I had the typical Intel CPU retainer on my MB which, with research, would give you unequal pressure on the chipset resulting in higher CPU temps. For those with the 13700 series, we are all struggling to keep the temps down to respectable numbers. Not only did this get rid of the standard CPU retainer, but it looks and performs much better.Pros:Installation was a breeze. Look at GamersNexus YouTube video for installation so you create equal pressure when tightening down.Temps are brought down as of now. I’m still verifying that with extensive use so I’m not providing initial temp numbers.Quality is very good. I got the black to match my MB. Seems to be CNC machine metal.Cons:None as of now. Just get it. It will only improve your CPU temps, especially at this low price.

This is such a nice way to install a CPU. One day before the build I saw this and reviews that there are temperature issues with Gen 12 CPUs bracket on motherboards. I however did not have any heating issue, because I had not built anything at that time. But decided to get this because it looks like a neater solution. It is. Also no heating issues. Fitted perfectly on ASUS 790m prime pro MB.I actually searched for the same type of bracket device for 1155 for my other two computers but could not find any. This is a much better way to hold a CPU in place. The dimensions are very precise and do not get i the way of anything. See online video instructions from multiple sources and see manufacturer instructions, which are decent.

Can’t say a lot about this thing, i bought it for my 12700K CPU, easy to install, hope it makes my CPU more cold rather base socket holder. With water cooling Artic Freezer 360 on watching YouTube and some net browsing its temperature is 28-34 C

This product was very easy to install and has helped keep my cpu a few degrees cooler. I would recommend this if you are overclocking your cpu.

This thing just works. I installed it the same day I got it, after using my pc gaming for a while, and I noticed an immediate difference.Before installation, my 13900k was getting 65-80 degrees in the gaming session. That’s with undervolting and disabling E Cores! In the same day ,just hours later I was getting 57-70 degrees consistently while gaming, which is what I do most of the time. My idle temps went from 41-50 down to 39-45 degrees. All cooled by a deepcool lt720.The build quality was great and fits my motherboard and cpu perfectly. The installation was simple and took me 20 minutes and that’s with toddlers pulling me away from the installation, so it’s extremely simple. Someone with no distractions could get it done in less time. Just be sure to work in a pattern when tightening the screws. Start top left, bottom right, bottom left, top right and cross from there turning in 90 degree turns slowly until you get resistance. This lowers all corners of the frame evenly to ensure the bracket is level.Watch Gamer Nexus video on the bracket for better installation instructions and how it compares to thermal Grizzly contact frame. Hint, this one’s on par if not better.In short. I see it as a must buy!

New computer build with a 14th gen Core i9. I knew it would be tough to keep the i9 cool (using air cooling) so taking suggestions from others, I decided to try this contact frame. Easy to install. Inexpensive. And most importantly, my core i9 never goes above 80 degrees (air cooled) even when running a benchmark.

Works really good on my i5 12600k to hold it down to prevent warping and improve cooling. I have it paired with a thermalright peerless assassin 120 argb air cooler and my temps never go above 40°C when gaming and idle around 24°C using the included thermal paste. Highly recommend this over the more pricey competitors, same quality product at a much cheaper price

When I built my gaming rig two years ago, I marvelled at how much pressure it took to lock my Intel CPU into place with Intel’s interlocking mechanism (ILM.) A few months after that, I started hearing stories of people winding up with bent Intel CPUs or bent pins on the motherboard due to uneven pressure being applied by the ILM.I finally got around to ordering this Thermalright frame, and installed it a couple days ago. It fits over & around the CPU like a glove. So far, so good — the computer seems to be stable and performing about the same as before, and the operating temps don’t appear to have changed, though I didn’t buy it for this reason.It wasn’t a particularly easy install, your mileage may vary depending on whether your motherboard manufacturer used adhesive to hold an unmounted CPU backplate in place (mine didn’t), but it was about as easy as one could hope for.As I’m hoping to get about 10 years of life out of this computer, I saw this Thermalright bracket as a necessary modification to avoid long-term damage to my CPU & board. If you are on the fence about it, I’d say do it, but be sure to give yourself a couple hours to do it properly & without any outside stress/distractions.Also, blow out the dust in your computer (esp around the CPU & cooler) a few days before!

Prolongs life of CPU by eliminating bending of the PCB by the Intel bracket. Installation was simple and direct. The provided TF7 tool was a plus. Now my Intel Core i9-12900k is safe and secure. Great yet simple fix. Have no issues with Noctua nh-u12a and AsRock z690m Phantom Gaming 4.

Does what its suppose to do. I guess its a win win even if its a -5c improvement. Helped placing my aio better. Super easy installation. Watch gamer nexus video for right installment.13700kz790 strix eartic liquid freezer II aio
