Its unique design ensures even pressure distribution, a critical factor for the delicate AM5 socket. Unlike generic solutions, this corrective frame actively prevents CPU bending and protects the cover from wear, even with frequent cooler swaps. The insulated foot pads further enhance stability by minimizing capacitance issues. This attention to detail means your high-performance AMD processor remains secure and optimally supported, ensuring long-term system integrity and performance. - Ideal for High-Performance Builds, Skip if Using Non-AM5 CPUs — This holder is specifically designed for AMD AM5 CPUs and motherboards (X670, B650 chipsets). It's perfect for PC builders aiming for maximum stability and longevity in their high-end AMD Ryzen systems. If you are using an Intel CPU or an older AMD socket like AM4, this specific AM5 holder will not fit and is not compatible. Always verify your motherboard socket type before purchasing to ensure proper installation and protection. ## How to use 1. Carefully remove your CPU cooler. Clean the CPU and motherboard socket area. Apply a small amount of the included TF7 thermal grease (approx. 2g) evenly onto the CPU's integrated heat spreader. — Prepare the Motherboard 2. Align the Thermalright ASF-Black holder precisely over the AM5 CPU socket. Ensure the insulated foot pads sit correctly and the holder covers the CPU evenly without obstructing any pins or contacts. — Position the Holder 3. Using the provided L-shaped screwdriver, gently screw in the holder's mounting screws. Tighten them evenly in a cross pattern to ensure uniform pressure across the CPU and socket. Do not overtighten. — Secure the Holder 4. Once the holder is securely in place, proceed to install your CPU cooler according to its specific mounting instructions, ensuring it makes proper contact with the holder and CPU. — Install CPU Cooler ## Product details | Field | Value | |---|---| | Included Thermal Grease | TF7 2g | | Thermal Conductivity (TF7) | 12.8 W/M.K | | Installation | Easy installation with included L-shaped screwdriver.
