MSI CPU Guard 1151 to protect your processor

Is this like an extra IHS on top of the IHS?

 

It's more like a clamp (cramp for those who are British or Australian)

 

Look at the picture... it is not.
It's just an extra piece of metal around the IHS.

 

Yeah looks more solid than this Intel original socket:

and is this gona come with there boards or is gona be option peice?

 

Novelty item...most mobo's are vertical when operational so damage would have been done/come from installation of processor.

 

Regardless of how rarely it would actually be useful, it comes at almost no cost to MSI to make a more sturdy mounting bracket. Someone out there, some day, will have a CPU saved from being bent thanks to a stronger bracket like this. It's a good move. That negligible amount of metal extra is worth paying for. If you're already paying $150-$400 for a motherboard what's another dollar?

 

No, it's still clamp
