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)

I honestly did not watch the review of this plate on Gamers Nexus. I did watch Steves review of the Thermal Grizzly one though but when I saw how much it was going for I was like NOPE. I thought well lets spend $12 and if it sucks then Ill buy Der8auers. I love the lil German guy. Honestly I just slapped this one on. Didnt do all that putting marks on the screws and slowly tightening it down like Mike did. Temps were lower than the GN reviews so I guess I slapped it on my 13900k right. I am using a 360 Lian Li AIO though. So go ahead and buy it. If you get something different then you may need to remount it or have one that may be out of tolerance.

Easy to install and help with thermals

I didn’t notice a change to my thermals, but it makes my install look cleaner

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!

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.

Tengo una motherboard Z690-F de Asus y desde que coloqué el procesador intel i9 13900k hace 3 meses noté que quedó con demasiada presión con su soporte de CPU Stock. Decidí adquirir este LGA1700-BCF para quitarle esa presión al procesador, el cambiarlo fue realmente fácil ya que te incluye la llave para los tornillos que lo fijan a la motherboard. Las Temperaturas que obtenía en mi procesador eran realmente buenas, sin carga Variaban de 32 a 36 grados y con Cargas extremas pegaba a los 80 grados y más. Después de Cambiarlo noté que sin cargas está entre los 28 y 29 grados y con cargas obtuve en promedio 6 grados menos de Temperatura, el rating de mi cooler en Bios me dió un valor de 177 puntos lo cual es excelente para controlar las temperaturas. Este accesorio lo adquirí para evitar esas flexiones del procesador y cuidar su tiempo de vida lo más posible y no tanto por controlar las temperaturas, lo cual fue como un plus el obtener esos 3 o 6 grados menos en la temperatura. Cabe mencionar que tengo activo el overclocking de ASUS con frecuencias del procesador de hasta 6200MHZ. Si deseas cuidar tu inversión de 12va o 13va generación cambiando el adaptador stock, super recomendado este producto para reemplazar ese Frame LGA1700.

Literally dropped temps by 20c just by adding this to my i5 12600k.

Once I saw a video on this item, I decided to purchase one. It is as good, if not better than the name-brand one. Dont waste your money getting a name-brand one. This one does a great job keeping the CPU flat and has proper contact wth your cooling device.

When I bought my i7-13700K, the CPU would randomly spike to 100 °C while idle and stay at that temperature for 4 to 5 minutes. I upgraded my CPU cooler to a corsair 420 mm CPU watercooler, but the same issue occurred, although it didnt stay as long at 100 °C. The problem disappeared when I switched to the Thermalright contact frame. I also noticed an improvement in the average temperature of the CPU at idle and under load. It is clear that this contact frame helps the CPU behave in a better way, especially for a CPU that is known to overheat.

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.
