Top rated CPU water cooler accessories

Here's a ranking of the top rated products in this category. To give you a quick overview, we've also added some key information about the products.

1. Thermal Grizzly Grizzly Intel 12th Gen CPU Contact Frame

The CPU Contact Frame for Intel 13th and 14th generation processors is an essential accessory for water cooling systems, replacing the original Integrated Loading Mechanism (ILM) of the motherboard. This mounting aid optimizes the clamping pressure, significantly improving cooling performance. Due to the altered dimensions of the Intel Raptor Lake processors and the associated changes to the LGA1700 socket, new mounting brackets are required. The standard ILM only has contact points in the center of the CPU, leading to uneven pressure distribution and a concave bulge of the Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS). The CPU Contact Frame shifts the clamping pressure from the center to the edges, achieving a uniform pressure distribution and a larger contact area with the CPU cooler. This allows for better coverage of the thermal hotspot and optimizes cooling performance, especially in overclocking applications.

Highlights:
- Made from high-quality aluminum for durability and optimal heat conduction
- Supports Intel LGA1700 socket, compatible with 13th and 14th generation processors
- Improves cooling performance through uniform pressure distribution and larger contact area. 

2. Noctua Upgrade Kit NM-i17xx-MP83

The NM-i17xx-MP83 is a SecuFirm2 mounting upgrade kit that allows Noctua CPU coolers with an 83mm mounting distance to be upgraded to Intel's latest LGA1700 platform. True to the SecuFirm2 tradition, it combines outstanding reliability, optimal contact pressure, and a simple, straightforward installation to enable Noctua users to continue using their coolers with Intel's latest Core series processors. 

3. Noctua Upgrade Kit NM-I17xx-MP78 CH.BK

The NM-i17xx-MP78 chromax.black mounting upgrade kit allows for the retrofitting of Noctua CPU coolers with a 78 mm mounting distance for Intel's LGA 1700 platform (LGA17xx family).

5. Noctua Upgrade Kit NM-i17xx-MP78

The SecuFirm2 Mounting Upgrade Kit NM-i17xx-MP78 allows Noctua CPU coolers with a 78 mm mounting distance to be retrofitted for Intel's LGA1700 platform. In the best SecuFirm2 tradition, the NM-i17xx-MP78 combines excellent reliability, optimal pressure contact, and easy installation, enabling Noctua coolers to be reused on Intel's latest Core processors.

Note: This mounting upgrade kit allows Noctua coolers designed for other sockets to be mounted on LGA1700 hardware. Since the height specifications of LGA17xx differ from those of other sockets, it is essential to ensure that your cooler and LGA17xx motherboard are fully compatible before installation. Please consult our compatibility database to confirm that your motherboard and cooler are fully compatible. Noctua cannot accept any liability for damages caused by compatibility issues.

Please note that the NM-i17xx-MP78 set is only compatible with coolers that have a mounting distance of 78 mm, and for coolers with an 83 mm mounting distance, the NM-i17xx-MP83 set must be used. With the NM-i17xx-MP78, Noctua continues its tradition of providing customers with new SecuFirm2 mounting sets free of charge. Owners of eligible cooler models can obtain the NM-i17xx-MP78 set through a corresponding form. A proof of purchase for an eligible Noctua CPU cooler and an LGA1700 motherboard or LGA1700 CPU is required for the order. Depending on the destination country, a paid express shipping option may be available. 

6. Thermal Grizzly AM5 Contact & Sealing Frame

Combination of contact frame and CPU guard

The AM5 Contact & Sealing Frame is a combination of contact frame and CPU guard for AMD's Ryzen 7000 processors. As a contact frame, the AM5 Contact & Sealing Frame creates optimal contact pressure of the CPU into the socket, while an optional inlay made of silicone foam serves to protect the exposed components on the CPU.
- Encloses the heat spreader
- Replaces the SAM of the mainboard
- Made of anodized aluminum

Optimized inner contour for even pressure distribution

The precision-milled inner contour of the AM5 Contact & Sealing Frame creates multiple contact points to the heat spreader compared to the standard SAM. These contact points distribute the contact pressure on the CPU evenly. This ensures that the contact surfaces of the CPU rest uniformly on the pins of the socket. For example, problems with the detection of system memory can be avoided this way.

Innovative silicone foam inlay for protection and sealing

The AM5 Contact & Sealing Frame comes with a silicone foam inlay. This can be placed on the PCB of the processor, similar to the AMD Ryzen 7000 CPU guard. When installing the AM5 Contact & Sealing Frame, the gap between the heat spreader and the aluminum frame is sealed by the silicone foam by pressing the foam onto the PCB. This prevents thermal paste or liquid metal from getting onto the CPU's unprotected components. The foam inlay is optional when used with thermal pastes, but mandatory when used with liquid metal.

User-friendly assembly with clear marking and compatibility

To simplify installation, there is a corresponding marking on the top of the AM5 Contact & Sealing Frame. Since the socket has a bulge on the upper edge, mounting is only possible in one orientation. Four screws are included for mounting the frame and compatibility with the Thermal Grizzly AM5 backplates is given. 

7. Noctua NM-AM4-UXS Upgrade Kit

Compatible with AM4 CPU socket. Exclusively supports NH-U14S, NH-U12S, and NH-U9S. With the NM-AM4 upgrade kit, you can retrofit your NH-U14S, NH-U12S, and NH-U9S coolers for AMD's AM4 socket (Ryzen).
