These IHS replacements for Intel and AMD CPUs are pure-copper DIY kits

pcgamer.com:

Overclocking used to be a bit of an extreme sport offshoot of the PC gaming world, only performed by people willing to take some risks to see how far they could push their hardware. Now it’s a bit different. Many chips have overclocking options accessible straight in the BIOS, letting everyone get a taste. That being said, there are still the hardcore out there happily tearing the tops off their CPUs trying for the best gains, though even this kind of process is getting much easier, thanks to delid kits designed specifically for the purpose. 

Spotted by TechPowerUp, RockIt Cool is one such company specialising in these delid kits. They sell both delid and relid kits, designed to give you all the tools you need to DIY your CPU to new temperature lows. They have different options depending on the CPU you want to mutilate, and come with pure-copper IHS replacements. There are even markings on the IHS to help with the application of liquid metal, making this fairly risky upgrade as easy as possible.

But more importantly they look baller as heck. The little piece of metal sitting on top of the CPUs gives an extra layer of class to the build, even if you won’t see it tucked away in your case, hidden under your cooler. Copper does a great job of dispersing heat, so it’s an excellent choice for a new lid on a CPU. 

RockIt Cool claims it managed to drop 15C off the operating temperatures of an Intel i9 12900K using one of its copper lids and thermal interface material, but that seems a bit too good to be true. I don't think most users should expect to see results anywhere near this impressive. 

Regardless, customer
