The problem with the huge and heavy Thermaltake Sonic Tower CL-P0071,
and others like it, is that they far exceed the recommended weight limit
for the CPU socket lugs. This heatsink is more than twice that maximum.
You may end up with broken lugs after awhile (unless you orient the
motherboard horizontally in a desktop case rather than vertically in a
[mini-]tower case). You *definitely* need to remove the overweight
heatsink before transporting the computer.
