Hi ALL......... am using i7 6700k, MSI Z170A Krait gaming want to know is it safe to install Thermalright Venomous x on i7 6700k? some sites show bending pins of Skylake due to cooler's pressure this cooler has a screw for 40 lbs and 70 lbs variable pressure, would 40 lbs be fully safe for i7 6700k? if 70 lbs is a risk thanks .......
I looked up your cooler and it is heavy! For the money, I would consider a Corsair H50 or H60 water cooler. The reason is that the pump/heatsink itself is super light. It won't bend anything if you mount it correctly. Then the performance of these low priced water coolers will match or exceed some of the best aircooler. So long as you keep the radiator and fan's clean. I vacuum mine once a month to keep the airflow steady. You only need to consider if there would be room in your case to mount the radiator.
