I've got my motherboard, which is quite well made, (MSI Z87-GD65) screwed onto my case vertically, it seems pretty sturdy. I've got my CPU cooler (bulky Noctua one) and I was just wondering if it would damage / bend my board over time as it's quite bulky and hanging off the side with no extra support. Same with my graphics card which is an MSI gtx 770. Should I add some extra support to help hold up the Cooler / GPU or is the motherboard designed to be able to withstand this?
Any info / suggestions would be appreciated.
THANKS!

the only issue with larger coolers is when moving or shipping a pc. if you drop the pc the cooler can snap the cpu scokket off the mb. myself I been running a larger 140 cooler for a few years now on an older z77 sabertooth with no issue.
