A brand new AMD Ryzen 7000 Direct-Die Water-Block has been released by Der8auer which offers up to 28C lower temps versus 280mm AIO.
Der8auer, the well-known overclocker, enthusiast & YouTuber from Germany is designing a new AMD Ryzen 7000 water block that rests directly on the die named the "AM5 Mycro Direct Die cooler," producing optimal thermal performance results compared to all-in-one (AIO) liquid coolers. The overclocking specialist tested the new direct die cooler on an AMD Ryzen 9 7900X CPU that was stressed to 90° C and tests show that it lowered the temperature to 65° C.
This new cooling solution from Der8auer will require users to remove the AMD Ryzen IHS which is otherwise known as the Integrated Heat Spreader so that the direct die block can achieve optimal contact with the processor and allow for the best thermal control.
The Der8auer Mycro Direct Die Water Block works with the high-performance heat spreader, also designed by Der8auer, which is used in place of the original mounting piece that comes with the AM5 socket to offer optimal control of the direct die block. The heat spreader makes direct contact with the trio (or duo in some cases) of chiplets featured on the AMD Ryzen 7000 CPUs.
The direct die cooling block is manufactured in acrylic and offers RGB & Non-RB lighting choices. At the same time, the separate heat spreader is built using a mirror-like diamond-milled precision surface. This will provide a superior surface for the processor to eliminate bending. These are only available for AMD's Ryzen 7000 CPUs.
In the above video from Der8auer, he demonstrates the design of the direct die water block and the heat spreader with AMD's Ryzen 9 7900X CPU, which he overclocked to 5 GHz with a voltage of 1.3
