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)

Excellent product.

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.

decided 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.

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.

I have to say that this new approach to CPU retention has been an amazing surprise. After reading reviews from some well-recognized testing & bench-marking experts, I decided to give it a try. Installation following the online video was simple. After installing the CPU cooler and running it under monitoring software at high-demand usage for several hours, I noticed a real drop in CPU temps!! I am sold!

Works. Got my temps down a little bit.

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.

I tried this modification because I didnt like how much torque was being applied to my CPU when using the stock fastener. I am not sure if it was actually bending the chip but it was under too much pressure in my opinion. Temps improved slightly. Easy to remove original and install and looks cleaner than original silver clamp. Comes with tool to remove and reinstall screws.

Hello 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

This does what its supposed to do!
