Be quiet Dark Rock 3 on 1151

[thauolar]

So I'm about to order the parts for a PC for a friend and he is getting an I5 6600K.
Now I've read that coolers that fit on 1150 also fit on 1151 but I've also read that some coolers are bending cpu's.
So I'd like to know if the "Be quiet Dark Rock 3" works with this cpu/socket.

i used my dark rock pro 3 (a heavier cooler) on my i5 6600 for about 3 months, didnt notice any bends

 

i guess it depends on how tight you screw it? but the cpu socket itself should be putting a ton of pressure on the cpu anyway

[Enderman]

no there are no coolers bending CPUs

that was ONE case where an idiot used a drill to screw in his cooler mounts

 

the DRP3 works perfectly fine

Technically, it could happen, but it would require a drill (like @Enderman said) or a real stud-muffin using the screwdriver to pull off. If you follow the instructions, you shouldn't have to worry. Just use a driver and hand-tighten until you get firm resistance.
