So im thinking about upgrading my heat sink, to something like the true black, or the megahalems, or something similar. Im just really paranoid about weight. Has anyone devised any great solutions for supporting one of these huge coolers with some extra fan weight on them?

I know im going to be told its not necessary, but Im sure a few people had the same concerns, and came up with a great solution.
 
Any of the heatsinks with a bolt-thru solution instead of just relying on pushpins should do fine.
 
As said, any of the new "big" coolers have back plates, and that's all they need, motherboards are very tough, I bang mine around all the time with my TRUE and the mobo is as happy as could be. Don't sweat it, the only reason you might have to worry is if you had something like the TRUE copper.
