No. Skylake bends with people adding to much mounting force no matter the cooling type. To suggest it will bend less with a AIO is stupid.

Water blocks don't stick out as far as an air cooler.

During shipping, with particular coolers... in fact this has never been reported for a non-prebuild computer, leading me to believe it is at least significantly in part due to incompetence by OEM's...

That doesn't suprise me...

facepalm. Please please like Curufinwe_wins said. Do your research before to offer silly advice. The "Offending Skylake Chips" have only been found in pre-built systems and mostly due to the fact that the CPU cooler was left on and subject to stress in shipping or moving. 

 

A Air Cooled Skylake build will not bend if you apply reason to tightening your cooler on, and remove it during moves.

 

Its not as black and white as you claim it to be. Putting a Air cooler does not make your CPU go boom.

So a little bit of physics explanation...

 

Officially, intel specifications say you are not supposed to use coolers heavier than 500g. That said, a larger heavier cooler will induce a larger torque on the socket if say the case was bumped in transit. Hence it IS ACCURATE to say that a tower air cooler stands a larger chance of fucking the cpu up. Additionally, by not over torquing the tiedown's the torque is properly displaced by the motherboard brace not by the socket. So it is actually a combination of the two.

Completely agree. Be smart when applying a cooler, doesn't matter if its a Air Or AIO.

And remove your CPU cooler during transit...

 

Not rocket science.
