CPU Mounting Frame provides a defined load path to distribute contact force evenly across the CPU’s integrated heat spreader. Uneven pressure during socket engagement can result in localized stress, leading to partial pin contact, impedance mismatches, and intermittent signal degradation. The frame eliminates pressure concentration by enforcing symmetric Z-axis compression, which is critical for maintaining contact integrity in high-speed LGA sockets supporting interfaces such as DDR5 and PCIe Gen5.
CPU Mounting Frame minimizes mechanical deformation of the PCB during processor mounting and heatsink attachment. In multi-layer boards with reduced thickness or high copper densities, board flex can induce layer misregistration, pad lifting, or internal via damage. By applying counteracting forces across a rigid mounting boundary, CPU Mounting Frame stabilizes the substrate, maintains surface planarity, and prevents mechanical damage that may otherwise result from thermal expansion or torque-induced distortion.
CPU Mounting Frame plays a crucial role in maintaining flat, parallel mating surfaces between the CPU and the thermal interface assembly. As CPUs operate at higher thermal design powers (TDPs), any non-uniformity in contact pressure can increase thermal resistance and reduce heat sink efficiency. With machined flatness within ±0.02 mm and calibrated mounting force distribution, CPU Mounting Frame ensures optimal TIM compression and consistent thermal conduction under dynamic temperature profiles.

Used to maintain socket compression and thermal interface uniformity in high-TDP processors deployed on dense multi-socket server boards.
Ensures mechanical stability for CPUs with high core counts under continuous thermal cycling in compute-intensive simulation and analytics workloads.
Provides socket alignment and vibration resistance in CPU modules deployed in remote radio heads and 5G base station enclosures.
Secures compact CPUs in fanless enclosures, maintaining thermal path reliability and mechanical loading tolerance in rugged environmental conditions.
Stabilizes CPU mounting in real-time control boards exposed to shock, vibration, and fluctuating ambient temperatures during machine operation.
Supports thermal and structural requirements of CPUs in mission-critical systems designed for high shock, altitude, and electromagnetic interference conditions.
CPU Mounting Frame incorporates retention features that allow repeated CPU or heatsink removal without degrading the mechanical integrity of the PCB or socket. Rework cycles, especially in field-serviceable systems, can induce fatigue in standoffs or mounting holes. The frame’s high-modulus material and stable anchoring system enable repeated engagement with controlled torque, preventing micro-creep and preserving socket co-planarity throughout extended service intervals.
CPU Mounting Frame is dimensionally matched to a range of processor socket standards including Intel® LGA1700, LGA4189, AMD® SP5, SP6, and custom embedded BGA configurations. Each frame is machined with tolerance control specific to socket keep-out zones, heatsink clearance envelopes, and mechanical Z-height budgets. This ensures zero interference with neighboring components and maintains alignment within CPU mechanical load limits specified by OEM datasheets.

Frigate machines each CPU Mounting Frame with flatness tolerances within ±0.02 mm to ensure parallel alignment with the socket interface. This reduces any Z-axis tilt that can disturb LGA contact reliability. Frames are aligned using precision dowel holes referenced to the socket center. This keeps surface deflection minimal during thermal and mechanical loading.
Frigate offers CPU Mounting Frames in anodized aluminum and high-strength glass-filled PEEK for superior stiffness and low CTE. These materials perform well in shock-prone environments like defense or automotive boards. The frames retain structural geometry under continuous stress without loosening fasteners. This is essential for vibration-sensitive socket designs like BGA-on-flex assemblies.
Yes, Frigate custom-engineers CPU Mounting Frames with variable thickness and reinforced zones to counter asymmetric heatsink weight. This prevents torsional strain on the socket even when cooling modules are offset. Mounting holes can be repositioned to balance uneven load vectors. This keeps package-to-socket pressure distribution within mechanical spec limits.
Frigate uses 3D CAD data from the customer to define keep-out zones, mounting hole spacing, and socket stack height. Prototypes are inspected with CMM equipment to verify all mechanical tolerances. Frame outlines are adjusted to clear nearby SMT components without violating layout rules. Each design goes through thermal simulation for assembly stress analysis.
Frigate offers torque-controlled fastener systems including spring-loaded standoffs, pre-calibrated captive screws, and torque-limiting inserts. These features help maintain socket compression without overloading the PCB or warping the CPU lid. The designs comply with manufacturer-recommended compression specs for Intel and AMD processors. Frigate also supports secondary retention features for post-installation stability.
