Thermal Grizzly AM5 Contact Sealing Frame - Contact Frame & CPU Guard Combination - Optimizes Contact Pressure Points & Protects Components - for AMD Ryzen 7000 CPUs - Including Aeronaut 1g

Excellent product. Easy to mount. It sits perfectly on the CPU making it a lot easier to apply the thermal paste and spread it without any mess. Definitely a must-have IMHO.

I installed the Thermal Grizzly AM5 Contact Frame on my Ryzen 9 7900X3D system with a Corsair H150i AIO and Arctic MX-6 thermal paste, and the results were better than expected. Before the upgrade, my CPU would peak at around 73°C during OCCT stress testing. After installing the contact frame and reapplying thermal paste, my max temperatures dropped to 67°C — a solid 5–6°C improvement under full load. The system now runs cooler, more stable, and with less thermal fluctuation during intense gaming and productivity tasks. I also noticed a slight drop in GPU temps during 4K benchmarks, likely due to better overall case thermals now that the CPU heat is dissipated more efficiently. Build quality is top-notch, installation was straightforward (just follow the instructions and be patient), and everything fit perfectly with my AIO. If you're using an AM5 CPU and want the most efficient and even pressure on your IHS, this frame is 100% worth it. Highly recommended for anyone running a Ryzen 7000 series chip with high-end cooling — especially if you’re aiming for long-term thermal efficiency and stability.

Worked flawlessly. I was nervous taking the manufacturer frame off the socket but as long as you’re careful there’s no problem. I put it on my 9800x3D without any issues and fits like a glove. Great product at a reasonable price.

The Thermal Grizzly AM5 Contact Sealing Frame is genuinely impressive. Installation was straightforward, and the build quality feels premium the moment you handle it. Once in place, it made a clear difference more even pressure, better contact, and also improves performance and overall functionality with more stable temps on my Ryzen 7000 setup. I also like that it adds a layer of protection around the CPU, which gives some peace of mind during installs. If you want to get the best performance out of your AM5 system, this frame is absolutely worth it.

Top notch product and a worthwhile replacement for the standard retaining mechanism if for no other reason than it doesn't rely on the bale clip to secure the CPU. The AM5 contact frame in particular comes with a gasket that prevents thermal paste from collecting around CPU. True to Thermal Grizzly's claim the contact frame produced cooler CPU temps.

Although not technically necessary with AM5 CPUs, the contact frame DOES help with thermals a tiny bit (due to the increased thermal mass surrounding the CPU) from my initial testing anyway. The frame is made from solid aluminum and feels quite durable. Not sure if it’s CNC or cast aluminum but it will probably last forever. The look, fit, and overall design is spot on. I use mine with a Ryzen 7 7800X3D and it works great. This frame will work with all Ryzen 7000 CPUs and it also has a seal that goes around the base of the CPU to ease the mounting pressure a bit, or prevent thermal compound leakage, although I’m unsure if that’s what it’s for. The type of cooler you use doesn’t matter from what I’ve seen, just make sure it will mount properly and that even mounting pressure is applied to the cooler. Cleaning the CPU of thermal compound can be tricky because the paste tends to cake within the inner edges of the frame, while not an issue in most cases it can become an issue over time due to dried paste buildup. Overall, a very easy to install addition to your PC to aid with thermals and give your CPU socket a cleaner look. 10/10

Fast shipping, great packaging. Easy to install and looks better than stock. Hopefully it benefits the CPU. Came with additional paste but I already had some from a previous purchase, love Thermal Grizzly!

Excellent build and design. Protect your CPU investment with additional cooling with a Thermal Grizzly AM5 contact frame. Double check your fitment before you order.

High quality item, easy to install live it works fine. A+++

J’ai acheté le Thermal Grizzly AM5 Contact & Sealing Frame pour sécuriser et optimiser le montage de mon processeur AM5, et il fait parfaitement son travail. 🔧 Installation : • Le montage est simple si on prend son temps et qu’on suit bien les instructions. • Le frame remplace le système de rétention d’origine et s’installe sans difficulté particulière. • Une fois en place, le CPU est bien maintenu et correctement aligné. ❄️ Fonctionnement & efficacité : • Le contact avec le refroidissement est uniforme, ce qui permet une bonne dissipation thermique. • Aucune anomalie depuis l’installation : le système est stable et fonctionne parfaitement. • Le joint d’étanchéité joue bien son rôle et rassure lors de l’application de la pâte thermique (pas de débordement autour du socket). 🛠️ Qualité de fabrication : • Produit très bien fini, matériaux de qualité, fidèle à la réputation de Thermal Grizzly. • Le frame est solide et inspire confiance sur le long terme. ⚠️ À savoir : • Il faut être à l’aise avec le démontage du système de rétention d’origine (à faire doucement). • Bien respecter le couple de serrage pour éviter toute contrainte inutile. 📌 Conclusion : Un excellent accessoire pour les plateformes AM5, bien conçu et efficace. Il apporte une vraie tranquillité d’esprit lors du montage et contribue à un bon contact thermique. Je le recommande à ceux qui veulent optimiser et sécuriser leur installation.

Product Quality is Awesome but i dont know why rubber pad is given with it when i bought frame for intel 14th gen i didnt get rubber pad

マットブラックを基調とするなら尚更カッコよく見えるし良いと思う！特にトラブルもないです👍 頻繁にグリス塗替えますが、拭き取りも全然大丈夫です☺️

Produto excelente, muito bem construído!
