I considered changing from my Pentium G4560 stock CPU cooler to the Cooler Master Hyper RR-212E-20PK-R2. However, concerns arose about its size and weight possibly damaging the motherboard if placed upright.

I can verify that I've tested several bigger heatsinks (Tuniq Tower, Coolermaster V10) without harming a motherboard due to added weight.

What is the model and make of your mainboard? You can't overclock the G4560, so it's best not to waste time trying further.

My motherboard is an MSI B250M. I'm considering replacing the cooler since the built-in one was very noisy.

The 212 Evo is actually a relatively light cooler. Still, I haven't encountered any real cases where a cooler damaged a motherboard due to excessive force or other factors—even with powerful coolers.
