The Thermalright ASF Black V2 AM5 CPU Holder is a fantastic addition to my PC build. It significantly improves the stability and security of my AM5 CPU, giving me peace of mind during installation and operation. The build quality is excellent, with a durable and precise design that ensures proper alignment.I also noticed that it helps to maintain better thermal performance by ensuring consistent contact between the CPU and cooler. The installation was straightforward, with clear instructions provided. For anyone using an AM5 socket, this is a must-have for protecting your investment and optimizing performance.Highly recommended for builders and enthusiasts who want reliability and enhanced safety for their setup!

I really didn't need this but I bought it for looks... and it looks great. Works as described and easy to install. Build quality is solid and my cpu isn't overheating.

Great fitment, clean machining. A verifiable drop in Core Temps, and keeps thermal paste from reaching the finer areas under the IHS, etc. Also, pairs perfectly with a Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120, or other like Air Coolers. AIOs as well I'm sure, but didn't use one here. Buy with confidence. Worth the small price of admission.

Looks stunning. Super secure. Lowered my thermals a few degrees. Keeps surrounding area clean from thermal paste. All wins. Great value.

I picked this up for my Ryzen 7 9800X3D—not because the CPU necessarily needed it, but because I wanted a cleaner and more controlled way to apply thermal paste. This bracket delivered exactly that. It feels solid and well-built, with no flimsy parts, and the installation was straightforward. It really helps eliminate the mess and stress during the CPU cooler mounting process. For the price, it’s a fantastic value compared to some of the more expensive alternatives out there. Definitely a smart, low-cost upgrade if you’re building on AM5.

This thing fits like a glove and was easy to install. 4 screws to remove lever plate and they provide four new screws and a tool for easy installation. I used a vetroo u6 on my 9950x and got a max of 58c running some 3dmark benchmarks. Will try cinebench but overall, i think it does help cool the cou and it just looks good and very secure. 5 stars!

Good fit, instructions were easy and all parts were neatly packaged together. No issues. The black finish wasn't totally flawless. There was a section on the front that looked like it cured differently but my cooler covered it anyways.

This made applying thermal paste to the 9800X3D trivial despite its odd shape compared to older processors. It took all the guesswork out of the process and eliminated the stress of making a mess with excess paste. Very easy to install, and my temps are about 10C cooler at idle than a friend with a similar setup. 100% recommend this to anyone, especially for the price. Zero reason not to use this in your build.
