> 24 hourdecided to rebuild my computer using a i7-12700k and from what i read and what all my builder friends told me, having this retainer is a must for the long term, as it helps mitigate temperature spikes and evens out the CPU to Cooler contact, allowing for an even heat distribution. Now, I’m not super computer savvy and I’ve only built 3 computers in my lifetime, but if I can install this easily, than anyone can.

> 24 hourThis product didnt reduce the temps too much, maybe 5C at full load. However, I got this product for the longevity of the CPU health. This way I can guarantee CPU bend doesnt happen over time.

> 24 hourI 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.

> 24 hourI used this on an Intel Core i7-13700K with an ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 420 for cooling. With the stock frame a few of the cores kept spiking over 100C under load, forcing them to thermally throttle. Since the same cores were overheating every time, it seemed like the CPU wasnt properly mating with the cooler, which is exactly what this product is designed to fix.

> 24 hourHello 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

> 24 hourI was skeptical, but after struggling with my OC 13700K temps despite custom loop I decided to give this a try. No change in ambient, test, or overclock with a 12 degree delta. 12 degrees for a ten minute installation is massive. Cinebench caps at 88 now when I was hitting 100 and throttling previously. 5.7ghz all core and happy.
