Thermal Grizzly Intel Lga1851 v1 Cpu Contact Frame
Thermal Grizzly Intel Lga1851 v1 Cpu Contact Frame SPECIFICATIONS:
- Color: Black
- Material: Aluminum
- Socket Manufacturer: Intel
- Socket Type: LGA 1851
Overview
The Intel 1851 CPU Contact Frame V1 is a specialized mounting aid designed for motherboards with the LGA1851 socket , tailored to improve CPU cooling performance. By replacing the standard Integrated Loading Mechanism (ILM), this contact frame eliminates the concave bending of the CPU’s Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS). This ensures better contact between the CPU cooler and the IHS, resulting in improved thermal performance and lower operating temperatures.
Key Features
- Compatibility : Designed for Intel Core Ultra 200 series CPUs (LGA1851 socket).
- Purpose : Eliminates IHS bending caused by the standard ILM, improving thermal contact with the CPU cooler.
- Material : Constructed from anodized aluminum , ensuring durability and corrosion resistance.
- Temperature Reduction : Can reduce CPU temperatures by up to 4°C when switching from the Reduced-Load ILM (RL-ILM) and up to 6°C when switching from the standard ILM.
Technical Specifications
- Processor Compatibility :
- Intel Core Ultra 200 Series (LGA1851 socket).
- Compatible with CPUs whose IHS has been sanded down by no more than 0.2 millimeters .
- Functionality : Replaces the motherboard’s Integrated Loading Mechanism (ILM) to ensure uniform pressure distribution on the CPU.
- Material : Anodized aluminum for enhanced durability and aesthetics.
Scope of Delivery
- 1x Intel 1851 CPU Contact Frame V1
- 4x Cylinder head screws (3/8″ UNC threads)
- 1x 5/64″ hex key
- 1x Torx T20 key
Why Use the Intel 1851 CPU Contact Frame?
- Improved Cooling Performance : By eliminating IHS bending, the contact frame ensures optimal contact between the CPU cooler and the IHS, enhancing heat dissipation.
- Temperature Reduction :
- Up to 4°C improvement when switching from the Reduced-Load ILM (RL-ILM).
- Up to 6°C improvement when switching from the standard ILM.
- Simplified Installation : Easy-to-follow steps make installation straightforward, requiring only basic tools.
Installation Process
- Remove the Integrated Loading Mechanism (ILM) : Carefully detach the motherboard’s ILM.
- Mount the Contact Frame : Secure the Intel 1851 CPU Contact Frame using the included cylinder head screws and tools.
- Verify Compatibility : Ensure no electronic components are located under the frame, especially on Mini-ITX motherboards.
Important Notes
-
Warranty Risk : Removing the motherboard’s Integrated Loading Mechanism (ILM) may void the manufacturer’s warranty for the motherboard. Proceed with caution.
-
Compatibility Check : Ensure the CPU and cooler are compatible with the contact frame before installation.
Use Cases
-
Enthusiast Builds : Ideal for overclockers and enthusiasts seeking to maximize cooling performance and achieve lower CPU temperatures.
-
High-Performance Workstations : Suitable for professionals running intensive workloads, such as video editing, 3D rendering, and scientific simulations.
-
Custom Cooling Setups : Perfect for users building custom water-cooling loops or direct-die cooling solutions.
Safety and Warranty Disclaimer
-
Warning : Installation of the CPU Contact Frame requires technical expertise. Mishandling may result in permanent damage to the motherboard or CPU.
-
Warranty Void : Removing the Integrated Loading Mechanism (ILM) invalidates the motherboard manufacturer’s warranty. Proceed at your own risk.
-
Disclaimer : Always follow the provided instructions carefully and ensure proper safety precautions are taken.
