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)

I didn’t notice a change to my thermals, but it makes my install look cleaner

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.

No instructions. Luckily I found a youtube video

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!

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.

This is my first build in 4.5 years, so this time around I wanted to do tons of research. Im installing a CPU water cooler for the first time ever and researching that a fair amount led me to these CPU brackets. Ive never been satisfied with the cheezy, light weight CPU brackets/fasteners which come standad on MBs. This seemed like a valuable asset for just $14. Im running a 13th Gen Intel on an MSI Z690 ACE MB. As you can see from the pic, the fit looks very clean and the aluminum bracket is well machined. I do not know if temps will be lowered vs the stock guillotine bracket but it sure holds the Intel in place far better. And that can only be good.

Luckily I stumbled upon a video from Gamers Nexus highlighting these. Bought one because why not. Easy to install and it feels like my cooler is more secure than ever. I am running a z790 board with an Intel 13700k. My temps havent even needed to kick the fans on full blast yet.

This product didnt reduce the temps too much, maybe 5C at full load. However, I got this product for the longevity of the CPU health. This way I can guarantee CPU bend doesnt happen over time.

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.

Works. Got my temps down a little bit.
