Does the job well
Fits perfectly my friend has a thermal grizzly contact frame, it is damn near the exact same. I like this one more though because it fits a bit tighter than the thermal grizzly one. Came with the wrench so that was easy to put on. I got it primarily so I can clean up thermal paste easily and it looks like I can do so very well. Likely cools better but 1-2°C is negligible. Strong and looks good.

The Thermalright ASF Black V2 AM5 CPU Holder is a fantastic addition to my PC build. It significantly improves the stability and security of my AM5 CPU, giving me peace of mind during installation and operation. The build quality is excellent, with a durable and precise design that ensures proper alignment. I also noticed that it helps to maintain better thermal performance by ensuring consistent contact between the CPU and cooler. The installation was straightforward, with clear instructions provided. For anyone using an AM5 socket, this is a must-have for protecting your investment and optimizing performance. Highly recommended for builders and enthusiasts who want reliability and enhanced safety for their setup!

A must for all AM5 socket CPU's! Game Changer!!!
To think that this little guy puts in so much work. Since purchase, this little block of Aluminum has saved me so much time and heartache. Not to mention, saving my brand new Ryzen 7800x3d during installation. It's so easy to use and very strait forward. The quality of the build is so precise, it literally fits like a glove! Solid aluminum construct will ensure the durability of this product longer than the PC will ever last and can be reused as many times as you want so it works well for any build. If you're using an AIO, th is is the perfect addition to your PC build to keep those temperatures regulated with no issues.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth Every Dollar – Noticeable Temperature Drop
Installed this plate on my Ryzen 7 9700X paired with a Corsair Titan 360 AIO, and the results were immediate. I saw temperature improvements ranging anywhere from 4–7°C cooler, with an average drop of about 4°C across normal use and load. Installation was straightforward and well worth the effort. For the price, the thermal improvement is excellent. If you’re running AM5 and want better temps, this is a must-have upgrade.

Great frame for my AMD CPU
A nice plate for the CPU to hold it in place as well as for AIO installation. For my AMD CPU since it has the ridges on the side i decided to get this plate for in case thermal paste gotten in the opening of the sides, but also seeing how the plate can help with temps and performance. This was nice secure frame for the CPU that is durable and compatible with AMD CPU's

Good quality
This thing fits like a glove and was easy to install. 4 screws to remove lever plate and they provide four new screws and a tool for easy installation. I used a vetroo u6 on my 9950x and got a max of 58c running some 3dmark benchmarks. Will try cinebench but overall, i think it does help cool the cou and it just looks good and very secure. 5 stars!

Really nice, but is it really necessary?
It is gorgeous little piece of machining! Solid, rigid. I've heard some people indicate compatibility issues with the X3D chips, but I don't have one, so I don't know. It fit my AM5 chip PERFECTLY. As others have said, it's a shame such a beautiful piece is hidden away. And given that it is pretty inexpensive, it seems worth getting, albeit not a must have either. Earlier AMD CPU chips, you could rip them out of their socket when removing the cooling fan. But the factory AM5 clip seems like it holds the CPU pretty well already. Not certain this really is a big improvement. It's super easy to install, it includes a tool for removing the factory clamp and installing this piece. To make sure you tighten it straight and clean. I suggest first putting in the screws loose, criss cross. 1, 3, 2, 4. Then slightly tighten criss cross. The final tighten criss cross. Don’t need excessive force, someone said they broke a screw. But getting all four screws pretty snug, and evenly tightened should hold the CPU well. Some people say it helps CPU temperatures. At first, I was dubious of the claim, wasn't sure what mechanism would be at work. But now I think it is probably true. This is a good-sized chunk of aluminum, and it comes into contact with the CPU around the clamping edges. That is only a small amount of contact area, so I doubt a whole lot of heat is transferred. But I did use a toothpick to put a tiny amount of heat sink paste around the clamping edges of the CPU to improve thermal conductivity from the CPU to this item. Again, I doubt it is a huge amount, some say 1 degree C. Given that this is inexpensive, it's probably worth it.

بالنسبة لمعالجات رايزن ما فيه فرق بدرجة الحرارة لكن لو خايف يوصل المعجون للمعالج انصحك تاخذ القطعة هذي بنفس الوقت ممتازة لحماية المعالج من انه ينثني مع الوقت

It’s much nicer than the contact frames that come with the motherboards themselves, it improves temperatures by 1°

AM5 doesn’t really need it but it does help keep thermal paste from going everywhere with the weird shaped CPU.
