## Description

Thermalright CPU Contact Frame for Lga 1700 Retrofit Kit 17Xx-Bcf Bracket Intel 12. 13 US

Review: With Intel CPU's running so hot in the 12th, 13th and 14th gen CPUs you need this contact frame to not only help keep your CPU and Motherboard from bending due to the length of these new CPUs, or the uneven pressure when users tighten down their coolers. I bought this for two reasons, first to keep my CPU and motherboard safe and second to get the benefits of better CPU temperatures. And I was not disappointed. I used this with my MSI Z690-A WiFi motherboard and Intel 12700KF CPU. My normal temps on my CPU at idle in Windows was 37 to 39 degree Celsius. After I installed the frame my temps were 27 to 28 degrees C. A full 10 degrees difference! Well worth the cost and time to install. If you are doing a new system build I would highly recommend this for your builds.
Review: I have a i7 13700kf and have noticed since i got it that the temps while idle and gaming are extremely high. ive tried everything with fan curves and the like. While all that has made some change in lowering the temps i still felt more could be done. Thats how i came across this product. It is extremely easy to install and even comes with instructions just in case youre a little unsure. Once i booted up into a game, ive noticed my cpu temps have often been a few degrees lower than my GPU! My GPU only gets 65-70 degrees on 1440p gaming so the fact my CPU has shown lower temps is mind blowing! GET ONE TODAY!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: anybody use this on 13th gen yet ?**
A: Hi this frame can use on 13th gen.

**Q: What screws (eu size) do i need for z790 motherboards with 10 layers? as included ones seem too short.**
A: The screws you use are the ones you had with the factory ILM of your motherboard. This is only meant to replace the spring-tension system part of the CPU's securing mechanism. You still use the backplane and screws that came with the ILM of your motherboard.

**Q: What if I have had my 12700k on my mobo a little less than a year now, will it still be alright to try and use this now?**
A: Yes, and I would highly recommend it. My temps dropped quite a lot. A year is a good time to replace the thermal paste also.

**Q: How is it different from the $3 cheaper one at https://www.amazon.com/thermalright-generation-anti-bending-correction-installation/dp?**
A: The only difference I can detect is the color.  Some buyers may prefer the OG, which is black.  It is the same frame so the price differential isn't due to the design.

*by S***S on 11 April 2025*

Un super accessoire à installer sur son CPU. J'étais un peu septique de la plus-value de ce type d'appareil mais après avoir regardé plusieurs vidéos à ce sujet, je me suis laissé tenté et je ne suis pas déçu ! J'ai perdu entre 5 à 8° sur mes températures et, même si ce n'est pas très important, ça apporte un look vachement sympa au CPU. Je recommande ce produit.
