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)

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.

Excellent product.

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.

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.

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.

Works. Got my temps down a little bit.

I was skeptical, but after struggling with my OC 13700K temps despite custom loop I decided to give this a try. No change in ambient, test, or overclock with a 12 degree delta. 12 degrees for a ten minute installation is massive. Cinebench caps at 88 now when I was hitting 100 and throttling previously. 5.7ghz all core and happy.

Once I saw a video on this item, I decided to purchase one. It is as good, if not better than the name-brand one. Dont waste your money getting a name-brand one. This one does a great job keeping the CPU flat and has proper contact wth your cooling device.

No instructions. Luckily I found a youtube video

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.
