Thermalright LGA1851 CPU Contact Frame - Optimized CPU Contact Pressure, LGA 1851 ILM Bending Correct Frame for Intel Core Ultra Series CPU LGA1851 Sockets

Best

A must have accessory!

This thing is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Reduced my Temps by alot. Even with my decently Overclocked 265K. I thought I had a really horribly binned chip but it I had suspicions about the cpu and cooler mounting. Even at stock configs my CPU would just spike all the way up to 98C with Cinebench23. A slight overclock and it would just shutdown. I have a decent 360mm AIO and I tried repasting, trying outher thermal paste, etc. Turns out this was the solution. Amazing product. Even with a somewhat High OC it wont even go past 90C at full load.

Pues cumple. Realmente es bueno, Pero si tuve que colocarle dos tiras de plástico como aislante en la base por qué es completamente metal y puede dañar las pistas de electrónica que hay entre las ram y el cpu. Hay que ser meticuloso a la hora de ejercer presión con su destornillador.

Absolute must, for LGA1700, LGA1851, and even AM5. Please watch Gamers Nexus tutorial on how to install these. Or at very least, gauge the torque with your tool of choice and do your best to mimic the same torque. If you tighten it too much, you can break the socket/motherboard, but I've done 5 or 6 of these now and for the few dollars they cost, they are an absolute must for me. Installation is a little scary, so it's recommended to put the CPU in the socket before you do anything at all, to protect the pins just incase you accidently bump them with your screw driver or the ILM bracket. Then remove intel/amd stock ILM, and install this with the very same torque. I found that tightening it to where you start to feel resistance, and then another turn to make it snug is perfect. This has a double utility property. First is that it will stop INTEL CPUS from bending over time with the stock ILM, which can and does happen. Second and worth the money alone, is that it will stop thermal paste from seeping down into the side of the CPU and socket. So if you apply too much thermal paste, no worries. Easy to clean and manage, and it looks so much better than the stock ILM. I cannot recommend this enough for the money it costs ($7.99 when I purchased). Make sure you buy the correct contact frame also, this is crucial. Once installed it feels like your cooler/ AIO makes better contact, it's just a clean feel and appearance that provide utility and use for a few dollars. They make these for all modern sockets, so compatability should not be an issue, and it may seem redundant to apply them to square CPUs like the AM5, but ide say it's absolutely worth it. Also make sure orientation is correct, as you can break your socket/cpu if you don't check the arrow for how it seats over the CPU. Highly recommend!

Took my old PC to a tech shop. We got to talking and the guy suggested a contact frame. When I built my new pc I bought this one. Works well and better then the standard frame motherboards come with. My brother ended up buying one too after I told him about it. Does keep temps a little cooler too. Would highly recommend. Cheap and very effective worth the 15 bucks.
