It really shouldn’t as tempered glass is designed to take a hit directly. “Explosions” are usually the result of the edge touching something imperfect like tile. If it does explode cause of the cooler it means the case was to small/cooler was to big and when put back on it caused to much stress.

at least it wasn’t tile this time.

Kinda of hilarious how people keep buying glass paneled towers.
When more funny why they can’t be made up of the same stuff my windshield is made of.

That’s why i sold my U14S from noctua. That pointy heatsink touching the glass and i don’t wanna take the risk the glass break.

Ain’t nothin’ but a heartache…

That isn’t the case at all. Heatpipes are not nearly pointy enough nor hard enough to cause tempered glass to shatter. Something like the edge or corner of the glass hitting something hard like the ceramic floor tile the PC is sitting on, though? Yeah, that’ll do it.

Vibration at right frequency causes shatter
‘Twas the tiles folks, it’s always the tiles.

The tiles on my floor have a beautiful flower pattern. Absolutely gorgeous. Fully ceramic
DO NOT PUT YOUR FREAKING SIDE PANEL ON CERAMIC TILES.
well time to cut a piece of acrylic to replace the panel..
Obviously because fuck you, that’s why.
Well the cooler isn’t even as wide as the GPU in that photo so it’s not that.
Heatpipes shouldn’t be hard enough to do this anyway, you need something like ceramic to smash tempered glass.
Too small case for tall cooler.
Ain’t nothin but a glass break
Is not the cooler’s fault the measurements were done wrong.
Pointy plus shattery equals shattering
