Z170 CPU heatsink question

[MusicMayne]

I know Noctua D15 is compatible with the 1151 socket (Z170 board) but am I risking the cpu?

 

 

Anyone else using heavy heatsinks w/ their Z170 build?

 

Noctua D14/15

be quiet

etc

It's not a problem.

Any CPU cooler compatible with the 1150 socket is compatible with 1151

Not really a problem, just don't screw it in too hard.

 

If you break it , just rma it...

Just remove it, whenever you want to transport it.

the bending thing you heard about is just a shipping issue, but honestly, anyone who ships a tower cooler unsupported is an IDIOT.

That's not the problem, it's regarding some coolers bending Skylake CPUs.
