Thermalright AM5 Secure Frame Black V2 CPU Holder, AM5 Corrective Anti-Bending Fixing Avoiding capacitors, AM5 Secure Frame, AM5 Anti-Bending Contact Frame(ASF Black V2)

I was having vram issues and thought that maybe it could be a CPU Issue so I got this to make sure even pressure was distributed around the chip the red dram light has turned off since installing the contact frame it was very easy to install following the steps of leaving the CPU in place unscrewing the 4 screws and then dropping in the contact frame no difference in cooling but it seem to make the dram issue go away for now will update later if issue returns but in anycase it would not be the contact frames fault so I would recommend this to anyone looking to secure there then 7000 series CPU it fit perfectly on my 7600x the price was incredible for what was received and it looks great to bad the cooling fan covers it up.

Fits perfectly on my AM5 setup with a Gigabyte Aorus X870 Mobo, and Ryzen 7 7700. It also made thermal paste application much easier and cleaner. I really like how it cleans up the appearance of the system, looking much nicer than the OE retention bracket. I haven't noticed any difference in temps vs. the old retention bracket, but overall this is very high quality and worth every penny.

Works perfect and looks awesome too! Must have for AM5 to reduce thermal paste mess.

What else can I say? This is exactly what it says it is. It’s a very well made solid contact plate for the AM5 socket. It fits perfectly, comes with the tools for installation, and is super easy to install. I’ve had this for about 6 months now and have had 0 issues. If you’re looking at these reviews then you are already know what you’re looking to do. The price is better than all the rest and it will do exactly what it’s supposed to do.

Easy as pie to install. Even though you can't see it when the cooler is installed over it, I think it just makes a great look and helps protect your expensive CPU.

Holds down CPU just fine, but did not align perfectly with top surface of the CPU. Some versions came with a gasket, this one did not.Works 95% as intended.

Fit my ASUS TUF GAMING B850M-PLUS WIFI with AMD Ryzen 9600X without issue. The install was quick and easy, just be careful not to get thermal paste on the edges. It can take some effort to clean things up.

I use these "stiffenrs" where ever I can. They appear very solid and capable of many positive purposes. Heat transfer, cooling fan stabilizer and of course flex reducer.
