Thermalright ASF-Black AM5 CPU Holder, Corrective Anti-Bending Fixing Frame, AM5 Full-fit Fixed Non-Marking Mounter, AM5 Anti-Bending Contact Frame, CPU Cooler Standard

Product Quality - 5/5 Installation - 5/5 (Quick and Easy) Price - 5/5 (bought it for around 1400 Rs but you can get it for cheaper during offers) Been using it for more than a year and have re installed it 3 times till now. Works perfectly as described and very easy to install. Will recommend it to all

Genuine Product It fits perfectly on AM5 Ryzen chips. Easy to install. No changes in temperatures.

Easy to install and at the time it was needed because of burning of CPU. Value for money item gives great cooling regardless having a air cooler with hell of cpu ryzen 7 cpu

Nice product

This is actually good one 🔥🔥🔥

I bought it to prevent the bending of CPU PCB and better contact of the cooler with the IHS! The temperatures have mostly been unaffected by it!

Received exactly what I ordered, Thermalright's AM5 frame, in it oroginal packaging. Frame is made of aluminium, as expected. Additionally, has 4 screws, allen key for the screws, a tube of thermal paste and documentation.

No se puede pedir mas, esta placa es necesaria.

Araştırdıktan sonra ürünün termal seviyede bir etkisinin olmadığını görsem de(intelde olduğu gibi) AM5 işlemcilerdeki farklı girinti çıkıntılardan dolayı aralara termal macun kaçıyor ve temizlemesi çok zorlaşıyor. Bu ürün tüm işlemciyi çerçevelediğinden dolayı macunu daha sonra temizlemek istediğinizde ya da işlemciyi sökmeniz gereken durumlarda aralara macun kaçmasını engelliyor.

I have built four AM5 builds now for my home PC's (two 7600x and two 7800x3D) and each time I buy one of these. I dislike the odd design of the 7000 series integrated heat spreader as it is far harder to clean up thermal compound when uninstalling a CPU. I looked into what could help and ended up going with these as a inexpensive very well engineered mounting plate that performs multiple slight benefits. Certainly this isn't needed but for me thanks to the low cost I buy them anyway. 1.) Less thermal compound is true, it doesn't make a perfect seal but compound doesn't get down as far on the cpu making it easier to clean up when moving the CPU to a new build or selling it. 2.) Certainly provides even pressure completely around the CPU unlike factory method where it pushes down at two spots. 3.) Might even help with temps with possibly not flexing the CPU thanks to the even pressure. 4.) It just looks great and in some builds you can actually see this behind the cooler which is a bonus as it looks amazing. None of these are HUGE reasons to buy one but they are nice to have and I plan on buying them when more of my AM4 systems are moved over to AM5. Update: A negative is they don’t clean up well. I am using MX6 compound and it doesn’t wipe off clean off these plates. And not because of the weird AM5 notched cpu design but just the flat surface of these kinda stain almost from compound. Even using 99% rubbing alcohol. Future designs should consider a surface that can wipe 100% clean like the IHS on the cpu that cleans up well. Not a deal breaker but part of the allure of these is a nice look but that goes away the first time you try to clean up compound off of it.

easy to install and cheap and do the job

Replacing the original retention arm with this frame was incredibly simple and straightforward (just use the included tool!). The fit and finish are excellent, and it provides much-needed peace of mind when using a heavy AIO cooler. I feel my CPU is much more secure and stable now. A small investment for better peace of mind.
