight :S

How come you guys don't worry about the weight of the heatsink?

Because i haven't seen sockets snap out yet with 600 grams. But 1kg, i think it might. If you're so worried about weight, then use Slim volcano 10 or the Vantec Aeroflow.
