On a core i7 12700k, with a Noctua NH- d15. I got a 7c drop on cibebench after a 10 mins stress test. Room temp was 23.6c. went from 80c to 73c, all fans maxed out. Impressive!
I installed this after watching Gamers Nexus videos and honestly it was a breeze. Didn't notice any difference in temps, but the peace of mind to not get bending made it worth it.
Okay after procrastinating and fearful of doing the mod with the Thermalright ILM I did it. 12700K overclocked to a 5.2GHz on two cores and an all core at 5GHz I was getting temps in Cinebench at 90 to 91 degrees. Once I installed the ILM, I am down to 79 to 80 degrees, a near 10 degree drop!!!! Very impressed with Thermalright and great job both on the ILM and price...Will do what it says..
I need to get one of these, I process a lot of high res photo raw files from a canon 5D mark 4 and I literally have to take my side panel off, and have a large floor fan blow in there at full speed to prevent thermal shutdowns, I watch my temps and some of the cores still hit 100 C for a moment here and there and mostly stay super high during processing. Granted I just use an air cooler but still i want to see how much this thing helps
@@lander77477 hey don't know if it helps, but I'm waiting for this and a new cooler and in the meanwhile I've kind of solved the temp issues by limiting the power on the bios... not undervolting or oc or complicated stuff and 0 guessing or stability issues, just enter on the cpu power consumption and lower the max turbo to 200 watts from the 240 stock, and the constant turbo from 200 to 160.... it's a bit slower on 3ds vray renders and just as good on after effects but way cooler and with less fan noise
@@IskanderVFX I have thought about doing something like that but I don't want to reduce my computing power, plus for some weird glitchy reason I can't get into my bios, believe me i have googled it up and down and looked at every tip on youtube. The only thing I can try is to boot with the CPU socket empty, but i won't bother with that unless I need to update the bios. I bought the thermal grizzly contact frame which I heard is higher quality, and bought a double tower cooler, so when I install them, hopefully that will bring my temps within reason
@@lander77477 yeah me neither, it's just a temporary solution, I just can't compromise on stability, but if you can't enter the bios and your pc is shutting down I think you could have another problem, mine was only 98 c to 100 c high temps and noise no shutdowns or even throttle... couldn't do the undervolt thing as it wasn't stable so not an option and yeah with cutting off the wattage works for me
I used to hit 90°C on all P-cores after 1 or 2 passes in cinebench now I can do more than 10 passes and hit max temp of 81°C on 3 p-cores, 80°C on 1 p-core, 79°C on 1 p-core and 75°C on the last p-core and this is all under a constant 100% load. P-Core Clock Speed 2 p-cores at 4.9ghz 2 p-cores at 4.7ghz 2 p-cores at 4.5ghz
Today replaced my frame with the Thermalright one, Z790 Asus with 13700KF. First test was like 5 degrees of the Intel frame. But stable high all core overclock tested with fixed vcore. Which is a better method of testing than with everything on auto settings. So not too much but for enthousiasts, it's worth it.
So I just got it and installed before on prime 95 I was getting over 89 degree’s c now it dose not go above 78 this works I will endorse it just don’t over tighten screws turn them with two fingers untail it stops then a 1/4 turn after that and it’s done
@@bigiron4018 I think it's wise to mark at least the 90 and 45 degree angles on the bracket so you have comparison, and make a little mark on the screws too
I have that board ! I had to remove the useless plastic extra upper layer to fit a NH-D15. Then i already have voided the warranty by replacing (1mm + paste on 2x sides) the cooked and dried up 2mm PCH pad due to having all the m.2 slots populated and in use for a few months. Then i replaced the white cable binder with a 40x40 ground down chipset aluminium cooler. Since the customer already has to do everything himself to make his bought hardware last longer, this ist just antoher piece of kit and manual step so that I can sleep easier whilst the rig is running at full tilt. And the frame you made looks damn cool i have to admit. And since i own a mini torque wrench kindly give some torque specs please.
Don't bother. The normal bracket of Intel is also just tight mounted without torque at all. I just replaced mine with the Thermalright one and the screws standard in the motherboard aren't tight at all. It just needs to keep the CPU horizontal in place. Your cooler will make the right pressure on the CPU.
I recommend checking the guide from Gamers Nexus. Old comment, but for anyone else doing the install. I did it that way and it was perfect without any torque tool. Just made sure to reset the threading before screwing, doing each screw in a criss-cross pattern at an 90 degree turn with the umbraco, 45 degree once it start noticing resistance change, and finally stop right as it started really requiring any force.
@@JamieRhey Jamie can you check if there's any glue leaking from the thermalright one . I see some people reporting the glue from the contact frame ( part which touches the motherboard) get's leaked overtime due to heat .some reviews on Amazon state that.
Tighten the bolts in the same order that was shown in the video. Yes be careful not to over tighten the bolts. You want even pressure all of the way around. So tighten the bolts gradually. I'm just a diesel technician who likes computers and I just ordered my bracket for my 12600k haha 🖖
YES! The bolts can be overtightened and cause several performance issues including system instability and boot failures. I understand the tightening procedure is to FIRST tighten by holding the tool ( torx key ) between thumb and index finger ( "finger tight"), then AFTER all bolts are "finger tight", tighten each bolt an ADDITIONAL 1/4 turn. I have read that the torque load is a scant 0.03 to 0.06 NEWTON METERS - but I do not have a micro-torque wrench that can be accurately / reliably set that low. The "good news" is that if the bolts are over-tightened, backing them off slightly ( and uniformly) seems to correct any performance issues.

X shape or pea sized amount in the middle of the CPU is the way to go with thermal paste.

Think of a dozen blobs heading towards each other from different directions and you will visualize how the air in the middle sections gets trapped.

I know this video is a year old but I do have a question, should you put a very small amount of thermal paste on the outer edge of the CPU aluminum to help transfer the heat to the The Thermarlight plate.

You probably over tightened it, not sure how’s your situation now but every pcb in each motherboard vender is different. Some are thicker by a bit and some aren’t.
Technically No. Your computer will last for 5+ years without the modification. But for me personally, given the amount of abnormal heat that is generated, Yes.

@@Yahfz With 12100F like 3°C better temps but thermal paste spread along all IHS that was in contact with AIO Block. Spread was so good that you could read most of the printed characters over IHS. Regards
Did you use a torque screwdriver?
@@florian1427 Nope, I didn't. Have mounted this frame twice without issues. My recommendation would be using just 1 hand (maybe just 2 fingers) to do the final tight. Also always tight each screw with 2 complete turns and in diagonal. You need to apply an even pressure to the socket, else some pins might bent. Regards
where can i get this?

I installed and my system didn’t boot since I tried every tightening torque and it still won’t boot
I bought this for $ 6.8
Aliexpress is loaded with it rn.
Purchase link please

Rather go with the original TG from germany.
For a 6x premium in cost, with near identical performance? No thanks. It's like buying apple, you're just paying for the brand.
I fear God too much for doing that
what scares you off?
直接把别人的专利拿来生产，还不给一分钱真有你的
Absolutely useless instructions with no details on buckle tighting torque. If you try to tighten buckle all the way down, the CPU won't boot and may actually get damaged. Second paste application is absolutely incorrect. Overall my advice is don't do this at home.
This procedure void the Intel warranty!
No it doesn't. You can reinstall the original clamp, they have no way of proving that you did this.
