Any way to add support for weight of CPU coolers?
<hr style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" size="1"> <!-- / icon and title --> <!-- message --> With some new even heavier CPU coolers appearing on the market, I am wondering if they are at or over the limit of what a motherboard can support in a vertical position, even with a backplate as part of the design.
Can the boards support a 3 pound heatsink device? Are there any published specifications on this? I am thinking specifically of a Gigabyte EX58 or EX58A board.
Is it possible to add some physical support at the unsupported end of a tower-type heatsink?
