1. AM5 Socket Compatibility
   • Specifically engineered for AMD’s AM5 platform (used with Ryzen 7000-series CPUs and newer).
   • Ensures proper alignment and secure installation of Thermalright coolers on AM5 motherboards.
2. Anti-Bend Design
   • Motherboards with heavy CPU coolers (especially large tower-style air coolers) can flex or bend under weight, potentially damaging components or causing instability.
   • The bracket reinforces the motherboard around the CPU socket, distributing the cooler’s weight evenly to prevent bending or warping.
3. Durable Construction
   • Typically made from metal (e.g., steel or aluminum alloy) for rigidity and longevity.
   • Resists deformation even under heavy coolers, ensuring long-term stability.
4. Ease of Installation
   • Designed to integrate seamlessly with Thermalright coolers (e.g., models like the Peerless Assassin or AQUA ELITE series).
   • Replaces or supplements the default mounting hardware, with clear instructions for installation.
5. Backplate Integration
   • Works in tandem with the motherboard’s stock AM5 backplate or includes its own reinforced backplate for added support.

Why It Matters :

• Motherboard Protection : Prevents physical damage to the AM5 socket and surrounding PCB caused by uneven pressure from heavy coolers.
• Improved Stability : Reduces vibrations and micro-movements during operation, enhancing thermal performance and longevity.
• Future-Proofing : Ensures compatibility with AM5 motherboards, which have a different mounting mechanism compared to older AM4 sockets.

Who Needs It :

• Users building a PC with an AM5 motherboard and a heavy Thermalright air cooler .
• Enthusiasts prioritizing system longevity and reliability.
• Those experiencing motherboard sagging or cooler-mounting issues on AM5 platforms.

Included Accessories :

• The bracket is often bundled with Thermalright AM5-compatible coolers, but it may also be sold separately.
• Includes screws, standoffs, and a reinforced backplate (if required).

Installation Tips :

1. Remove the motherboard’s default AM5 backplate (if necessary).
2. Attach the Secure Frame Anti-bend Bracket to the motherboard using the provided hardware.
3. Mount the CPU cooler onto the bracket, ensuring even pressure distribution.
4. Double-check alignment to avoid interfering with other components (e.g., RAM slots).
