AMD Ryzen 7000 Direct-Die Water Block Delivers Up To 28C Temps Drop Compared To 280mm AIO
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.
AM5 Mycro Direct Die Cooler for AMD Ryzen 7000 processors lowers temperatures by up to 28C In an early stage, expected to sell for €100
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 V. Several other coolers were tested to show the usefulness of his new product design, including a comparison with a typical 280mm AIO liquid cooler option.

The Mycro Direct Die cooling block demonstration from Der8auer was paired against a 280 mm liquid cooler. It offered much better cooling versus the other solutions on the AMD Ryzen 7000 CPUs, with the former receiving a 28-degree reduction (in Celsius) compared to the stock liquid cooling solution.

The Mycro Direct Die cooling solution is not available yet but will release soon for close to €140 for the RGB variant and €100 for the non-RGB style.
