I need to send a pre built computer from the US to canada. The case is an haf 932 the mobo is an ASUS Rampage III Formula Rog X58 and the cpu is and i7 950. I need a heat sink that I can install and not have to worry about it cracking the mobo or something during shipment. It probably will never see 4ghz but some slight oc'ing is expected (probably nothing over 3.5ghz). I wanted to install the nh-d14 but I don't see it turning out good at all. The person receiving the computer doesn't want to/doesn't know how to install a custom heatsink so that is the problem. Any recommendations on something that doesn't have such a high center mass that would keep this really cool, and be safe in shipping.
Need good air cooling but safe shipping

Any cooler carries that risk dude. Any good cooler for sure.
The NH literally needs TWO SCREWS to hold it on. You remove the center fan, press it into the TIM, tighten the two screws (spring loaded so do them all the way up without worrying) slide the fan down (middle one, end one stays on) and plug them in. Then simply pull over the remarkably easy clips and that's it. If you fit the back plate and use, say, one of those TIM pads then it's as easy as doing up two screws.

I would never do this with watercooling , al tho you can hardly call it WC
I would do what AlienALX said 2 screws can't be that hard....
Just take the NH-D14 and the GPU out. Send with either fitted and you run the risk of it getting smashed.
