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 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.

I 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.

Fácil instalación (tienes que ser extremadamente cuidadoso) se instaló con un procesador y motherboard nuevo, ayudó bastante en las temperaturas

Combined this plate with a very slight undervolt on my 13700k and now its maxes out around 85C as opposed to thermal throttling before. 100% these plates are essential for keeping new Intel cpu temps under control.

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

Work as advertised, easy to install.

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

Corrected a warp that caused uneven cooling. Works great to properly secure the processor and allow for proper mounting of a cooling solution. Made from aluminum not plastic. Remains straight under pressure.

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.
