These days there's usually a back bracket which helps distribute the weight of the cooler over a large part of the board as opposed to earlier coolers which would only mount to a few screw holes. Extra large aftermarket coolers usually come with extra large mounting brackets. I wouldn't be too worried about any name brand cooler causing damage to the board. Follow the directions from the kit and it will probably be fine.
