Thermal Grizzly Intel 13th & 14th Gen CPU Contact Frame – LGA1700 Upgrade

The Thermal Grizzly Intel 13th & 14th Generation CPU Contact Frame is a precision-engineered mounting frame designed to replace the stock ILM (Integrated Loading Mechanism) on Intel’s Raptor Lake (13th Gen) and Raptor Lake Refresh (14th Gen) processors.

Standard ILM designs can apply uneven pressure, leading to CPU bending and poor cooler contact. This contact frame, developed in collaboration with der8auer, ensures even mounting pressure across the CPU IHS, resulting in a flatter CPU surface, improved thermal transfer, and reduced operating temperatures.

Made from CNC-machined anodized aluminum, it is lightweight yet highly durable, making it ideal for enthusiasts, overclockers, and system builders who want to unlock the maximum thermal efficiency from their Intel platforms. Easy to install and fully compatible with most air and liquid cooling systems, this upgrade is a must-have for high-performance PC builds.
