Description

Combination of contact frame and CPU protector for AMD Ryzen-7000 processors.

  • Encloses the heat spreader.
  • Replaces the mainboard SAM.
  • Made from anodized aluminum.

The precisely machined inner contour creates multiple contact points with the heat spreader, ensuring even distribution of contact pressure on the CPU.

Comes with a silicone foam insert that seals the gap between the heatsink and the aluminum frame, protecting the unprotected CPU components.

User-friendly assembly with clear labeling and includes screws for mounting the frame.

Compatibility with Ryzen 8X00G and Ryzen-9000.

Optimized internal contour for uniform pressure distribution

Combination of contact frame and CPU protector for AMD Ryzen-7000 processors.

  • Surrounds the heatspreader.
  • Replaces the mainboard's SAM.
  • Made from anodized aluminum.

The inner outline of the AM5 Contact & Sealing Frame is precisely machined, creating multiple contact points with the heatspreader compared to the standard SAM mechanism. These contact points distribute pressure evenly across the entire processor. In this way, it ensures that the CPU contact surfaces rest evenly on the pins of the socket. This can help prevent significant issues, such as the system not recognizing the RAM.

Innovative silicone foam gasket for protection and sealing

The AM5 Contact & Sealing Frame comes with a special silicone foam gasket. This is placed on the processor's PCB, functioning similarly to the AMD Ryzen 7000 CPU Guard. During installation of the frame, the gap between the heatspreader and the aluminum frame is sealed by the silicone foam as it is pressed onto the board. This prevents thermal paste or liquid metal from coming into contact with the unprotected components of the CPU. The use of the foam gasket is optional when using thermal pastes, but mandatory when using liquid metal.

User-friendly assembly with clear labeling and compatibility

For simplified installation, there is a corresponding marking on the top of the AM5 Contact & Sealing Frame. As the socket features a protrusion at its upper —the "northern"— end, installation is only possible in a specific orientation. The package includes four screws for securing the frame, while full compatibility with Thermal Grizzly's AM5 backplates is provided.

    Roman has one of the best companies when it comes to computer component cooling and all of its products are top-notch. This contact frame for AM5 is no exception. It evens out the pressure from CPU coolers (whether air or waterblock) and ensures uniform pressure on the processor, resulting in noticeably better cooling. It is worth the money compared to other imitations

    Very beautiful product and easy to install. It's not rocket science to put it on. In an all white build, the black color is not visible. It protects against CPU bending after many years of use. Only time will tell in any case how useful the product is. You can see similar reviews on YouTube or from other experienced users who write on forums. It contains thermal grizzly paste inside (not liquid metal) so don't buy another one.
    Very good machining, with smooth edges.

    It doesn't offer anything for AMD, but since I had it on Intel, I got the corresponding one for my 9800x3d. After all, I'm a fan and I support thermalgrizzly

    For new builders:
    The logic of the contact frame is that it will ensure the CPU makes contact as well as possible and the cooler won't "miss" any point (resulting in reduced speed/performance of the processor or even causing damage). However, this is only a problem with Intel's LGA1700 sockets, which are not square (1151/AM4/AM5) but rectangular parallelograms (e.g., i5/i7/i9 generation 13/14). This specific processor does not need a contact frame as it makes contact perfectly. The only reason to buy this is to avoid dirtying the motherboard with thermal paste, which essentially doesn't matter since pastes do not conduct electricity, so you are not risking anything. Personally, I would say it is wasted money as there is no significant difference in temperatures as you would see in the Intel version.

    Necessary to prevent the CPU from filling with unwanted paste. For temperatures, etc., I think there's minimal difference! Essential in every build
