The Thermal Grizzly Intel 1851 CPU Contact Frame V1 is a mounting aid for Intel motherboards with the LGA1851 socket.
The Thermal Grizzly Intel 1851 CPU Contact Frame V1 is a mounting aid for Intel motherboards with the LGA1851 socket.
The new Intel LGA 1851 socket has a slightly different positioning of the processor that made the previous-generation LGA 1700 socket contact frame incompatible. With that in mind, Thermal Grizzly releases the Intel 1851 CPU Contact Frame V1 especially designed for the latest Intel socket.
The Thermal Grizzly Intel 1851 CPU Contact Frame V1 is a mounting aid for Intel motherboards with the LGA1851 socket. The contact frame replaces the standard ILM of the motherboard, optimizing the pressure applied to the CPU in the socket. This improves heat transfer from the CPU heat spreader to the CPU cooler.
The Intel 1851 CPU Contact Frame V1 is a specialized mounting accessory for Intel LGA 1851 motherboards, designed to address the concave bending of the CPU’s Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS) caused by the standard Integrated Loading Mechanism (ILM). Ensuring better contact between the CPU cooler and the IHS, it significantly improves cooling performance. Made from anodized aluminium, the frame is easy to install, requiring the removal of the motherboard’s ILM. Depending on the cooler and CPU used, it can reduce processor temperatures by up to 6°C, especially when replacing the standard ILM.
Compatible with Intel Core Ultra 200 Series processors and CPUs with minimally sanded IHS (up to 0.2mm), the frame offers a practical solution for enhancing thermal management. However, care must be taken during installation, particularly with Mini-ITX motherboards, to avoid interfering with electronic components under the frame. This innovative tool provides an effective way to optimize CPU performance and cooling efficiency.
