Pretty cool
“The company offers two versions: one with just the water block for those with a delidding kit and a "signature" edition with Thermal Grizzly delidding hardware. The kit allows you to remove the heat spreader easily or delid the CPU so that the dies can be exposed for direct-die cooling. This will void your warranty, of course, and too much pressure applied at the wrong angle can crack the dies. However, a water block like this designed for these chips will significantly reduce the risks involved.
EK isn't offering any cooling numbers for this particular water block, but we've seen direct-die cooling offer substantial cooling benefits in the past. For example, we previously reported on a Ryzen 7900X having its temperature lowered by 20Cwith direct-die cooling, and Noctua makes an AM5 kit that can lower CPU temps by up to 15C.”
