It's not needed but it looks nice and blocks most excess paste from going down to the socket. Easy to install.

Strong, durable product that will support the weight of a screwed down CPU fan or water cooling block. It was extremely easy to install, and the thermal paste it comes with helps keep my 7800x3d cool during heavy usage. It’s important to note that there are really only two reasons someone should buy this. Firstly, for aesthetics. Secondly, so thermal paste doesn’t get underneath the edges of the am5 processor. Ultimately, I think this product is worth it when you consider its price point.

I mounted the bracket into the motherboard and CPU. The cut outs weren't the most perfectly aligned and their was little gaps between the top the LHS and bracket, but otherwise works fine.

I don't think these improved the cooling performance of my headsinks much, but I do like that it makes cleaning up thermal paste easier if I ever have to replace them in the future.

Thank you

Great little cpu frame. I can see why now everyone likes this way more than the stock frame. Way better design format.

I cannot say anything about thermal benefits, this was installed the second I got a new motherboard and CPU and is my first time using something similar.With that said as a first time user, the installation process couldn't have been any easier. I'm not new to building PCs so that helps, but anyone could do this with no real knowledge and thirty seconds of YouTube if they really didn't understand what was going on.Fit seems great, QC and actual manufacturing quality seem high especially for the low cost. I have no doubts it will do exactly as described and expected.If you're at all worried about the longevity of your CPU investment, this is a good way to increase your peace of mind and potentially save money down the road.

New build must have it for AMD Ryzen 9 9950X. It make CPU cooler easy to install.

Facil de instalar, inlcuye pasta termica y la herramineta para cambarlo, incluso los tornillos. La temperatura bajo unos 5 grados en general en full load o en reposo. Aparte qe te facilita mucho el poner la pasta térmica, a futuro te será más facíl cambiar la pasta térmica ya que no se va a chorrear por los lados, vale la pena por el precio.

Where’s my screw? Can something this simple be missing?

Me gusto por que hace que tenga mejor contacto con el socket
