Thermalright Intel 12th/13th Generation LGA1700 Anti-Bending Buckle,CPU Stress Bending Correction Fixer, Curved Pressure Plate,Fully Fitted and Fixed Without Trace Installation (Black)

Work as advertised, easy to install.

Look I realize Thermal Grizzly basically thought of these as a solution for the 1700 socket bend but they’re super expensive and hard to find in the States. And yes, there are even some builders that believe these contact frames are just a trend and are nothing more than a security blanket for a nonissue. And in same cases that’s absolutely true. Some CPUs IHS are perfectly fine with the socket bend I had 4 that were completely fine with or without the contact frame. But after 15 builds with extreme socket bend making for poor contact with heatsinks I can say this helps more often than not. This contact frame has lowered temps by upwards of 8C on my builds and yes I tested each one. So yes, in my professional opinion Intel created a problem, never addressed it and these are the best solution, especially for anything Core i7 and up. The fact that Thermal Right created these at such a reasonable price and are indeed just as effective as Thermal Grizzly’s (check Gamers Nexus) seems too good to be true, but as I’ve said I’ve used these on 15 builds and they’re worth every penny.

Multiple cores of my i9-12900KS CPU always peaked at 100 degC during Cinebench R23 multi-core tests conducted at 21 degC ambient. I tried several thermal paste application methods/patterns, ...but following AIO pump assembly removal, the paste residue pattern was always evenly distributed with no evidence of CPU IHS cover bending/warping from the motherboards standard LGA1700 CPU mounting solution.

I was a little nervous about installing this at first, but it was surprisingly easy. I placed it on my 17-13700K CPU and I noticed my temps went from Mid 40s to high 30s while in windows, and when running Cinebench I went from low 90s to mid to low 80s. Overall highly recommend if youre comfortable with taking apart your computer. Takes less than 10 minutes.

No instructions. Luckily I found a youtube video

Installed this on my Asus Maximus Z790 Hero with no problems. Used factory screws from motherboard and no issues. Make sure to tighten in criss cross pattern to make sure it tightens evenly and doesn’t bend. Highly recommend as this also lowered my CPU temps on my 13900k

Easy to install and help with thermals

Hello all. This is really a great product and works very well. Ive overclocked my 13600k to 5.5GHZ all cores and I never go over 50c while gaming I would really recommend it for you

Las nuevas generaciones de Intel tienen la característica de llevar temperaturas elevadas, además que el Bracket instalado para soportarlo en la tarjeta madre ejerce una presión asimétrica del CPU a los Pines, esto ocasiona que con el tiempo las temperaturas hagan un Ablandamiento en la superficie total del CPU, no habría problema si el bracket que soporta al CPU ejerciera una presión simétrica sobre la superficie comoleta de éste, sin embargo las áreas con altra presion comienzan a doblarse sobre aquellas que no cuentan con la presión suficiente, al momento de instalarlo fue super sencillo, las temperaturas de mi i7-12700k no superan los 35 grados en tareas simples y a máxima exigencia no supera los 71°C, es una inversión muy buena y prevenir el daño sobre una pieza tan importante como el cpu vale la pena.

This thing is so simple to install . Not expensive, but works like a charm.
