  • Sturdy Support for AM5 CPUs
Size: ASF BLACK Color: Black
I recently upgraded my CPU to an AM5 socket, and like many enthusiasts, I was concerned about potential bending and stress on the motherboard due to the heavier cooling solutions commonly used today. Enter the Thermalright ASF-Black AM5 CPU Holder – a corrective anti-bending fixing frame that promises to alleviate these worries. Upon receiving the ASF-Black, I was impressed by its robust construction. The metal frame feels substantial and well-built, instilling confidence that it can handle the weight of even the largest CPU coolers. Installation was a breeze, thanks to clear instructions and a design that perfectly aligns with the AM5 socket. Once installed, the ASF-Black effectively reinforced the motherboard around the CPU socket. I could immediately sense a reduction in flex when mounting my cooler, easing my concerns about potential damage over time. Additionally, the black finish adds a sleek touch to my build, blending seamlessly with the rest of my components. In terms of performance, I've noticed no adverse effects on CPU temperatures or system stability. If anything, the added support provided by the ASF-Black may even contribute to better thermal conductivity by ensuring a secure connection between the CPU and cooler. Overall, I highly recommend the Thermalright ASF-Black AM5 CPU Holder to anyone using an AM5 socket. It offers peace of mind knowing that your valuable components are protected from the stresses of heavy cooling solutions. Well worth the investment for the long-term health of your system. ... show more

  • Excellent quality for cheap. Helps keep the thermal compound off the edges.
Size: ASF BLACK Color: Black
I have built four AM5 builds now for my home PC's (two 7600x and two 7800x3D) and each time I buy one of these. I dislike the odd design of the 7000 series integrated heat spreader as it is far harder to clean up thermal compound when uninstalling a CPU. I looked into what could help and ended up going with these as a inexpensive very well engineered mounting plate that performs multiple slight benefits. Certainly this isn't needed but for me thanks to the low cost I buy them anyway. 1.) Less thermal compound is true, it doesn't make a perfect seal but compound doesn't get down as far on the cpu making it easier to clean up when moving the CPU to a new build or selling it. 2.) Certainly provides even pressure completely around the CPU unlike factory method where it pushes down at two spots. 3.) Might even help with temps with possibly not flexing the CPU thanks to the even pressure. 4.) It just looks great and in some builds you can actually see this behind the cooler which is a bonus as it looks amazing. None of these are HUGE reasons to buy one but they are nice to have and I plan on buying them when more of my AM4 systems are moved over to AM5. ... show more

  • Mobo manufacturers should redesign their mounting systems to be more like these
Size: ASF BLACK Color: Black
I've used 2 of these now on AMD and Intel based builds, and both have brought temps down a few degrees. They're fairly cheap, easy to install, and solve the issue of lightly warping the CPU when secured by the original mobo latch. You can find a techtuber video that shows these compared to the regular system. You're not going to be suddenly running in arctic temperatures or anything, but at the very least it gives you peace of mind knowing that your cooler is making as much contact as it can with the heat spreader. ... show more

  • Easy to install and looks great
Size: ASF BLACK Color: Black
These CPU holders are more of a necessity on the Intel side but it's cheap so I picked it for for my AM5 build. Installation is straight forward and quick. This next part is informational. This is NOT a con for this product but more to help others not make the mistake I did - 100% user error. If you have this CPU holder installed and your swapping out your CPU, after unscrewing the 4 bolts, make sure to apply light pressure to hold the CPU in place while pulling out the CPU holder. I didn't do this and the CPU lifted off with it -about an inch- and fell back into the socket. Spent the next few hours unbending the pins. Again, not the fault of the product. 5 star and highly recommend to others. ... show more

  • Great product

Nice material, all metal to help with thermals on the CPU. Hard core gaming with thermals in the mid 50s. Ryzen 5 7600x cpu.

  • Better than stock bracket
Size: ASF BLACK Color: Black
Bought this for my Ryzen 7000 series cpu. Went on incredibly easy and puts even pressure on my cpu. Helps with thermals a bit too. Maybe a 5 degree celsius difference from the stock bracket.

  • Nice part
Size: ASF Red Color: Red
Not sure if I needed this or if it makes any temp difference because it is in a new system with nothing to compare it to, but It was easy to install, looks good, (even though you can't see it after assembly) and there is no way the cpu is going to move. I simply installed the cpu in the factory socket, then removed the 4 screws that attach the factory mechanism and lifted it straight up and out. Then installed the new fixing frame with the provided screws and wrench. Perfect fit and easy to work with. In other reviews, someone questioned that the frame did not go all the way to the top of the CPU. That's okay, it is not supposed to. If it did, your cooler would not make adequate contact with the CPU. One note, if you are removing the plastic clamping hold downs on your motherboard to install different cooler brackets or a water block, leave them in place and install this first. It will hold the back place once you remove the plastic brackets, making life easier. So, I don't know if it helps with the AM5 socket, but it's not that expensive in the grand scheme and is a quality part. Can't hurt and I like it! ... show more

For something that you will never see it’s beautiful. Holds the very pricey Ryzen 7 7800x3d in place. Looks stock when installed. Must have for personal pc builds.
