ASF-Black AM5 CPU Holder, Corrective Anti-Bending Fixing Frame, Full-Fit Fixed Non-Marking Mounter, AM5 Anti-Bending Contact Frame, CPU Cooler Standard

I installed the Thermalright ASF-Black AM5 CPU Holder during a recent Ryzen build, and it’s one of those small upgrades that actually makes a noticeable difference. The main reason I picked this up was to prevent CPU bending and improve mounting pressure—and it delivers. The frame replaces the stock retention bracket and applies more even pressure across the CPU, which helps with cooler contact. Since installing it, I’ve seen slightly better and more consistent temps under load, which lines up with what others report about improved thermal performance from better contact. Build quality is excellent for the price. The material feels sturdy, and everything lines up perfectly with the AM5 socket. Installation was straightforward, but I do recommend taking your time and following a guide if it’s your first time—this isn’t difficult, but you are working close to sensitive components. One thing to note: this is definitely more of an enthusiast or “tweaker” upgrade. If you’re not comfortable removing the stock bracket or working around your CPU socket, it might feel intimidating. But for anyone who enjoys optimizing their build, it’s a solid addition. Overall, this is a simple, affordable upgrade that improves mounting pressure, helps protect against CPU warping, and can even give you a small thermal benefit. Definitely worth it if you’re building or upgrading an AM5 system. This is a no brainer upgrade to have for great value

The Thermalright ASF-Black AM5 frame is solidly built and fits well. Installation is simple, and it feels more secure than the stock bracket. In my setup, it reduced temperatures by around 4°C, which is a noticeable improvement under load. Overall, a worthwhile upgrade for better thermals and more stable CPU mounting on AM5 systems.

Great value and high quality for a perfect fit with even pressure coverage on AM5 CPU's. The look and functionality is exactly what I expected and works seamlessly, very easy to install. With an extra bonus on leaving no large gaps for thermal past to get onto the board when applying past and cooler! Equally great for a beginner or more experienced builder.

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. It’s the perfect blend of form, function, and peace of mind for your PC.

Good addon to the MB. easy to install, good quality.

So, I bought this (different model LGA 1700) for my sons build and I liked how it helped secure the CPU and the aesthetics of it also. So I ended up getting one for my CPU. It fit perfectly! It has also helped my CPU shed some heat better. I've noticed it runs about 5° cooler with this mount versus the MB mount. I know it's not dramatic but but nobody will complain about running a bit cooler on their PC. My desktop was already built by me back in October of 24, so this was a, disassemble, add, reassemble, then play part. It wasn't reasonably difficult to add on after being built. But I will say if your desktop isn't built and your contemplating getting one of these, DO IT! With all the money you already have wrapped up what's another $10? The small price it ensures the CPU is in correct the place, deters the possibility of damage occuring to the pins on the CPU, it helps dissipate heat, and if you get a color different than your MB you will see the accent (I have an MSI 670E gaming + WiFi (silver heat sinks and covers) and a red Thermalright AM5 bracket. My opinion it looks cool being the only red piece and because most of its covered it's not overwhelming, the accent is very subtle.

Absolutely phenomenal fit helps very much with my AIO. I love it a little scary to take that bracket off as it popped on me but hey you gotta do what you Gotta do lol wonderful fit great material. it also makes it such an even flat fit that the AIO runs phenomenally. I’m down to 35 Celsius on my CPU with over 36% usage that’s about a 20% drop from just a regular bracket.

I picked up the Thermalright AM5 CPU Contact Frame along with the included thermal paste, and it made a noticeable difference in my build. Installation was straightforward, and the frame immediately fixed the slight socket bending issue AM5 chips are known for. After installing it on my Ryzen 9 9950X, my mounting pressure improved and my temps became more consistent across all cores. Paired with my Kraken 240 Elite RGB, I’m now seeing 39°C idle and around 54°C max during gaming and normal workloads. The thermal paste spreads easily and performs just as well as higher-end pastes I’ve used before. Build quality is solid, the fit is perfect, and the whole setup feels more secure than the stock retention bracket. For anyone trying to squeeze out a little extra thermal efficiency on AM5 especially with high core count CPUs this frame is absolutely worth it.

Me gusto y entrega a tiempo

Product fits perfectly.

Yüksek işlem kapasiteli bir AMD işlemcisi kullanıyorsanız, iyi bir soğutucu ve termal macun dışında bu ürünü de kesinlikle almalısınız.

No complaints

رائع ما شاء الله
