Thermal Grizzly has officially introduced an updated contact frame for the LGA1851 socket, which houses Intel's all-new Core Ultra 200S (Arrow Lake) desktop processors. The Intel 1851 CPU Contact Frame V1 promises temperature reductions of up to four degrees Celsius when switching from the Reduced-Load ILM (RL-ILM) and up to six degrees Celsius from the standard ILM.
The Intel LGA 1851 CPU Contact Frame V1 performs the same function as its predecessors on the LGA1700 socket. The modified contact frame evenly spreads out contact pressure over all four borders of the CPU. This is an improvement over the stock installation mechanism, which Thermal Grizzly states creates "concave bending of the CPU’s Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS) caused by the standard Integrated Loading Mechanism (ILM)."
