LGA 1851 Thermal contact frames, yes or no?

[nablaforlife]

Hello everybody,

need your help. Are those thermal contact frames, for eg. the one from Thermaltake, recommended for the LGA 1851 to protect the CPU from bending and decreasing temperature like it was on the LGA 1700?

Thank you!

It's not needed apparently from der8auer reporting, but it can slightly improve things. However the 1700 one will not fit. Must wait for 1851 ones to be made.

1700 socket it made a big difference for me.

The CPUs in LGA 1851 socket still bend:

I think lapping truly flat surface is hard, because when you have truly flat surface the friction of the object with the emery paper is very high. So you need to move the object with very careful and precise force overcoming and fighting with high friction. Most of the time you end up applying...

The frame will prevent the bending, CPUs will be bulged slightly instead and will optimally cool under FLAT coolers.

At 20 dollars, it's pretty cheap insurance.

Thank you all.

So basically it will not make any damage, instead it will help in the LGA1851 as well.

15:04 Start time. derb8er measures the bend. It still exists yes, but very minor with the new socket frame (though some MB have the old socket frame....). I have no problems pull 300+ from my 285K and still within the thermal limit. Couldn't do that with the 13900K. Waiting for the $8 Thermalright frames to come out and see if it improves memory again.
