1. Thermal Grizzly AM5 Contact & Sealing Frame

Combination of contact frame and CPU guard

The AM5 Contact & Sealing Frame is a combination of contact frame and CPU guard for AMD's Ryzen 7000 processors. As a contact frame, the AM5 Contact & Sealing Frame creates optimal contact pressure of the CPU into the socket, while an optional inlay made of silicone foam serves to protect the exposed components on the CPU.
- Encloses the heat spreader
- Replaces the SAM of the mainboard
- Made of anodized aluminum

Optimized inner contour for even pressure distribution

The precision-milled inner contour of the AM5 Contact & Sealing Frame creates multiple contact points to the heat spreader compared to the standard SAM. These contact points distribute the contact pressure on the CPU evenly. This ensures that the contact surfaces of the CPU rest uniformly on the pins of the socket. For example, problems with the detection of system memory can be avoided this way.

Innovative silicone foam inlay for protection and sealing

The AM5 Contact & Sealing Frame comes with a silicone foam inlay. This can be placed on the PCB of the processor, similar to the AMD Ryzen 7000 CPU guard. When installing the AM5 Contact & Sealing Frame, the gap between the heat spreader and the aluminum frame is sealed by the silicone foam by pressing the foam onto the PCB. This prevents thermal paste or liquid metal from getting onto the CPU's unprotected components. The foam inlay is optional when used with thermal pastes, but mandatory when used with liquid metal.

User-friendly assembly with clear marking and compatibility

To simplify installation, there is a corresponding marking on the top of the AM5 Contact & Sealing Frame. Since the socket has a bulge on the upper edge, mounting is only possible in one orientation. Four screws are included for mounting the frame and compatibility with the Thermal Grizzly AM5 backplates is given. 

2. Thermal Grizzly Grizzly Intel 12th Gen CPU Contact Frame

The CPU Contact Frame for Intel 13th and 14th generation processors is an essential accessory for water cooling systems, replacing the original Integrated Loading Mechanism (ILM) of the motherboard. This mounting aid optimizes the clamping pressure, significantly improving cooling performance. Due to the altered dimensions of the Intel Raptor Lake processors and the associated changes to the LGA1700 socket, new mounting brackets are required. The standard ILM only has contact points in the center of the CPU, leading to uneven pressure distribution and a concave bulge of the Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS). The CPU Contact Frame shifts the clamping pressure from the center to the edges, achieving a uniform pressure distribution and a larger contact area with the CPU cooler. This allows for better coverage of the thermal hotspot and optimizes cooling performance, especially in overclocking applications.

Highlights:
- Made from high-quality aluminum for durability and optimal heat conduction
- Supports Intel LGA1700 socket, compatible with 13th and 14th generation processors
- Improves cooling performance through uniform pressure distribution and larger contact area.

8. Thermal Grizzly TG-CF-i12G

The Intel 12th and 13th Gen CPU Contact Frame is a mounting aid that replaces the original Integrated Loading Mechanism (ILM) of the motherboard to enable better cooling performance from CPU coolers through optimized pressure distribution. Due to the altered dimensions of the Intel Alder Lake processors (Intel Core 12th Gen) and Raptor Lake (Intel Core 13th Gen) for the Intel LGA1700 socket compared to the socket-1200 processors, as well as the accompanying changes to the socket dimensions, new mounting brackets for CPU coolers have become necessary. Additionally, the standard ILM only has contact points in the center of the elongated CPU. This results in uneven pressure distribution of the processor in the socket, causing the surface of the Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS) to curve concavely, which means that the base plate of the CPU cooler primarily makes contact at the edges of the IHS, leaving the thermal hotspot in the center of the CPU uncovered. 

9. Thermal Grizzly AM5 Adapter & Offset Mounting Kit

The practical AM5 adapter and offset mounting kit for AMD Socket AM5 motherboards includes cooler brackets for offset mounting of the CPU, as well as adapter screws from UNC 6-32 to M3 and M4 threads. With the help of the adapter screws, CPU coolers that require an M3 or M4 thread instead of the UNC 6-32 thread of the cooler mounting screws can be installed, as is the case with various AIOs or water coolers.

The offset brackets allow compatible CPU coolers to be optionally mounted off-center on the processor to optimize cooling performance. Since the introduction of the chiplet design in Ryzen CPUs, the hottest point of the heat spreader is no longer in the center but has been slightly shifted downwards and outward depending on the CPU. With the help of the offset brackets, the CPU cooler can be mounted closer to the hotspot of the processor, allowing heat to be dissipated more quickly and efficiently from the CPU chiplets.

The offset brackets feature UNC 6-32 threads and can be used with the adapter screws for M3/M4 threads. The AM5 adapter and offset mounting kit also increases compatibility when mounting CPU coolers using the Thermal Grizzly Ryzen 7000 Direct Die frames. Due to the modified mounting height for direct die cooling, the cooler needs to be mounted lower, which is made possible by the M3 and M4 adapter screws.

Technical details:
- For compatible AM5 motherboards
- Offset mounting of the CPU cooler
- Increased compatibility with CPU coolers
- Easy installation.
