[@ozzman100br4]

In Derbauer's video he said the screws needed to be a certain torque. He marked the screws and used the lines on the bracket to turn each screw a half rotation if I remember correctly. Probably an important detail.

[@noba4696]

Yeah, but that is pretty much the idiot-proof Variant. Jay knew to be careful with the bracket tilting and loosened/retightened the screws, so he should be fine.

[@Makaveli6103]

Gamer's Nexus also had a great tutorial on how to install it.

[@IDv8I]

Yeah maybe this is a good time to read the instructions...I am yelling at my screen and I hope you can hear me. I told my wife you can, when she asked who I was yelling at. "Read the instructions Jay! mark the screws...omg JAY!"

[@RealRaynedance]

Because it was cheaper to not bother.

Because for Intel it just has to be "good enough". As long as the temps are within spec during normal operations of the CPU why would go through extra effort and cost to redesign the lever?

Hey Jay they make sheet metal rivet nuts of all different sizes, thread size and types, and material. This makes life so much easier removing the mini monitor from the top without all the dismantling and might come in handy for future case mods.

That glass cutter of yours could also do well with giving you some bits to replace the fan covers with. It would be a good way to use otherwise-scrap glass and also provide content on how to apply an adhesive made for prioritizing opacity well.

No need for mat. Just get a small bowl or saucer to hold the screws

[@grizzleebair]

That is why I respect you big time Jay, rather than redo a fully detailed video on what GN already did, you just tell us and move onto how it benefits your build, etc. Most of us tech savvy viewers follow the people you reference already. Also, this is why Ber8auer probably sent a version of this to GN early on, so he would neutrally review and prove it is good. What better promotion of your product than send it to a detail oriented Tech YTer that regularly tears crappy products apart, literally. In his review and then afterwards, literally.

[@daracummins6234]

[@crisnmaryfam7344]

With all the room and such you have to play with it wouldnt be hard to yank a nice looking setup from another case and fab it in. Paint it up the same color and make it look like it was made that way. IF you planned on having it open (no side panel) like he mentioned you could even have it turned 90 degrees and open from the side... would be pretty kewl.

I'm the definite function over form type of guy, so I went with a full black, no-RGB setup.

I already bought this contact frame from Thermalright a while ago and it definitely improved the temps on my 12700k. Better off getting the Thermalright one if you're on a budget. It's less then half the price and actually in stock. Does the exact same thing and gives identical results.

[@MistyKathrine]

Yeah I literally just got my theralright one in the mail today because I couldn't find the thermal grizzly one. A few people said the Thermalright one was just as good, so I'm going to try installing it later tonight to see how much it improves because my 12700k runs pretty hot and being able to knock a few degrees off of it would be amazing.

[@PabzRoz]

@@MistyKathrine Yeahhh... The 12700k is a hot boy for sure lol.

[@johnkon2810]

Great tip. Thanks 👍

[@PabzRoz]

@@shakltn Definitely does the job and didn't feel cheep either. Thermalright has always been good at offering quality at an affordable price. After using their Peerless Assassin 120 cooler in a previous build that I bought for only $40 on amazon and got similar temps to an NH-D15 I became an instant fan of the company lol. Using their 12th gen contact frame I got an average temperature drop of 5 degrees. Super happy with that result. But it completely depends on how good your contact was before the mod. You could come out with a huge difference or none at all. I just personally like buying new shiny things lol.

[@DuckyBee156]

That bendy tool for the monitor screws blew my mind! Works wonderfully

[@mk500]

My favorite part of this whole video is seeing Jayz use a sensible thermal spreading technique that I’ve been considering using on my new build; and then having him say he always does it that way. Love it! I’m using thermal grizzly to make up for you not doing so :-)

[@dotholo]

Phil - For the screws on the 3D printed holder for the monitor, make a hole in the top of the plastic that is the exact shape of the nut! This will allow you to only have to unscrew the screw, not the nut and then the screw, then you could flip the screw/nut spots so you can unscrew the mount from the top :)

[@shadyweaver]

I have an OEM-only monitor arm that does this, it makes servicing really easy!

[@seanthiar]

If you make a 3d printed part you can always watch the print and insert the nut at the right time while the FLM printer is printing and get that way the nut embedded in the plastic. You will never loose the nut.

[@dotholo]

@@seanthiar That's true, but if you already know your printers' tolerances you can make the nut never fall out, I have quite a few designs with this

[@WarpRulez]

This is the reason why I will never even _consider_ using a custom waterloop: There are so many things that become infinitely more laborious to do compared to a non-custom cooling setup. A custom waterloop is the perfect example of "awesome but impractical".

[@lyianx]

"impractical" is stretching it. Unnecessary? For most people, sure. More maintenance? definitely. It really depends on what your looking to get out of it, and what you are willing to do. But impractical implies its meaningless to do, which isnt true.

I've repasted the cpu 5 times, did the washer mod, replaced the aio and cpu and still have this issue. Is this simply a contact issue between the cpu and aio cold plate or could my mobo be bad? I'm not against using this contact frame but at this point, I feel like I'm just throwing parts at it. Beyond the new aio, cpu. and repasting, I've confirmed the aio pump is working via bios reading rpms and I can hear water in the radiator.

[@stevesls007]

Thanks Jay! I am 100% onboard with the CPU bracket. Unfortunately, they seem impossible to locate here in the USA. I have a Thermal Grizzly unit on its way to me from Germany, with the shipping cost, actually more than the cost of the frame, bringing the total coat delivered at just over $100 (ouch). I've noted numerous similar CPU frames on Amazon for under $25 that appear to be identical designs, but have no idea if they offer the same level of quality / uniformity as the Debauer frame. I imagine we'll see the Thermal Grizzly / Debauer frame available here sooner or later, but I don't want to wait for that eventuality. All the best!

13:31 seeing the bios on that tiny screen is so adorable lol

Should have posted Temps, even without the delta before der8auer block, still cool to see how the fans+case+water+cpu bracket all come together to be X temperature. Gives some of us ideas on what to shoot for

[@RicardoPenders]

Man that thing looks cool, love the lighting scheme.

I love your setup build Jay, It looks so slick 😎 I'm glad you were able to get your Thermal Grizzly on as well for your 12900k 😁. Now I need to get my thermal grizzly mount as well for my 12900kf too. BUT I love your build Jay its so slick 😎

When tentioning those screws, I am guessing you have to do it diagonally like a car engine etc. Also you need to put on a certain torque, too much is just as bad as too little.

I bought the thermalright bend correcting frame for my 12700k because I wasn't able to get one of the contact frames from thermal grizzly. It's helped a lot so far. I used to have a core that was always about 10c hotter than the rest, and now that core is the same temps as the second hottest core, about 4c higher than most. Also got a very slight drop in temps across the board, but the biggest thing is that it fixed a memory issue I was having. I couldn't run 64gb ram without crashing in memory intensive programs and games. I verified my ram was all good, but it just kept crashing with all 64gb in there so I had to run 32gb. After installing the new cpu frame, I don't get those crashes and was able to put the extra 32gb back in there and haven't had any issues at all, where as before I was crashing about 10 minutes into editing session or game.

I have a I fixit kit and did not know that was how you used the bendy part(with a actual screwdriver)...LOL

4:13 The best ACTUAL ad for a product. Nothing beats an honest "I really like this thing" when using it for something not related to the normal paid endorsement.

Jay. Assuming there is space for nuts on the underside of the frame (where the PSU is). Put some captive nuts on the underside (could probably just epoxy them on if you don't feel comfortable welding). This means you can undo the screws just from the top side and not have to remove the PSU.

Hi Jay, a while since Intel 12th Gen came out with all the Windows 11 issues. Do you have an update on if the problems have gotten better? Or is it still just as bad? The main tech channels I follow don't really have any updates on the matter. You are really the only channel that would update on these things that I trust.

This reminds me of that time I tried a plexi glass case. When I had to yank the whole motherboard just to change out a disk drive I went back to regular cases.
