Thermal Grizzly AM5 Contact Sealing Frame - Contact Frame & CPU Guard Combination - Optimizes Contact Pressure Points & Protects Components - for AMD Ryzen 7000 CPUs

I think i must have left my last review and after doing some research here is a summarised actual purpose of this product and its really great:Now i am giving it a complete 5 star:"First, to correct the premise of my question: the Thermal Grizzly CPU Contact Frame is not a non-metal component. It is made of anodized aluminum, which is a highly durable and structurally stable metal.Its function is not to add to the thermal conductivity itself, but to solve a known physical problem with Intel's LGA 1700 CPUs.Here is a breakdown of how it works and how it improves cooling performance:The Problem: The Bending CPUIntel's LGA 1700 CPUs (for 12th, 13th, and 14th Gen Core processors) are known to have a "bending" or "warping" issue. The stock CPU retention mechanism, or "lid," applies pressure unevenly, causing the Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS) on top of the CPU to become slightly concave or warped over time.This warping creates a major problem for cooling:The IHS, which is supposed to be perfectly flat, loses good contact with the cold plate of the CPU cooler.This creates tiny air gaps and an uneven, thicker layer of thermal paste, both of which act as thermal insulators.Heat transfer from the CPU to the cooler is significantly hindered, leading to higher temperatures and potential thermal throttling.The Solution: Even PressureThe Thermal Grizzly CPU Contact Frame is designed to replace the stock retention mechanism. It works by:Removing the stock lid: You unscrew and remove the stock retention mechanism that comes with your motherboard.Installing the frame: You place the aluminum Thermal Grizzly frame over the CPU.Applying even pressure: The new frame has a more precise design that applies perfectly even pressure across all four sides of the CPU.How This Improves Thermal PerformanceBy applying even pressure, the aluminum contact frame effectively flattens the warped CPU IHS. This ensures that the entire surface of the IHS makes direct, perfect contact with the cold plate of the CPU cooler.The result is:A much thinner and more uniform layer of thermal paste, which is a better conductor of heat.The elimination of microscopic air gaps.Significantly better heat transfer from the CPU to the cooler.So, the Thermal Grizzly CPU Contact Frame does not add a thermal cooling factor in and of itself. Rather, it is a structural component that fixes a physical flaw in the CPU's shape, thereby allowing your actual CPU cooler to perform at its maximum potential."

Good product but not noticeable difference

It's a piece of plastic not metal
