Here's a ranking of the best products in this category. To give you a quick overview, we've also added some key information about the products.
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.

3. Thermal Grizzly CPU Contact Frame 1700
The Thermal Grizzly CPU Contact Frame 1700 is a specialized bracket designed for use with Intel motherboards featuring the LGA1700 socket. This accessory optimizes the contact between the CPU and the cooling system, resulting in improved heat transfer and more efficient cooling. The frame is made from high-quality materials to ensure durable and reliable performance. Its precise construction optimizes the contact pressure of the CPU, which can enhance the overall performance of the system. The CPU Contact Frame is an essential component for anyone looking to maximize efficiency from their computer, whether for gaming, professional applications, or everyday use.
- Optimizes contact between CPU and cooling system
- Improves heat transfer for more efficient cooling
- Compatible with Intel motherboards featuring LGA1700 socket.

4. Thermal Grizzly TG Intel 1851 CPU Contact Frame V1
Improved Cooling Performance through Mounting Frame
The Intel 1851 CPU Contact Frame serves as a mounting aid and replaces the original Integrated Loading Mechanism (ILM) of the motherboard. With an optimized clamping pressure, it contributes to improved cooling performance of the CPU coolers.
Overclocking to the Limit
The Intel LGA 1851 CPU Contact Frame replaces the ILM of the motherboard. A special internal contour shifts the clamping pressure from the center to the edges during installation, preventing a concave bulge of the CPU. This increases the potential contact area with the CPU cooler, allowing for better coverage of the hotspot.

5. Corsair iCUE LINK LCD Module, Black
