Just installed one of these on my Asus z690 Prime and I91300K.
Everyone with a 12th or 13th gen Intel system should just buy one - I cant believe how crap it makes the horrible bendy spring loaded mechanism of Intel boards look!
Temperatures dropped 6 deg immediately!
Don't be put off by some of the installation videos out there that seem to make the process really complicated. Its so easy and just tighten the four screws in a cross pattern until they feel snug but not forced and that's it. All boards should use this method and ditch the spring loaded nonsense!

I tried one, but unless 100% perfectly put on can reduce Ram overclocking potential. So technically its one trade off for another

Interesting, why would it cause issues? Its just the same mounting as the Intel mechanism - in fact it seems to put less stress on the board than the spring lever?
