The recent fiasco regarding the possible bending of Intel 6th Generation Processors when using heavy-weight cooling solutions has made MSI come up with a solution. Although this possible bending might not happen right away, it could result in unwanted effects. MSI unveils their CPU GUARD 1151 to protect your Socket 1151 Intel Xeon E3 V5 / Core / Pentium processor which strengthens the corners of the processor socket to withstand the vertical pressure from the coolers.
The CPU GUARD 1151 is also a good tool for those looking to ‘delid’ their 6th Generation Intel processor. It is designed to tightly lock the HIS when re-applying the IHS, making it stay in its place without worrying about optimal thermal performance or movement. The CPU GUARD 1151 was proven effective when it was used during an overclocking event recently, helping top overclockers to push their Skylake CPU to the max and breaking world records.
