Thermalright ASF Black V2 AM5 CPU Holder

Thermalright ASF V2 Corrective Anti-Bending Frame — AM5 CPU Holder

Premium Build & Structural Integrity

The Thermalright ASF V2 Corrective Anti-Bending Frame is a precision-machined accessory engineered to enhance CPU mounting stability and long-term reliability on AMD AM5 platforms. Replacing the stock retention mechanism, this corrective frame ensures even pressure distribution during cooler installation, helping prevent CPU bending and pressure stress over time.

Crafted from high-strength aluminum alloy with a refined anodized finish, the ASF V2 offers superior durability and corrosion resistance while remaining lightweight. Its precisely cut and rounded profile ensures a secure fit without damaging the CPU surface or motherboard components.

Improved Thermal Contact

Insulated Protective Pads

Easy Installation, AM5 Ready

By maintaining the structural flatness of the CPU’s integrated heat spreader (IHS), the frame supports better thermal paste contact and cooling efficiency. This is especially beneficial when using high-pressure air coolers or heavy liquid cooling solutions that can introduce uneven downward force.

The insulated foot pads integrated into the design reduce electrical risk and prevent unintended contact during installation. These pads help maintain safe clearances even when thermal paste spreads to the edges of the CPU.

The frame includes an L-shaped screwdriver for quick, straightforward mounting. It is purpose-built for AMD AM5 sockets and supports motherboards based on X670, B650, and A620 chipsets — ideal for systems using Ryzen 7000-series and future AM5 CPUs.
