The results of independent testing of the Thermal Grizzly contact frame for the Intel LGA1700 socket show that the use of a simple device can reduce the temperature of an over-leched Intel Core i9-12900K processor by 10 degrees Celsius. In addition, the results emphasize that the device can significantly improve the accelerated potential of Alder Lake processors.

It turned out that the mechanism of independent loading (ILM) of the Intel LGA1700 socket can reject the built -in heat distributor (IHS) of the CPU and significantly reduce its ability to transfer heat from the crystal to the cooling system (thereby reducing the accelerated potential of the CPU). As a result, many methods appeared and modification to solve this problem and reduce the temperature of Alder Lake. Several companies also released various tools to prevent Alder Lake, but reviews about their effectiveness are ambiguous. In addition, Intel claims that the deviation does not cause any problems. On the contrary, modifications can lead to cancellation of the guarantee; This almost guarantees that large companies will not modify the ILM Intel socket.

Thermal Grizzly and the 'der8auer' novel Hartung combined to create a 12th generation processor contact frame (TG-CF-I12G), which replaces the recommended by ILM with a millsed piece of aluminum, which evenly presses the processor from all sides. And thus promises to prevent bending. Our colleagues from Igor's Lab tested Contact Frame, and the results were very inspiring.

The Thermal Grizzly Contact frame for the LGA1700 processors can reduce the temperature of the Intel Core i9-12900K processor with nuclei nuclei operating at a frequency of 5.0 GHz, deactivated nuclei E and DDR5-7000 memory from 70.48 to 60.29 degrees or 10.19 degrees in the stress test Prime95 with Small FFT. In addition, the testers used the universal liquid cooling system XPX Aurora from AlphaCool.

On the contrary, a 1-mm washers reduced the temperature by 5.40 degrees, and the rear panel of AlphaCool reduced the temperature by 5.11 degrees. On the contrary, the contact frame and the back plate reduced the temperature by 6.34 degrees. As a result, the CPU of the 12th generation CPU from Thermal Grizzly works more efficiently in itself than in combination with a special rear panel.

But the 12th generation CPP of the 12th generation from Thermal Grizzly is not cheap. In Germany, it costs 39.90 euros ($ 36 without VAT), so everyone will have to decide whether such a price of temperature difference is 10 degrees Celsius.
