  • Game-Changing Thermal Upgrade for AM5!!
Model: CSF-AM5
I installed the Thermal Grizzly AM5 Contact Frame on my Ryzen 9 7900X3D system with a Corsair H150i AIO and Arctic MX-6 thermal paste, and the results were better than expected. Before the upgrade, my CPU would peak at around 73°C during OCCT stress testing. After installing the contact frame and reapplying thermal paste, my max temperatures dropped to 67°C — a solid 5–6°C improvement under full load. The system now runs cooler, more stable, and with less thermal fluctuation during intense gaming and productivity tasks. I also noticed a slight drop in GPU temps during 4K benchmarks, likely due to better overall case thermals now that the CPU heat is dissipated more efficiently. Build quality is top-notch, installation was straightforward (just follow the instructions and be patient), and everything fit perfectly with my AIO. If you're using an AM5 CPU and want the most efficient and even pressure on your IHS, this frame is 100% worth it. Highly recommended for anyone running a Ryzen 7000 series chip with high-end cooling — especially if you’re aiming for long-term thermal efficiency and stability. ... show more

  • Excellent quality and noticeable improvements
Model: CSF-AM5
The Thermal Grizzly AM5 Contact Sealing Frame is genuinely impressive. Installation was straightforward, and the build quality feels premium the moment you handle it. Once in place, it made a clear difference more even pressure, better contact, and also improves performance and overall functionality with more stable temps on my Ryzen 7000 setup. I also like that it adds a layer of protection around the CPU, which gives some peace of mind during installs. If you want to get the best performance out of your AM5 system, this frame is absolutely worth it. ... show more

  • Not needed but awesome to have
Model: CSF-AM5
Got these just to ensure my build has the best possible components (i don't recall any bending issues for AMD but while it may not be needed, it is prudent to have). Using it with an msi x870e board with a 9950x3d and don't really know if it helps with cooling (using a corsair 420 titan..I live in Fiji and currently the weather is quite hot (not hot like Australia, that's crazy but still pretty hot and humid). After doing some under volting (yes per ccd) idle temps are 47-50 and load temps haven't crossed 81 degrees celcius (so far well used Aida64 and cinebench). I like Debauer and TG products overall (use their paste too the kryonaut extreme pink paste) and TG hasn't failed me yet. Would buy again..and again and again for as many builds I build but alas, it seems like the little guy (us all) cannot do little guy stuff at this time (since we have little guy money and prices are uppity now). Anyway, so long and thanks for all the fish. Vinaka TG and Amazon. ... show more

  • Excellent AM5 Upgrade — Better Pressure, Cleaner Mount, and Solid Protection
Model: CSF-AM5
The Thermal Grizzly AM5 Contact Sealing Frame is one of the better upgrades you can add to an AM5 setup. It replaces the stock SAM bracket and gives the CPU a more even, optimized pressure profile, which helps with cooler contact and keeps paste from spilling into the gaps around the IHS. The silicone inlay is a nice touch — it protects the exposed components around the Ryzen 7000 series CPUs and makes the whole mount feel more secure. Installation is straightforward, and the anodized aluminum frame feels premium. Once installed, the cooler mounts cleanly using the original AM5 backplate, and everything seats firmly. For the price (usually around $17–$20 depending on the seller), it’s a strong value considering the build quality and the improvement in mounting consistency. Overall, a well‑made, worthwhile upgrade for any AM5 build that gives cleaner pressure, better protection, and a more reliable mount. ... show more

  • Another win from TG.
Model: CSF-AM5
I love everything Der Bauer does so take this with a grain of salt but, its a great product, makes paste cleanup super easy, and looks nice.

  • Works and fits easy, small thermal paste, don't loose your backplate XD.
Model: CSF-AM5
Makes for a easy instal, great build quality and packaging, and good instruction. However not every motherboard back plate is the same. Be sure that you either know that the back plate is fashioned into the motherboard without anything being screwed into it. Or that you have the stock cooler stands installed before removing the stock cpu bracket. Also it can take more screwing depending on the motherboard. The thermal past tobe is also very small. ... show more

  • Is the "upcharge" worth it?
Model: CSF-AM5
First is this nicer than other Anodized IHS-ILM replacement kits? Yes! Is it worth 10-15$ more? Possibly because the paste you get is good for a few uses and is top tier paste with plenty of testing. You get the thermal pad that are hard to come bye and can cost 7-12$ themselves. You get 2$ in paste, a slightly better than "generic" AM5 ILM replacement, and $8 the thermal pad which are a pain to get. Which in individually would be $20-$30 purchased individually anyway. ... show more

  • High quality!
Model: CSF-AM5
I was a little intimidated at using this due to all the hype the MB manufacturers place on using their CPU holders. This thing made sense and looks great. Power the instructions I didn't use the gasket because I wasn't using liquid metal paste. Just be careful to not let the tools slip when preparing the MB and during the install, you don't want to damage any components. ... show more
