They Fixed Intel's 12th Gen BENDING CPU Problem!

Let’s get started with intel. So the company released alder lake a couple of months ago. Great comeback from the blue team in terms of performance and even value. But people have been seeing some weird issues with the CPU itself. Now as you might have noticed from many reviews online, the cpu sometimes runs pretty hot. I mean 90+ degrees celsius happens pretty often when stress testing and especially when you look at the 12900K and KS.

Well, that might not be because the chip can consume all the way up to 240 watts when on load. Apparently, the cpu itself, like the PCB and heatspreader, that might be the cause. Here is an example posted by Jisaku hibi on youtube. Right her, they show the cpu in the socket. As you can see, its not tied down by the bracket just yet. That big black thing on top of the cpu is a reference for flatness you can barely see light pass through the crack. Now look at what happens after the cpu is tied down. Now that’s a bendy boy.

It might not seem like much, but basically, this huge gap has to be filled with thermal paste and it makes for pretty bad contact with the cooler. Now intel knows about this and basically says that theres nothing to see here. Well, Thermalright doesnt seem to agree because they just released a bender correction frame for the CPU. Its a replacement to the original bracket for LGA 1700 and it bolts into the existing bracket holes to keep your cpu flat. I mean thermalright is a trustworthy company when it comes to cooling, so if they needed to come out with a solution, then we know that there was a problem.
