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)

facil instalacion y cumple su funcion

No instructions. Luckily I found a youtube video

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

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.

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 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!

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.

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.

As per gamers nexus and jays two cents, this provided a better pressure distribution on my cpu. Low profile and more reliable than the stock bracket

Multiple cores of my i9-12900KS CPU always peaked at 100 degC during Cinebench R23 multi-core tests conducted at 21 degC ambient. I tried several thermal paste application methods/patterns, ...but following AIO pump assembly removal, the paste residue pattern was always evenly distributed with no evidence of CPU IHS cover bending/warping from the motherboards standard LGA1700 CPU mounting solution.
