Zalman CNPS7000-Cu too heavy?

I'm looking at the Zalman CNPS7000-Cu to cool my 2.4C and am wondering if I
should worry about the following disclaimer on Zalman's website:

"450g is the specified maximum weight for an Intel Pentium 4 cooler. The
weight of CNPS7000-Cu is 773g, so special care should be taken when moving a
computer equipped with CNPS7000-Cu. Zalman Tech is not responsible for any
damage that occurs when moving a computer."

I've looked for copper shims designed for socket 478 CPUs, but have come up
empty-handed. If I go with this cooler (and I'm inclined to), of course
I'll take extreme care when mounting it. Is there anything else I ought to
do to ensure I don't damage my CPU investment?

Thanks,

BJ

You don't have to worry. Just mount it! I know lots of people who have the
same heatsink (I'm considering to buy one myself too) and they haven't had
any problem at all. Copper just is very heavy and you won't find a lighter
heatsink which has the same cooling abilities. It's predecessor was even
heavier (something like 950g) and nobody has had problems with that!

You could get the aluminum/copper hybrid version, CNPS7000-AlCu instead.
It's within weight limits, and most reviews shows it to be just as effective
as the pure copper version - some have even found it to be better.

lay the computer on its side with the heatsink UP when you move it, and don't
use it for a doorstop or substitute parking brake, you'll be fine...

sarcasm Wow! You know everybody who has ever fitted and used a Zalman
CNPS7000-Cu or it's predecessor? /sarcasm

LOL, I wondered about that post from a normally lucid, informative poster.

Ah. I thought maybe you had accidentally left your level 6 encryption code ring
activated.

I have the AlCU version after finding several detailed tests online from
people who noticed hardly any different in temp control between the two.
Best product I have ever bought and all future PCs will have one of these.
