Soldato
Ordered some nice new nzxt panels with proper ventilation just for better thermals.

Now Intel should include these frames as a freebieBefore installing:
Prime95, avx2, 8 golden cove cores, 16 threads: ~250W / 82C CPU / 93.5C CPU package ( 22C ambient / XMP stock 12700K)
After installing thermalright frame:
Prime95 ~241.5W / 71.5C / 82.5C (22C ambient)
seems more like the cooler manufactures should since some people see 0 benefitNow Intel should include these frames as a freebie
That would require Intel to acknowledge there is an issue. They don't.Now Intel should include these frames as a freebie
Which they won’t… so yeah, these frames are pointless.That would require Intel to acknowledge there is an issue. They don't.
seems there is no issue apart from for certain cooler brandsThat would require Intel to acknowledge there is an issue. They don't.
Gamers Nexus, Der8auer and other extreme overclockers would disagree and have proven so. How serious and widespread the problem is is up for debate, but poor cooler content and board warping is a thing. Intel even confirmed it's a thing when they outright dismissed said thing as a problem.seems there is no issue apart from for certain cooler brands
yea and I got like margin of error difference as did some others in here.And you even bought a frame corrector yourself, so you at least acknowledge there is an issue, even if it didn't manifest in your specific use case.
Is there a list of which brands are more problematic? I'd argue that there's still some fault with Intel though designing a socket which is open to this kind of issue.yea and I got like margin of error difference as did some others in here.
seems only certain brands have issues, probably because their tolerances aren't tight enough for the flatness of their contact plate
The fact that these CPUs run to Intel's spec does not render these frames pointless; Intel's spec is dubious at best, outright wrong at worst.Which they won’t… so yeah, these frames are pointless.
These CPU’s are within spec. as per Intel.
Bought and fitted one of these as thought it sounded like a good idea. Haven't noticed much difference in temps but thermal compound coverage was very good already. I have a liquid cooler II with the backplate so maybe that's helped.Fitted mine on my 5.2Ghz 12900K today. Using a 360mm AIO before fitting it hit a maximum of 82c with OCCT 30 minute pass with everything set to "High" or "Extreme".
After fitting frame hit 76c. Will carry on testing but for £2.57 I don't think that's bad at all!
I haven't tested it, but with the temps im getting on a u12a and a 12900k, I find it unreasonable that a contact frame would do anything. I'm already at 80c running CBR23, how lower would it get?yea and I got like margin of error difference as did some others in here.

I'm guessing with a 12900k you wouldn't get lower, most peoples seem to run a lot hotter than yoursI haven't tested it, but with the temps im getting on a u12a and a 12900k, I find it unreasonable that a contact frame would do anything. I'm already at 80c running CBR23, how lower would it get?
Im going to test it soon just for curiosities sake but yeah, i doubt ill see any differenceI'm guessing with a 12900k you wouldn't get lower, most peoples seem to run a lot hotter than yours
