Review: A great complimentary addition to your PC - Although not technically necessary with AM5 CPUs, the contact frame DOES help with thermals a tiny bit (due to the increased thermal mass surrounding the CPU) from my initial testing anyway. The frame is made from solid aluminum and feels quite durable. Not sure if it’s CNC or cast aluminum but it will probably last forever. The look, fit, and overall design is spot on. I use mine with a Ryzen 7 7800X3D and it works great. This frame will work with all Ryzen 7000 CPUs and it also has a seal that goes around the base of the CPU to ease the mounting pressure a bit, or prevent thermal compound leakage, although I’m unsure if that’s what it’s for. The type of cooler you use doesn’t matter from what I’ve seen, just make sure it will mount properly and that even mounting pressure is applied to the cooler. Cleaning the CPU of thermal compound can be tricky because the paste tends to cake within the inner edges of the frame, while not an issue in most cases it can become an issue over time due to dried paste buildup. Overall, a very easy to install addition to your PC to aid with thermals and give your CPU socket a cleaner look. 10/10
Review: Game-Changing Thermal Upgrade for 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent quality and noticeable improvements
*by K***N on December 6, 2025*

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.
