With the 13th/14th Gen CPU Contact Frame from der8auer, Thermal Grizzly offers a mounting aid for Intel socket LGA1700 motherboards. The contact frame replaces the standard ILM of the motherboard and improves the cooling performance of the CPU cooler through optimized contact pressure.

It does the job it promises. Before I installed it, I measured temperatures under full load, the processor (13600K) reached 98⁰C on its hottest core and experienced thermal throttling (only on that one though). After the frame was installed (of course, the machine was cleaned of dust, new paste was obviously applied, etc.), during the same process I used to install the processor before, the same hottest core reached a peak of 87⁰C. At idle, I gained about 4-5⁰C. Additionally, better numbers in Cinebench with an improvement of around ~3%. BIOS settings were the same before and after.
For ~26€ at the time I bought it, I'm not sure if it's worth it, but I got it with a discount at 16€, which I consider a good price for such a job. Care is needed during installation (screw it in gradually in a crisscross pattern until the screws are tight, but don’t overdo it) and everything is fine. Stress test the CPU afterward to make sure everything is okay.
In the package, it also includes extra screws if you don't want to use the Intel stock ILM ones, along with two screwdrivers (one for the Intel stock ILM and one for its own screws).
It's worth the money, it really lowered the temperature!! Be careful, it needs to be screwed in well, otherwise it causes a short circuit resulting in half of the mobo having power and the other half not, you realize it when the keyboard has power while the mouse does not, for example, or if half of the lights on the mobo or the case turn on while the other half do not.
Unjustifiably expensive (there is a relative justification that it is produced in a factory in Germany, but 30 euros while ThermalRight gives them for 5 dollars?) Anyway, for the latest generation Intel processors, the new liquid coolers include a contact frame (see Arctic Liquid III) and soon motherboards will come with pre-installed frames.
