Direct Die CPU Cooling Bracket - No More IHS

2018-01-20
everyone I'm joined by their Bauer who I last I left spoke with you at I think commies axe about deleting Intel CPUs we deal it a sudden 100x back then and now after the deal it died mate has been out and we've deleted several things you've got a new direct eye contact kit so what's let's let's go over the base for the product and the name things like that and I guess we'll talk they're all differences too so what what what's the let's start with a name oh yeah it's very special it's called a sky like a cleric die frame so I've been very creative there yeah so so marketing department in your budget or no such a direct frame the point is to remove the socket basically right yeah it replaces the whole ILM essentially so you have to remove that thing completely also the back plate of the motherboard then obviously you have to delete your CPU you leave off the heat spreader put the CPU back in put the back plate from the back to the mainboard screw in the direct iframe and that's basically it's pretty simple and then the point being that you can allow a direct contact between the die and Coldplay what kind of thermal benefit do you see from that it really depends on the chip so it depends if it's a hiker count local Township depends if it's very convex or not also depends on cooler thermal paste everything if you take all of that into account usually let's say two to ten degrees difference that's the highest I saw was in a 7 & 8 exe the one I actually have here I for some reason that the chip is very convex and if you have a cooler that's also a little bit convex it really well it works a lot better than using the normal I HS and that's like 8 to 10 degrees difference also what I've seen is that the course are getting a lot closer together so normally there sometimes you have a chord it's like 50 degree Celsius hotter than other ones and if we use direct either closer together so it reduces the delta quartic or yeah and at that point I guess for for these numbers you're giving our is this with thermal paste between the cold plate and the die yeah I mean the previa the the first testing I did was just deleting with liquid metal and normal conventional compound on top between the cooler and IHS and the second testing with liquid metal on top of this and between the cooler okay and as for risks any risks involved because typically if we've had people ask us to do direct eye tests and the answer generally has been no because without a frame you risk cracking the die or something so is there a torque spec for tightening the cooler or what are the risks yeah that was one of the biggest challenges I mean mainly having an even pressure on all the PCBs to push them down into the socket equally because if you would have too much pressure on the top PCB the bottom one is really thin it would kind of not really Bend but you just lose socket contact you lose memory channels PCI Express devices are gone and that was one of the challenges and then as you said before it's kind of an risk cracking the dive if you just mount it on top but so the tolerance is really tight on this on all the dimensions especially the the bottom ones that touch the PCB but the very thin part on top it's like zero point five to two zero point five eight millimeters and it's it's like not even 0.1 millimeter high difference to the core so no matter what you do if you have it mounted you can do whatever you want with your cooler you're not gonna crack to die and what about pricing and availability availability will be quite decent I think we have a lot of well several hundred pieces that say that it will be available firstly through caseking and OC UK later on over ms on us as well and pricing will be 59 or 69 US dollar not sure about that yet but roughly that have a release date next week or whenever this video is online so for more information links in the description below we will have one of these two tests so we can do some direct eye cooling test versus our original deal id's and thank you as always for joining me thank you mint we'll see you all next time
