Thermalright Launches Bending Corrector Frame for Alder Lake Processors

Taiwanese company Thermalright has recently launched the LGA1700-BCF (Bending Corrector Frame) to mitigate the risk of bending and warping with 12th Generation Intel Alder Lake processors. Intel has previously disclosed that their Alder Lake processors could exhibit mild warping as a result of changes to the integrated heatspreader (IHS) design but that the processors still performed within specification. This new product from Thermalright aims to prevent this warping despite Intel advising that any 3rd party modifications could void the warranty for Alder Lake processors. The Thermalright LGA1700-BCF is now available to purchase for 39 RMB (6 USD) in red and silver color options with support for H610, B660, and Z690 motherboards.

Shame the shipping takes so long. Hopefully some Euro store will get stock soon. I will order one anyway from Ali
If you can use that with your EK backplate, you'll have one hell of a great mounting solution

Seems like a good solution until intel figures out some way to fix this, you even get a little extra aluminum mass to help with cooling.

it will be. The EK backplate is pretty good, only cost £1.99 or something daft too.

I've read elsewhere that Der8auer's Contact Frame is going to cost 35 euro. That seems expensive compared to Thermalright's.

Just seen now. It might be above MSRP if it doesn't include shipping costs, but let's see once it's widely available.
It's probably better engineered than the Thermalright BCF, but this much money for a piece of machined aluminium alloy metal is difficult to justify.

EDIT: the price is without shipping costs.
