Do you think Arctic can release a standard mount for the LGA1851 in the future

[Feconi]

Good afternoon! I was glad when the news came out about the release of the new Arctic Liquid Freezer III, but unfortunately, I noticed that the mount for the LGA 1851 is a Contact Frame.

 

Intel says the maximum dynamic compression force for the LGA 1851 socket has increased from 489.5 N to 923 N, an increase of 89 percent, so that the LGA 1851 will not have a problem with the CPU cover sparking. Therefore, using the Contact Frame with the LGA 1851 brings nothing but the danger of damage to the components or lose the warranty.

Probably not. Their contact frame is fine and uses the official spec for mounting force from intel as long as it is installed according to the manual.

 

Lga 1851 funnily enough has a similar flexing of the board issue as lga1700. Lesser of course as intel did make improvements but its still there and seems arctic went for a perma fix option  by just have a plate.

Why would they ? There's no danger with a contact frame, and it can only improve the chip "straightness"

"as long as it is installed according to the manual" The manual do not say how many degrees you need to screw the contact frame. This means that the user can easily overtighten and end up with a broken motherboard or under-tighten.

If you tighten the screws even a little more, it can cause damage to the motherboard

Example:

That is the joy of buying many products that have to be screwed in place - not enough info. 

 

I used the TR BCF LGA1700 even though I didn't really need it in order to see what would happen and make a video. It is very easy to install a BCF from any maker unless you are one of those people who habitually over-tighten. Once the resistance changes from mild to strong, which happens quickly, you stop. Try jiggling the frame. If it doesn't move, you are done. 

 

Unlike working on a car engine, hand-tightening anything mounted to plastic always has the risk of cracking it, so exert prudence.

Example:

They have screw stops on these the only way to overdo it is if you simply just keep screwing with A LOT of force. Something you can so on any cooler and something that will wreck any cooler.
