Has anyone ever used a CPU Contact Frame for the LGA 1700 in a recent build with a 360mm AIO Cooler?

I’m in the process of building a gaming rig and I'm not too happy with Intel’s LGA 1700 ILM setup.

Intel’s CPU Independent loading mechanism (ILM) for LGA 1700 sockets are becoming problematic due to its larger and rectangular shaped CPU (IHS) leading to offset cooling.

Basically, the CPU is not lying as flat as it should be compared to the older square CPU IHS using the default Intel’s ILM system.

Keep in mind, I’m not talking about lapping or delidding the CPU IHS or using a Nitrogen setup. That’s just over the top for this basic build.

I was looking at the OLED a while back and heard that the OLED has problem with screen burn-in.

The 4k @ 144 hz was a no for me. I went with a IPS monitor @ 240 Hz in 2021.
those are suck /


build new pc and the monitor plug to Earth so you will have better view (y)(y)(y)(y)
 
for me, this game, at 75hz, all settings low, is 60 kill game(i used to do that)
it's alive GIF's alive GIF
Lol, my monitor is 60Hz. And my gfx card died :(
