The Intel Mycro Direct-Die V1 is a water cooler for Intel processors that is placed directly on the CPU die of a delidded CPU. Made of nickel-plated copper, the direct-die water cooler offers outstanding thermal conductivity. This is further enhanced by the optimized structure of the microfins on the top. In addition, compared to normal water cooling, direct-die cooling eliminates a layer of heat transfer medium and the heat spreader of the CPU. This significantly improves the heat transfer from the CPU to the water cooling circuit. The cover of the Intel Mycro Direct Die V1 is made of CNC-milled polyoxymethylene (POM) and is equipped with one input and one output in the form of G1/4-inch threads.

• Water cooler for Direct-Die mounting
• Microfin cooler made of nickel-plated copper
• Replaces ILM and heatspreader
• Cover made from CNC-milled POM
• G1/4-inch connections
• Only for delidded CPUs!

Note on the use of KryoSheet

The Intel Mycro Direct-Die V1 has been extensively tested internally in various application scenarios. During development, great emphasis was placed on stable operation of the processor and RAM. In our test series, KryoSheet in combination with the Intel Mycro Direct Die V1 was unable to achieve any significant improvements in terms of temperature and was problematic in terms of contact pressure. For this reason, we cannot recommend thermal pads because their additional thickness has a strong influence on the contact pressure and can therefore impair the function.

Compatibility note

The Intel Mycro Direct-Die V1 is compatible with the following processors:

• Intel 12th Gen CPUs
• Intel 13th Gen CPUs
• Intel 14th Gen CPUs

Attention: Removing the heatspreader (“delidding”) of a processor is at your own risk! The manufacturer's warranty expires when the CPU is delidded! Damage caused by delidding the CPU is not covered by the manufacturer's warranty!

Removing the Integrated Loading Mechanism (ILM) of the mainboard may invalidate the manufacturer's warranty of the mainboard manufacturer!
