Compatible With: The cpu contact frame is a replacement for the original buckle, not a radiator buckle. Fully fits Intel 12/13/14 Generation LGA1700 CPU, chipset is H610, B660, Z690, Z790 series.
Customers say
Customers find the CPU buckle easy to install, with one mentioning it comes with everything needed. The product effectively lowers CPU temperatures by 5-8C, particularly with 13900k processors, and performs admirably under load. Moreover, they appreciate its perfect fit that covers the CPU like a glove, solid build quality, and appearance, with one noting it matches their motherboard color theme. Additionally, the buckle prevents CPU bending and offers great value for the price.

Essential
The Thermalright Intel 12th/13th Gen CPU Contact Frame is a must-have upgrade for anyone looking to get the most out of their processor. Built from solid aluminum, it provides better and more even contact compared to the stock ILM, helping to reduce temps and improve overall stability. Installation is straightforward, and the difference in thermal performance is noticeable, especially under heavy loads. If you’re serious about cooling and want to maximize efficiency, this contact frame is a no-brainer. Thermalright nailed it with this one! A real value for money.

Easy install process and more importantly, peace of mind
What worried me the most was the possibility of bending the motherboard or the processor due to Intel’s lever mechanism. After installing this brace from Thermalright the temperature dropped by 4-6°C compared to what is was before (also using the Thermalright Assassin 120 SE air cooler). Not a huge difference now but in the long run it does pay off. I combined it with MX-4 thermal paste, but FYI this kit actually included a tube of thermalright TF7 thermal compound.The installation process is straightforward if you know what you’re doing. It’s delicate but not complicated. As long as you don’t expose the socket by leaving the processor in place, follow the recommended cross-pattern tightening of the screws, and only tighten them until minimal force is reached, you should be fine. It worked perfectly for me on the first try.–Highly Recommend, Especially Considering the Low Price, ease of installation, and more importantly, peace of mind–I hope this helps! If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask.

Great fit, takes the stress from Intel’s ILM off of the CPU!
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!

Huge upgrade for little price tag
I’m installing this on an overclocked i7 12700k. Prior to this upgrade, it was very difficult finding the thermal headroom to push this 3.6 ghz processor past 5 ghz without water cooling or other expensive additions.With this, my core temps have dropped a minimum of 8 degrees C under heavy load, which is absolutely massive for a single part. I need to work out some of the voltage issues to maintain stability, but I believe I can probably get my CPU to hit 5.2 ghz without hitting my thermal caps.And even when my computer is not under load, there is a very sizeable difference in how cool the chip runs now.The part is also incredibly easy to install. Extremely low risk, low cost upgrade that will get you some measurable FPS gains for modern gaming. And if all of that isn’t enough, the Thermalright BCF will extend the life of your CPU over the stock ILM with the reduced stress bending of your CPU lid.Included is a screenshot of my computer at idle. The max temperatures were hit when Playing Spiderman Miles Morales, which is a fairly CPU intensive modern game on 1440p on high settings.

Indispensable para proteger de la flexión tu Motherboard. Fácil instalación.

Meu 13600k estava chegando 90-100 graus com 12 a 16% de uso do processador.Eu mesmo mudei o adaptador e usei a pasta térmica que veio.Usando o CPU-Z stress agora não passa de 85 graus, utilizo um Walter coolers de 240.So dei três estrelas pela demora, Produto demorou 15 dias,o mesmo veio da China devido isso a demora,mas estava dentro do prazo de entrega.Muito satisfeito com o produto.

Having read and viewed many reviews on the 13trh gen (and 12th gen) Intel CPU Integrated Loading Mechanism (ILM) not allowing the heat spreader on thee chips to be optimally aligned with the cold plate face of either air or water cooled CPU heat sinks, I decided that I wanted to get one of these frames. My choice was either the Thermal Grizzly version or this Thermalright version. I am glad I purchased this Thermalright version as it is far easier to get a hold of, and is far cheaper than the Thermal Grizzly version. It is also for more straight forward to install as the ends of the frame are designed to touch the top of the PCB surface which automatically prevents the frame from exerting too much force on the CPU. Using this product gave me peace of mind that I was giving my CPU cooling solution it’s best chance to keep my 13th gen CPU as cool as possible.

معالجي i7 14700k ومركب عليه مبرد نوكتوا مع معجونه كانت الحراره توصل ل97 تحت الضغط القويبعد تركيب القطعه هاذي انخفضت الحراره من 97 الى 86 مع انه المعالج مازال جدا حار ولا سويت اندرفولت لكن الانخفاض جدا ممتاز وانصح بالقطعه
