Is there any worries about mounting a heavy cpu heatsink to a cheap mobo? Just for a stupid example, Thermalright true copper(1900g) on a Asus Prime B450M.

 

I couldn't find a link to the true copper for obvious reasons

It will be fine. Just don't drop the computer and make sure you secure the board in with screws into all the standoffs!

Big coolers use backplates. Those as mobo standoffs make sure that weight of the cooler is spread out much wider area than just CPU socket. If you should worry something being heavy, it would be GPU.
