Thermalright AM5 Secure Frame Anti-bend Bracket
Thermalright AM5 Secure Frame Anti-bend Bracket SPECIFICATIONS:
- Size : 75 x 56 x 7.5 mm
- Weight : 45 g
- Color : Black
- Material : Aluminum Alloy
- Accessories Included : L-shaped screwdriver + TF7 (2 GB)
- Warranty : 1 Years
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 :
- Remove the motherboard’s default AM5 backplate (if necessary).
- Attach the Secure Frame Anti-bend Bracket to the motherboard using the provided hardware.
- Mount the CPU cooler onto the bracket, ensuring even pressure distribution.
- Double-check alignment to avoid interfering with other components (e.g., RAM slots).
