Im looking to get a new air cooler for an i5 12600K and have been recommended the Noctua D15 but have read the weight of them can be a strain on the motherboard, further affected by motherboard quality. Has anyone found this to be an issue? Im currently looking at a Gigabyte Z690 Gaming X to fit it on. I am totally open to different components though so if there are better alternatives, any suggestion would be appreciated too.
Are cooler support brackets a thing yet, similar to ones for graphics cards?
Also, the LGA mounting kits some with different pitches (78mm/83mm). I cannot see on the cooler spec sheets what their pitches are, how do I make sure I get the right one?
