Thermal Grizzly Intel 1851 CPU Contact Frame V1

The Intel 1851 CPU Contact Frame V1 is the version of the well-known mounting aid tailored to Intel motherboards with the LGA1851 socket. By using the Intel 1851 CPU Contact Frame V1, the concave bending of the CPU’s Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS) caused by the standard Integrated Loading Mechanism (ILM) is avoided. This results in better contact between the CPU cooler and the IHS, improving cooling performance.

• Reduction of CPU temperatures
• Easy to install
• Anodized aluminum

Installing the contact frame is very simple and requires only a few steps. First, the motherboard's Integrated Loading Mechanism (ILM) must be removed. Depending on the CPU cooler and the CPU used, processor temperatures can be noticeably reduced. When switching from the Reduced-Load ILM (RL-ILM) used on some LGA1851 motherboards, temperature reductions of up to 4°C can be expected, and up to 6°C when switching from the standard ILM.

The Intel 1851 CPU Contact Frame V1 is compatible with Intel Core Ultra 200 Series processors for the LGA1851 socket. Additionally, the frame is compatible with CPUs whose Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS) has been sanded down by no more than 0.2 millimeters. Care must be taken during installation to ensure no electronic components are located under the frame, especially with Mini-ITX form factor motherboards.

Removing the Integrated Loading Mechanism (ILM) from the motherboard may void the manufacturer's warranty for the motherboard!
