ThermalrightLGA1700-BCF Black V2 CPU Anti-Bend Fixer, Intel 12/13/14 Gen Anti-Bend Fixing Fixture, Intel CPU Corrective Fixing Bracket, LGA17XX Corrective CPU Bender, LGA1700 Full Fit Fixer

I've been in Hi-tech mechanical & thermal design for decades with many a new CPU board in my design experiences. I've disliked the load the LGA socket frame design would put on a PCB since day 1 of that socket's intro and would try and augment our rather dense LGA based board designs around the CPU when I could. This inexpensive gem is an eye opener and I purchased one as soon as I saw it for a new build with a new MB with a new CPU after my venerable 5th Gen MB recently gave up it's ghost.It takes maybe 5-7 minutes to remove the LGA frame and install this along with your CPU. The bow in the PCB across the processor is nearly non-existent. I've also never seen a CPU run this cool using a forced air heat sink let alone this newer one at essentially double the TDP of its predecessor. Too many things changed on this new build to accurately determine what the full temperature drop contribution was. This new board included the use of a 6x6mm heat piped, single fin-stack heat sink and 15W/m-K thermal paste. My Core temp at idle is running a couple of degrees C above ambient and my local PCB temp is about 6C over that indicating a better transfer off the bottom of the chip & socket into the PCB. My guess is that when installed right with a really thin layer of a good thermal paste and clean/dry surfaces, its good for double digit improvement as others reviews have stated. My immediate reactions with this at first power up was literally, this temperature can't be right, but apparently it is.On an older 12th-13th-14th gen board with the bow at the CPU already "baked" in, your results probably won't be as good. Likewise, if you don't get rid of the little thread particles the typical cleaning pads leave behind prior to thermal paste application, you also won't see as much improvement as you could.For as little as this costs and for what it does, I highly recommend this as a standard feature for any build where Thermalright has a size match for your socket; currently AM4 & AM5, LGA 1700 and probably the 15th Gen 1851 socket (if not now, soon). 5 stars only because that's as high as you're allowed to go.

Did 5 resets with the Intel loader cpu is must better on surface print

If you are like me, and you let the intrusive thoughts win, then you too can install the Thermalright Contact Frame on a Zhaoxin KX-7000. Zhaoxin KX-7000's LGA 1700 socket is the same as Intel's. The contact frame looks awesome, and I'm a little sad it is covered by the heatsink.

It works, it lowered the temps of my 14900k by about 5 degrees.

It does the job. Great quality. Perfect contact frame.

I have no idea whether this will actually help or not. I've never had any issues with i9's bending over time. But hey, why not stick it on, right?I will say it was a bit of a challenge trying to install onto my Gigabyte motherboard. I didn't realize there were nuts on the back of the motherboard, so when I unscrewed the screws on the front, the bolts fell off into the PSU cage of my case. Probably a rookie mistake on my part... but I recommend getting the CPU and bracket installed before mounting into your case.

Easy to install and did its job

Lowered my i9 14900k temps by at least 6-10 degrees Fahrenheit under full gaming load. Max temp spiked are around 165 under stress 115 average
