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)

Dropped an average of 15C after I replaced the stock CPU bracket on my Gigabyte Aorus Elite AX. This fit very snug and secure on the 13th Gen i9 and I couldnt be happier!

Purchased this for my first Intel build ever. I installed this after using the stock bracket and seeing some relatively high temps. A quick search of Reddit brought up many recommendations for this, so I picked one up. It’s reduced the max temp on my 13700k from around 90c to about 85c with my EK Nucleus 360mm AIO. Definitely worth the cost IMO, even came with free thermal paste. I didn’t use the paste, but it’s a nice touch for sure.

Before installing this contact frame on my i7 13700k, I was getting temps around mid 70’s while playing Escape From Tarkov and Insurgency Sandstorm. I have my cpu undervolted by .1 and overclocked by 100mhz (very mild imo). I’m about 5 hours into gaming after installing, and my MAX cpu package temp so far has been 68C, but average is 60C!!! That is a huge improvement from before. Very glad I spend the 12 bucks!

No instructions. Luckily I found a youtube video

Luckily I stumbled upon a video from Gamers Nexus highlighting these. Bought one because why not. Easy to install and it feels like my cooler is more secure than ever. I am running a z790 board with an Intel 13700k. My temps havent even needed to kick the fans on full blast yet.

13900k/Liquid Freezer II 360/Z790 Aorus Master - no improvement in temps unfortunately. Well built and easy to install however.

facil instalacion y cumple su funcion

This is my first build in 4.5 years, so this time around I wanted to do tons of research. Im installing a CPU water cooler for the first time ever and researching that a fair amount led me to these CPU brackets. Ive never been satisfied with the cheezy, light weight CPU brackets/fasteners which come standad on MBs. This seemed like a valuable asset for just $14. Im running a 13th Gen Intel on an MSI Z690 ACE MB. As you can see from the pic, the fit looks very clean and the aluminum bracket is well machined. I do not know if temps will be lowered vs the stock guillotine bracket but it sure holds the Intel in place far better. And that can only be good.

Easy to install and help with thermals

This does what its supposed to do!
