HAs anyone's Mobo broken due to their cooler weight?
Heat given as its a twin tower. BEquiet are good.

I have read of mounting brackets braking with heavy coolers like this but only when transporting the PC. The recommendation is to remove heavy coolers if transporting the PC.

If you're going to spend £50-70 on a cooler this heavy you should probably have a motherboard with a backplate. There's no flex from this in my PC, I'm more worried about modern GPUs breaking a PCI-E slot with their drooping.

Nah, I have the cooler master v8

& mobo is fine under the weight of that so you SHOULD be fine ☺

Amazon isn't a good source for a price comparison, as although they're popular, they're generally one of the more expensive outlets. AWT currently have the cooler at £55, inc delivery, for a slightly more realistic comparison.
It's caller than the AIO water cooler (TT Water 2.0) I was using.

Thermalright heatsinks are splendid, I loved them in the socket A days :sunglasses:

Very tempted with buying this even though I am not doing a rebuild until later in the year. Does anyone know if it is AM4 compatible? The blurb says compatible with all current AMD, but then the specific socket details don't mention AM4.
Acoustic performance is more important than amazing cooling, reviews suggest it is on par with Noctua’s NH-D14, don't suppose anyone can back this up? I mainly just need it to be as silent as possible under low load scenarios
Very good cooler, I've owned it for a while now and this is a good price. Plus always recommend Novatech.
You don't need to worry about anything breaking, even during transport (just lay the PC on its side if you're worried). Taken mine to 2 insomnia LANs now with no problems.
One of the best looking air coolers imo as well.

I have a Scythe Mugen Max which is similar performance to this and even at full load it's damn near silent. Overclocked my i5 to silly numbers and cooling was never the limit.
Large air coolers are so much quieter than AiO water cooling solutions and unless you have some ridiculous processor and overclock you are not going to outrun one of these behemoths.
But yeah if you are transporting your PC make sure your cooler is off or lay it flat because a kilo+ of metal pulling on 4 small screws through a plastic board is not a good combination.

This is a great cooler, for a great price. Heat added.
The only thing I would add for anyone thinking of buying, is make sure your case will fit this cooler as it is a monster. Also there is no need for a cooler this size unless you are overclocking.

Cheaper, same performance, quieter and doesn't hit the ram!:
