In this part of the video, the Tech Lab discusses an issue with Intel LGA 1700 socket boards that can cause mounting coolers to be challenging, affecting thermal performance. The issue arises due to the larger size of the CPUs and socket changes. To address this, they show how a contact plate can be installed to resolve the problem. The contact plate is a metal piece that replaces the current socket, ensuring proper cooler mounting and thermal performance. Additionally, they compare an older Intel CPU with the new 12th gen LGA 1700 CPU, highlighting the size difference. The Tech Lab plans to install the contact plate to prevent any potential thermal issues with their temporary i3 processor.
