I'm trying to build a computer around a Pentium D 930, and I've run into a snag with the CPU cooler. Intel says that the cooler must weigh 450 g or less, yet everything I see that's any good is heavier than that.
With mid-tower case and vertically-positioned motherboard, what are the drawbacks of a CPU cooler that weighs more than 450 g? The ASUS Silent Square, for instance?
