Overclocking expert Roman "der8auer" Hartung has unveiled the new Ryzen 7000 direct die water block, the AM5 Mycro Direct Die cooler. The new direct die water block promises significantly lower temperatures compared to all-in-one (AiO) liquid coolers.

Pictures are showing two 15 seconds stress times separated by a 15 seconds break. I'm sure this direct die block can help but clearly these graphs aren't giving the real picture of the thing. Let it run for minutes at least, not seconds.

Pretty nice

I love his vids. Wonder if AMD and/or Intel watch them to understand problems they create, be that too thick IHS or CPU bending retention mechanisms, etc.
 
I wonder how bad the IHS removal is for the 7000 series? I'd like to move to AM5 this year and this looks great so long as it isn't high-risk to the CPU.
 
A no point we see a performance graph (i.e. was there a problem to start with that was in any way fixed ?) to say if loosing all that would be lost from not using a thick IHS would be worth it.

And he seems to do high precision stuff that cannot be cheap.

Many reviews out there. They put out reasonable stuff, just that there are more requirements usually. So, definitely not a "mom and pop" style modification. If you're already comfortable with very custom cooling, probably no problem though.

Interestingly, we're moving in two opposite directions. Ease vs. very custom. In the past (15+ years), arguably everything was "in between", which made at least "very custom", not a horrible reach for most.
 
On computex video he already stated that select reviewers will get first dibs on these, but as soon as they come out I'll get one.
I used an Icegiant on my 7950x, PBO -20 curve, thermal throttles 95c, fastest core all core load 5.3ghz.
I "upgraded" to Arctic 280mm AIO, PBO -22, thermal throttles 95c, fastest core all core load 5.25ghz. It is much quieter than the icegiant.
It didn't matter PBO -20 or -22, same results. I just found -22 to be stable on latest bios. -24 is a no boot.
Anyways since his video:

I have purchased everything needed to build a custom loop. Just waiting on the block.
Waiting sucks, kinda thought it was coming out sooner as the video said weeks, not months.
I also plan to try the floss/iron (heat) method of removing the IHS & regular thermal compound.
I do have liquid metal (to help remove the solder) but that stuff dries out.

Plenty of videos have been made in the past showing "monumental gains" in temperature management by removing the IHS, nothing with this product though.

I want to say he said 50 Euro, which is actually bonkers cheap if correct, Ekwd cpu blocks are way more expensive, hell even mass produced/rebranded ones from Corsair are more... but I may be misremembering so who knows
 
For the TLDW people:
Estimated: 100 Euro non-rgb. 130-140 Euro rgb. 40-50 Euro for the heat spreader.
