Thermal Grizzly CPU Contact Frame Intel 13th/14th Gen LGA1700 Black

The Thermal Grizzly CPU Contact Frame Intel 13th/14th Gen is an anodized aluminium mounting frame that replaces the stock Integrated Loading Mechanism (ILM) of an LGA1700 motherboard. It was designed together with Roman "der8auer" Hartung and is made in Berlin, Germany.

The standard ILM presses on the middle of the elongated CPU and makes the Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS) bend concavely, so the cooler base rests mainly on the edges. The frame shifts the pressure to the CPU edges, avoids the bending and enlarges the contact area with the cooler, so CPU temperatures can drop noticeably. It fits Intel Core 12th, 13th and 14th Gen processors.

Key features

• Even contact pressure - A special inner contour moves the pressure from the CPU center to its edges and prevents concave IHS bending.
• Lower CPU temperatures - The cooler rests better on the CPU, and the larger contact area improves heat transfer.
• Easy installation - Installs in a few steps, with no specific tightening torque needed, unlike the previous version.
• Wide compatibility - Fits Intel 12th, 13th and 14th Gen LGA1700 CPUs, including CPUs with an IHS ground down by up to 0.2 mm.
• Anodized aluminium - A durable black aluminium frame, designed by der8auer and made in Germany.
