1. Thermal Grizzly AM5 Contact & Sealing Frame

Combination of contact frame and CPU guard

The AM5 Contact & Sealing Frame is a combination of contact frame and CPU guard for AMD's Ryzen 7000 processors. As a contact frame, the AM5 Contact & Sealing Frame creates optimal contact pressure of the CPU into the socket, while an optional, included inlay made of silicone foam serves to protect the exposed components on the CPU.
- Encloses the heatspreader
- Replaces the SAM of the mainboard
- Made of anodized aluminium

Optimized inner contour for even pressure distribution

The precision-milled inner contour of the AM5 Contact & Sealing Frame creates multiple contact points to the heatspreader compared to the standard SAM. These contact points distribute the contact pressure on the CPU evenly. This ensures that the contact surfaces of the CPU rest uniformly on the pins of the socket. For example, problems with the detection of system memory can be avoided this way.

Innovative silicone foam inlay for protection and sealing

The AM5 Contact & Sealing Frame comes with a silicone foam inlay. This can be placed on the PCB of the processor, similar to the AMD Ryzen 7000 CPU guard. When installing the AM5 Contact & Sealing Frame, the gap between the heatspreader and the aluminium frame is sealed by the silicone foam by pressing the foam onto the PCB. This prevents thermal paste or liquid metal from getting onto the CPU's unprotected components. The foam inlay is optional when used with thermal pastes, but mandatory when used with liquid metal.

User-friendly assembly with clear marking and compatibility

To simplify installation, there is a corresponding marking on the top of the AM5 Contact & Sealing Frame. Since the socket has a bulge on the upper edge, mounting is only possible in one orientation. Four screws are included for mounting the frame and compatibility with the Thermal Grizzly AM5 backplates is given. 

2. Corsair iCUE LINK LCD Module, White

Upgrade your iCUE Link RGB CPU cooler with a custom 2.1" IPS LCD screen. This custom 2.1-inch IPS LCD screen features a resolution of 480x480 pixels and an ultra-bright backlight of 600 cd/m², displaying the CPU temperature in real-time, your favorite animated GIF, the funniest meme, or your team's logo at 30 FPS in over 16.7 million colors. 

3. Thermal Grizzly Grizzly Intel 12th Gen CPU Contact Frame

The CPU Contact Frame for Intel 13th and 14th generation processors is an essential accessory for water cooling systems, replacing the original Integrated Loading Mechanism (ILM) of the motherboard. This mounting aid optimizes the clamping pressure, significantly improving cooling performance. Due to the altered dimensions of the Intel Raptor Lake processors and the associated changes to the LGA1700 socket, new mounting brackets are required. The standard ILM only has contact points in the center of the CPU, leading to uneven pressure distribution and a concave bulge of the Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS). The CPU Contact Frame shifts the clamping pressure from the center to the edges, achieving a uniform pressure distribution and a larger contact area with the CPU cooler. This allows for better coverage of the thermal hotspot and optimizes cooling performance, especially in overclocking applications.

Highlights:
- Made from high-quality aluminum for durability and optimal heat conduction
- Supports Intel LGA1700 socket, compatible with 13th and 14th generation processors
- Improves cooling performance through uniform pressure distribution and larger contact area. 

4. Corsair iCUE LINK LCD Module, Black

Corsair iCUE Link redefines system cooling and aesthetics with its liquid cooling system pump LCD screen module. It is designed for enthusiasts seeking both performance and customization, featuring a 2.1-inch IPS LCD display that not only allows real-time system monitoring but also offers personalized graphics that match the theme of your setup. The integrated RGB LED lighting adds a new dimension of customization, with vibrant colors that can be tailored to your taste. Installation is simple and tool-free, ensuring a hassle-free setup. Compatibility with Corsair iCUE software enables control over your system's cooling and lighting, making it an essential addition to any high-performance system. 

5. Noctua Upgrade Kit NM-AM5/4-MP78

The SecuFirm2 Mounting Kit NM-AM5/4-MP78 allows for the retrofitting of Noctua CPU coolers with a 78 mm mounting distance (see detailed compatibility information) for AMD's AM5 and AM4 platforms. In the best SecuFirm2 tradition, it combines excellent reliability, optimal pressure contact, and easy installation, enabling Noctua coolers to be reused on AMD's latest Ryzen processors.

The NM-AM5/4-MP78 set is compatible with numerous Noctua CPU coolers that utilize a 78 mm mounting distance. Coolers with an 83 mm mounting distance require the MP83 version. Please refer to our detailed compatibility information to determine which set is needed for which cooler.

Proven SecuFirm2 quality: Over the years, SecuFirm2 has become synonymous with outstanding long-term stability and flawless workmanship. Both PC enthusiasts and industrial customers swear by the proven quality of Noctua's professional mounting systems. 

6. Thermal Grizzly AM5 Adapter & Offset Mounting Kit

The practical AM5 adapter and offset mounting kit for AMD Socket AM5 motherboards includes cooler brackets for offset mounting of the CPU, as well as adapter screws from UNC 6-32 to M3 and M4 threads. With the help of the adapter screws, CPU coolers that require an M3 or M4 thread instead of the UNC 6-32 thread of the cooler mounting screws can be installed, as is the case with various AIOs or water coolers.

The offset brackets allow compatible CPU coolers to be optionally mounted off-center on the processor to optimize cooling performance. Since the introduction of the chiplet design in Ryzen CPUs, the hottest point of the heat spreader is no longer in the center but has been slightly shifted downwards and outward depending on the CPU. With the help of the offset brackets, the CPU cooler can be mounted closer to the hotspot of the processor, allowing heat to be dissipated more quickly and efficiently from the CPU chiplets.

The offset brackets feature UNC 6-32 threads and can be used with the adapter screws for M3/M4 threads. The AM5 adapter and offset mounting kit also increases compatibility when mounting CPU coolers using the Thermal Grizzly Ryzen 7000 Direct Die frames. Due to the modified mounting height for direct die cooling, the cooler needs to be mounted lower, which is made possible by the M3 and M4 adapter screws.

Technical details:
- For compatible AM5 motherboards
- Offset mounting of the CPU cooler
- Increased compatibility with CPU coolers
- Easy installation.
