so i am building my first real gaming computer and i just saw a video that says my cpu might bend?? its an intel i7 13700k and apparently the latch thing on the motherboard is bad or something i dont know but now im really scared im gonna break a $400 chip. my friend said i need a contact frame to keep it flat and stop the overheating but when i look them up there are different brands and i have no idea what the difference is. i see one from thermalright that is like 10 bucks and then another one from thermal grizzly that costs way more like 40 or 50 dollars i think.

is the expensive one actually better for someone like me who has never done this before? i dont want to mess up the pins on the board because i heard thats a nightmare to fix. i need to order this tonight so it gets here by friday when my parts arrive.

• something easy to install so i dont break anything
• under 30 dollars if possible because i spent all my money on the gpu
• actually helps with the heat because i live in a tiny apartment in florida and it gets so hot in here
• works with an msi pro motherboard

is the cheap thermalright one safe or is it gonna ruin my warranty or something? i keep reading conflicting stuff and my head is spinning... i just want to make sure my pc doesnt melt when i try to play games this weekend. what do you guys think i should get?
