Thermalright CPU Contact Frame Installation

Viewers: Bro! Put your CPU on before removing the cover!!

Put the CPU in first to avoid damaging the pins 👍

I hope there will be also contact frames for sale for older sockets like the LGA 1366

I thought about installing one of these for a while and I've decided not to bother with it. The stock bracket carries less risk even if the thermals are slightly worse.

TY, I mounted CPU then unscrewed like this video, worked. Been a hot minute since the last one I installed.

How to void your warranty *Speedrun IMPOSSIBLE!!!

shouldve left the cpu in there first , minimise the risk of damage the socket.

Great idea to turn screws in equal, small increments starting at screw thread "reverse click"

The mounting bolt tension on the contact frame is more or less irrelevant as long as the bolts are snug. The CPU coldplate mounting bolts will have much higher torque and will likely override the ILM bolts. Use a calibrated torque driver to mount the CPU coldplate in order to end up with consistent and even CPU socket seating depth at 0.6N-m. The contact frame is replacing the ILM, which primarily seats the CPU to full socket seating depth via the high tension (enough to bend the IHS slightly) ILM spring clamp.

Is this required for B760 motherboard?

should the cpu socket backplate stay or should i remove it?

Looks easy but what keeps the backplate in place? Mine fell right off.

This basically answered my question. Thanks a lot.

Thanks for the video! However, you should always keep the CPU or the original plastic cover over the socket while replacing the frame to avoid damage to the extremely sensitive pins.

0 measuring ur under tightening or over tightening

Thanks. I was confused looking at instructions that came with the frame.

Bro you are a mad man removing the stock retention bracket like that. I can't remember the last time I felt so tense.

install the cpu first so there are no problems...

My screws don’t lock in place idk what to do
