This article covers Thermalright AM5 セキュアフレーム ブラック V2 CPUホルダー.

Overview

The Thermalright AM5 Secure Frame Black V2 is a precision-machined aluminum CPU holder designed to prevent bending of AMD AM5 processors. It replaces the standard CPU retention mechanism, distributing cooler mounting pressure evenly across the integrated heat spreader. This reduces the risk of CPU warping under heavy coolers, ensuring stable performance and prolonged processor lifespan. The frame measures 70x54x6mm and weighs just 20g, making it nearly invisible once installed. It comes with an L-shaped screwdriver for easy installation.

Connectivity & Compatibility

This secure frame is exclusively compatible with AMD AM5 socket motherboards, including chipsets such as X670 and B650 series. It installs directly onto the CPU socket, replacing the original retention frame. Standard CPU cooler mounting mechanisms remain fully compatible, so most air and liquid coolers work without modification. However, users with large coolers that use custom backplates should verify clearance before installation. The frame itself does not interfere with any connectors or RAM slots.

Product Info

The Thermalright AM5 Secure Frame Black V2 is an affordable accessory for AM5 builds, typically priced between $20–30 USD (or around ¥3,000–4,000 in Japan). It is a refinement of the original Secure Frame, offering better surface treatment and non-marking edges. The package includes the aluminum frame, an L-shaped hex screwdriver, and installation instructions. Thermalright's standard warranty applies; check with your retailer for specific coverage.

Best Use Cases

Builders using AMD Ryzen 7000/9000 series CPUs who want to prevent potential CPU bending under heavy coolers, especially large dual-tower air coolers or AIO liquid coolers. First-time PC builders who prefer a more straightforward and precise CPU installation process, reducing the chance of uneven pressure. * Enthusiasts who frequently swap coolers or perform maintenance—the frame remains mounted and protects the CPU lid from scratches over repeated installations.
