Intel 12th/13th Generation Contact Frame LGA1700
This CNC-machined aluminum frame directly addresses the LGA 1700 socket's CPU bending issue, improving cooler contact for lower temperatures. Its anodized finish and insulated base pad provide a precise, short-circuit-proof fit that avoids motherboard capacitors. This kit is best for PC builders using 12th or 13th Gen Intel processors who want to optimize thermal performance and prevent long-term warping.
