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)

This thing is so simple to install . Not expensive, but works like a charm.

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.

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.

Rather easy to install, I removed the motherboard from the case, and removed all my RAM. It might be doable without taking the motherboard out of the case but I didnt want to try it.

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

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!

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.

If you have a 12th or 13th gen processor, this is a must have. I installed this frame on two different computers and it dropped temps by at least 8 degrees on each. Install is super easy if you follow the steps in the Gamers Nexus youtube video.

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