Made from durable anodized aluminum and designed by renowned overclocker der8auer, it ensures improved heat dissipation and easy installation. Compatible with LGA 1700/1800 sockets, this German-engineered frame is a must-have upgrade for serious PC builders seeking lower temperatures and cleaner builds. ## Description Buy Review: The best quality - Easy to install and max temp of the processor 13700k drop down Review: Well-Made Frame - Really good quality contact frame. I’ve heard these can improve thermals on 14th gen chips, but unfortunately it didn’t make much difference on my 14700K. That said, it definitely makes the build look much tidier compared to the stock ILM. Installation was as simple as it gets, and the fit is spot-on. If my motherboard had any issues with uneven pressure between the CPU and cooler, I’m sure this would’ve helped. I trust Thermal Grizzly products in general, and this feels like another well-made bit of kit. I’d still recommend it overall. ## Features - OPTIMIZED COOLING PERFORMANCE - Designed to improve the contact pressure, enhancing the cooling performance of CPU coolers and resulting in lower CPU temperatures - EASY INSTALLATION - Quick and hassle-free installation process, making it simple to upgrade your CPU cooling performance in just a few steps - PREMIUM MATERIALS - Made of anodized aluminum, ensuring durability and high product quality - DESIGNED BY DER8AUER - Developed in collaboration with renowned overclocker Roman "der8auer" Hartung and manufactured in Berlin - 100% Made in Germany - IMPROVED CONTACT - Special inner contour for optimal pressure distribution, preventing the concave curvature of the Integrated Heatspreader (IHS) and providing a larger contact area for more efficient heat dissipation ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0C6B233J2 | | Best Sellers Rank | 8,681 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 442 in Components & Replacement Parts | | Brand | Thermal Grizzly | | CPU Socket | LGA 1700 or LGA 1800 | | Cooler Heatsink Compatibility | Intel 1700 | | Cooler Heatsink Material | Aluminium | | Country Of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (770) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04260711990748 | | Included Components | 1 product | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 7L x 5W x 0.6H centimetres | | Item Type Name | Contact frame | | Manufacturer | Thermal Grizzly | | Mounting Type | Frame Mount | | Product Warranty | 2 year manufacturer | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Thermal Grizzly - **Cooler heat sink material:** Aluminium - **Cooler heatsink compatibility:** Intel 1700 - **Mounting type:** Frame Mount - **Product dimensions:** 7L x 5W x 0.6H centimetres ## Images ![CPU Contact Frame Intel 13th & 14th Generation - For Optimized CPU Contact Pressure To Improve The Cooling Performance - Easy Install - by der8auer - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61a0tUTqJgL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Model** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How do you know if the screws are on tight enough? is there a click sound? i hear complaints that the stock ilm screws are to short? any advice?** A: One of the things this product has over cheaper versions is the witness marks included around each screw hole. You mark your screw, and then turn the screw 1/4 intervals until you feel a light tension, then 1 more quarter turn. JAYZTWOCENTS did a great video on it. **Q: Does this come with screws? I received mine but no scews** A: You are expected to use the screws that are currently holding your ILM mechanism. On some motherboards, these can be a bit short to comfortably secure the frame, so you could try finding slightly longer ones (UNC 6-32). I used a set of longer screws to first pre-secure the frame, then one by one replace them with the original screws, and only then properly tighten things. **Q: Made in the same Chinese factory as the 12 dollar frames? Yes.** A: No, Thermal Grizzly Contact Frame is produced in Germany in Berlin. The quality is different. The material is high quality, the processing is better and the QM is not comparable with that from China. **Q: Will this work with the msi z790 d4 boards?** A: It'll work with any Z790 board you'll likely need to buy longer screws though ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best quality *by B***N on 1 March 2026* Easy to install and max temp of the processor 13700k drop down ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well-Made Frame *by M***L on 28 November 2025* Really good quality contact frame.
