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)

Works as advertised definitely dropped temps byba few degrees only thig I wish I did not say Intel 12 gen on it not really needed and especially when your using it on a 13th gen

Las nuevas generaciones de Intel tienen la característica de llevar temperaturas elevadas, además que el Bracket instalado para soportarlo en la tarjeta madre ejerce una presión asimétrica del CPU a los Pines, esto ocasiona que con el tiempo las temperaturas hagan un Ablandamiento en la superficie total del CPU, no habría problema si el bracket que soporta al CPU ejerciera una presión simétrica sobre la superficie comoleta de éste, sin embargo las áreas con altra presion comienzan a doblarse sobre aquellas que no cuentan con la presión suficiente, al momento de instalarlo fue super sencillo, las temperaturas de mi i7-12700k no superan los 35 grados en tareas simples y a máxima exigencia no supera los 71°C, es una inversión muy buena y prevenir el daño sobre una pieza tan importante como el cpu vale la pena.

Overall, Good frame, unfortunately I took off my old thermal grizzly (TG) paste and I went from an idle of 35⁰ to 42⁰ on a 13700k. So I reseated the cooler, same story. Finally I went to my microcenter and in a last ditch effort got more TG. After applying it, my cpu dropped to a cool 30⁰ this frame cost a fraction of TGs and gave me a 5⁰ drop and under load got my cpu to stop thermal throttling (on a liquid cooled system mind you)

Look I realize Thermal Grizzly basically thought of these as a solution for the 1700 socket bend but they’re super expensive and hard to find in the States. And yes, there are even some builders that believe these contact frames are just a trend and are nothing more than a security blanket for a nonissue. And in same cases that’s absolutely true. Some CPUs IHS are perfectly fine with the socket bend I had 4 that were completely fine with or without the contact frame. But after 15 builds with extreme socket bend making for poor contact with heatsinks I can say this helps more often than not. This contact frame has lowered temps by upwards of 8C on my builds and yes I tested each one. So yes, in my professional opinion Intel created a problem, never addressed it and these are the best solution, especially for anything Core i7 and up. The fact that Thermal Right created these at such a reasonable price and are indeed just as effective as Thermal Grizzly’s (check Gamers Nexus) seems too good to be true, but as I’ve said I’ve used these on 15 builds and they’re worth every penny.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
