As a final part of our CPU Contact Frame for Intel 12th Gen coverage, we're testing and reviewing the Walmart CPU frame by putting it on our $800 test CPU -- hopefully it goes OK. This CPU contact frame follows our previous reviews of Intel "unbending" CPU frames, starting with the Thermal Grizzly contact frame and leading to the Thermalright contact frame. Now, we're looking at the Binyou or Cheukchi frame from Walmart and Amazon only. We haven't heard of these companies, but the product is simple enough, so it's cheap enough. At $8 to $14 or so, these frames land between Thermalright (which is a known brand) and Thermal Grizzly (which bills itself as a 'premiere' brand, priced at $35).

We're running low on our 3D Drink Coaster Packs! These custom-designed, PC-themed coasters support our in-depth testing work and get you a high-quality, unique product in return! We have no current plans to re-order the current coaster designs, but these will be part of a collectible series. If you've wanted some, get them before they're gone! https://store.gamersnexus.net/product...
