The Thermalright ASF-Black AM5 CPU Holder is a small but mighty upgrade for PC builders looking to maximize the stability and efficiency of their AMD AM5 setups. Designed with precision and practicality, this CPU holder is a game-changer for those who value optimal contact and cooling performance in their builds. Constructed with high-quality metal, the ASF-Black ensures a secure and reliable mount for your CPU, reducing any risk of uneven pressure or accidental damage during installation. Its thoughtful design eliminates concerns of misalignment, giving you confidence that your processor is seated perfectly every time. One of the standout benefits is how it enhances cooler contact with the CPU, improving heat dissipation and allowing your cooling solution to work more efficiently. Whether you're overclocking or just ensuring consistent performance, this holder helps maintain lower temperatures and better system stability. Upgrading your AM5 CPU to a more powerful version? This will make sure you get the most return in the old one - with how this holder attaches to the motherboard - their is no chance of ripping your CPU accidentally out of the socket, when removing your CPU cooler. No more bent motherboard pins. The sleek black finish not only looks great in any build but also adds a touch of understated sophistication. Installation is straightforward, even for less experienced builders, making it a hassle-free addition to any AM5 setup. Overall, the Thermalright ASF-Black AM5 CPU Holder is a must-have accessory for builders who want to ensure their CPU is mounted with precision and their cooling is performing at its best.

  • Easy to Install, Prevents Bending and Thermal Paste Messes!
Color: Red
Although AM5 CPUs don't require contact frames as Intel CPUs do, it doesn't hurt to apply even pressure to the CPU's installation. Additionally, these will help prevent the thermal paste messes of old, where extra paste ends up in the little edges and corners of the AM5 IHS, and will be a pain to clean up later on. I have a few recommendations for installing these: 1) Watch the GamersNexus' video on the Intel version, which has a helpful installation demonstration section that is basically similar to the AM5 version. 2) Whatever cooler you are using, make sure to have the standoffs installation hardware installed BEFORE removing the original AM5 CPU retention mechanism, ESPECIALLY if you already have the system in the case like me. Otherwise, the AM5 backplate will fall off, and you will have more work ahead of you. Overall, does it's job well, looks cool, and helps with thermal paste cleanup and prevent messes. Highly recommended. ... show more

  • Nice add-on
Color: BLACK
By many reviews this doesn't have the same heat dissipation effects as on intel CPU, but it looks nice and keeps the thermal paste away from getting into those annoying carves when you apply/change paste. Easy install and they give you the key that you need. Fits great, good CNC job, the edges inside are soft and not sharp unlike the outside which is a bit rough but doesn't make a difference. Much cheaper price than thermal grizzly one. ... show more

  • Great fitment
Color: Red
This product is great quality and easy to install, it takes less then 5 minutes to get it all install on your motherboard. The figment is extremely tight which works great and means it was cut to the cpu measurement. Great value for you money since you can easily clean up your cpu of old paste and makes for easy AIO installation as well. ... show more

  • Works Perfectly
Color: BLACK
Wonderful item. I did not need this for the anti-bend properties. I specifically wanted it for easier thermal paste application and clean up. It does great for that. According to reviews and benchmarks, people state this is specifically amazing for liquid cooled systems. Mine is air cooled, so I do not get that bonus. I like it a lot more than the tensioner that holds it in default. ... show more

  • Easy to install and Nice add on
Color: BLACK
The main reason I really got this was because of thermal heat dissipation that intel CPUs had but after receiving it I found out it was not meant for it but I decided to just install it and really it helps with thermal paste mess and provides even pressure to the CPU. It's not necessary but for the price and for times I usually switch out parts or clean my PC this helps save some time when cleaning the thermal paste off. ... show more

  • Solid, but ultimately seemed unnecessary.
Color: Red
It's nicely machined, fits well. There are no english instructions, except for bad pictures that look like they escaped from a fortune cookie factory. This device replaces the motherboard standard CPU frame/clamp. That means you will be unbolting your brand new motherboard's primary, engineered by the MB manufacturer's crack team of eggheads, and replacing it with this 9 dollar part you got from Amazon. As I contemplated and tested the mainboard for any sign of flex (which this part supposedly fixes), I was less sure I really wanted to discard the CPU socket clamp that was warranted with my mainboard. I remain unconvinced there is a problem to solve here. Like all the AM5 board makers were so stupid that it takes a 9 dollar part to fix their hideously incompetent blunder? Uh, no. So, I pitched it. I still give it 4 stars, as it certainly can fulfill its purpose and appears well made, minus any legible instructions. ... show more
