EK unveiled several direct die CPU water blocks featuring AMD's Ryzen AM5 and Intel's Core LGA 1700 processors.

Current-Gen Intel Core & AMD Ryzen CPUs Run Real Hot, EK Wants To Address That With Its Direct Die CPU Cooling Solutions

Over a year ago, EK Water Blocks introduced its first mainstream direct-die CPU water block, designed explicitly for delidded Intel CPUs. Since its debut, there has been a significant increase in users opting to delid their CPUs since modern-day chips are getting hotter and hotter, look at the Intel 14th Gen lineup or AMD's high-end Ryzen 7000 CPUs as an example.

Building on this trend, EK just released the first-ever All-In-One CPU cooler tailored for delidded Intel and AMD CPUs, a product that has received highly positive feedback and reception.

AMD SOCKET AM5 DIRECT DIE CPU COOLING

First up is the highly anticipated EK Direct Die solution for Socket AM5 AMD Ryzen CPUs. Countless hours of engineering and testing were invested into these products to ensure consistent performance results and a user-friendly installation process. Unlike other solutions that require modifying an existing cold plate, this water block features a cold plate specifically designed for delidded AM5 Ryzen 7000 Series CPUs.

The mounting mechanism differs from the Velocity² Direct Die water block, as it relies on standoffs at the four corners of the water block instead of the cold plate making contact with the die guard. The entire fin structure has been adjusted to direct 100% of the flow over the chiplets themselves, but more details on this topic will be available in the following days when these AMD-specific Direct Die CPU water blocks become available for order.

INTEL LGA1700 SOCKET DIRECT DIE CPU COOLING

Next up will be a brand new Intel LGA1700 water block built from the ground up, designed specifically for delidded CPUs. It bears improvements that benefit
