Review: If you have this platform and a good cpu, just get one of these. - Getting one for every lga1700 socket I have. The thermal paste is good, the stability helps for oeace of mind (no bent cpu or motherboard), and the temps are a tony bit easier to amange. A big bonus is the ease of re-application for thermal paste.
Review: Just get it - I had the typical Intel CPU retainer on my MB which, with research, would give you unequal pressure on the chipset resulting in higher CPU temps. For those with the 13700 series, we are all struggling to keep the temps down to respectable numbers. Not only did this get rid of the standard CPU retainer, but it looks and performs much better. Pros: Installation was a breeze. Look at GamersNexus YouTube video for installation so you create equal pressure when tightening down. Temps are brought down as of now. I’m still verifying that with extensive use so I’m not providing initial temp numbers. Quality is very good. I got the black to match my MB. Seems to be CNC machine metal. Cons: None as of now. Just get it. It will only improve your CPU temps, especially at this low price.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this be compatible with 13th gen Raptor Lake and z790 motherboards?**
A: Although the seller responded that this product is not compatible with new Z790 motherboards, both of Intel's 12th & 13th Gen CPUs use Socket LGA1700. Also, Intel's 12th Gen & 13th Gen CPUs are physically identical, as 12th Gen CPUs will work in the newer Z790 boards. We can safely infer that this product should indeed work on any LGA1700 socket motherboard, even the Z790 motherboards not yet released at the time of this writing.

**Q: Can Liquid Metal thermal paste be used, I.E. Thermal Grizzly's Conductonaut Liquid Metal? I've heard that since the bracket is anodized not conductive**
A: Best paste for the money right now is the Arctic MX-6 for 12th and 13th Gen processors. Save yourself $$$...Thermal Grizzly is overpriced, IMO and a waste of money to save a degree or two. The Thermalright bracket holds the CPU in place and sits slightly below the thermal surface area of the CPU. It does not come in contact with heatsinks so conductive thermal material is not of concern with this bracket.

**Q: Can you use this along with an assassin x 120 r se? the mobo is a pro b660-a**
A: Can be used, bcf is used on the cpu, no matter what radiator you use is not affected

**Q: Will this work with rockitcool's custom copper ihs?**
A: It should fit.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy install process and more importantly, peace of mind
*by L***Z on April 2, 2024*

What worried me the most was the possibility of bending the motherboard or the processor due to Intel's lever mechanism. After installing this brace from Thermalright the temperature dropped by 4-6°C compared to what is was before (also using the Thermalright Assassin 120 SE air cooler). Not a huge difference now but in the long run it does pay off. I combined it with MX-4 thermal paste, but FYI this kit actually included a tube of thermalright TF7 thermal compound. The installation process is straightforward if you know what you're doing. It's delicate but not complicated. As long as you don't expose the socket by leaving the processor in place, follow the recommended cross-pattern tightening of the screws, and only tighten them until minimal force is reached, you should be fine. It worked perfectly for me on the first try. --Highly Recommend, Especially Considering the Low Price, ease of installation, and more importantly, peace of mind-- I hope this helps! If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask.
