Thermalright LGA1700-BCF Black 12/13/14 Generation Intel Anti-Bending Fastener, Bending Type Pressure Plate, CPU Fixed Fastener, Full-Fitting Fixed Non-Marking Installation, Standard for Coolers

This anti-bending fastener is a must-have for anyone building with Intel's 12th, 13th, or 14th Gen CPUs. Installation was straightforward, thanks to the included L-shaped screwdriver. After installing it on my system, I noticed a significant improvement in thermal performance, with CPU temperatures dropping by up to 12°C under load . The build quality is top-notch, featuring an anodized aluminum alloy that ensures durability and a sleek appearance. Overall, it's a small investment that offers substantial benefits in terms of performance and hardware protection

The Thermalright LGA1700-BCF anti-bending fastener was exactly what I needed to resolve contact issues with my Noctua cooler. Installation was easy, and it fit perfectly without leaving marks or damaging my CPU or motherboard. Whether or not this has any thermal benefits remains to be seen, but that wasn't the intent of my purchase. This fastener improved the contact between the cooler and the CPU, ensuring even pressure and better thermal performance. It’s a simple and effective solution, especially for those experiencing uneven contact on their CPUs. For the price, it’s an excellent investment to enhance cooling and prevent potential bending issues. Highly recommend this for anyone facing similar problems!

For reference, please search for GamerNexus youtube findings on "Intel bending" heat spreader issue. Basically, due to the standard motherboard CPU retention mechanisms for Intel, the CPU could be "bent" concave slightly such that contact to your CPU cooler, whether air cooled or water cooled, is not optimal. Everything will work fine but you may get higher temps because of this. To rectify this, it was recommended to use a CPU frame like this one. There's a nice more expensive German made brand from Thermal Grizzly. I went with this one because of two things: 1) it's cheaper 2) the install was easier as it doesn't "float" like the Thermal Grizzly. For install, it's kinda fool proof. You re-use the screws from the motherboard's ILM. And you simply screw it down, catty-corner, until the screws stop. The Thermal Grizzly requires precise number of turns, etc. and you could overtighten and bend CPU pins, etc. For this Thermalright, it was pretty dang EASY. BTW, GamerNexus reviewed both Thermal Grizzly and Thermalright CPU frames. Both recommended and he had a hard time finding any cons with this one. As for temps?? Keep in mind I'm air cooled (Noctura DH-15S), not water cooled. I have this on an Intel 13900KF (no overclocking, actually undervolted) - at idle I'm easily at 29-30 C for all P-cores. I've read others with stock setup easily at 38-42 C!! Literally, for the price paid for this it's nearly a dollar per degree C improvement. SO WORTH IT!!! My temps beat some people's water cooled setup. It's crazy. One of the BEST investments you can make if you have an Intel 12th gen, 13th gen, and later gen processor!!!! HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend it!!! You will not regret it!

Worked exactly like the instruction video. I have noticed temps 5-10c lower since installing it. If your on LGA-1700, just go ahead and get this. It will make your life much cooler. It also looks great in the case with your other PC parts. Don't be intimidated by the installation, it's just putting 4 screws in. It will most likely improve the longevity of your CPU by keeping it's temps much lower.

This co tactical frame is an excellent value. It reduces the temperature of my overclocked i9-12900k by 10⁰C to 25⁰C depending on the circumstances and workload. For gaming, my 12900k used to run around 60⁰C-70⁰C on the package and now it runs 40⁰C-50⁰C. This gives me a lot more thermal headroom to see if I can push my overclock higher and keep stability. Installation was very quick and easy if yourr an experienced PC builder. If you've never opened up your PC before, you should still be able to handle the installation. GamersNexus has an excellent YouTube video on these products including installation. 100% worth the money!

Everything working fine. Thanks

Easy install

Great for keeping temps cool

1. Genuine product. Verified personally using the code given on the packaging. 2. Useful for Intel LGA 1700 socket CPU. 3. Keeps temperature within control.

Work as described

الصراحه نفس الي بصوره والجوده باين ممتازه انصحكم فيه ونصيحه مني الي بيشتري دي القطعه في منها اجي مع معجون مبرد هذيك لاتشتريها المعجون لا تستخدمه اشترو لحال المعجون انصحكم ب معجون كورسير اتوقع بعد كورسير تكملة الكتابه اكس 70 شي كذا انصحكم فيه

Viene en una caja pequeña con su destornillador (una barra de metal con forma de L), dado que el ILM original viene con tornillos oficiales. Las instrucciones son más de adorno, no son muy explicativas. Recomiendo el tutorial de Der8auer para instalarlo, dado que existen personas que hay destruído su procesador y placa madre al instalarlo o tienen problemas para reconocer las RAM. Grosso modo, usen el sentido común: 1. Colocar la placa de fijación del disipador 2. Abrir el ILM original 3. Colocar el procesador 4. Quitar el ILM original manteniendo el orden de los tornillos 5. Colocar el marco de Thermaltake 6. Colocar el tornillo, y dar vueltas como si se quisiera desatornillar 7. Cuando se escuche un clic, dar media vuelta para atornillar 8. Repetir en todos los tornillos 9. Girar con dos dedos usando el eje del destornillador hasta que muestren resistencia, hacerlo por tornillo. 10. Atornillar dando un 1/4 de vuelta a la vez por tornillo, apoyándose con el "mango" de destornillador, hasta que se sienta una ligera resistencia.

Ürün harika işini yapıyor. Tereddüt etmiştim ama en az 8-10 derece daha az ısınıyor işlemci. Kesinlikle stok işlemci tutucudan daha iyi. Tavsiye ederim.
