Noctua publicizes a little bit novelty with its NM-DD1. Underneath this slightly unusual reference hides spacers for mounting on AMD’s AM5 socket . More particularly, they permit Direct Die mounting of Austrian heatsinks!
NM-DD1: Direct Die mounting of your Noctua heatsink on socket AM5!
Developed in collaboration with skilled overclocker Der8auer, this new system allows you to mount a Noctua heatsink on a Ryzen 7000 delid. As a reminder, delidding is an operation that includes eradicating the steel capsule from the highest of the processor. In the previous, this system was primarily used to vary the inner thermal paste to be able to achieve in temperature.
However, you too can delid your processor to be able to match a direct-die heatsink, i.e. a heatsink positioned straight on the processor chips, with out an intermediate IHS. The intention is clearly to enhance the temperatures obtained on the CPU.
Noctua’s spacers are merely current to optimize the stress utilized to the processor. As the IHS is faraway from the CPU, its dimensions additionally change, and the heatsink can merely not come into contact with the processor. To obtain this, spacers are used as intermediate supplies between the ventirad mounting tabs and the highest of the bottom. In this manner, the bottom comes into contact with the CPU at an optimized stress: neither too excessive nor too low.
What about features? But watch out!
If you take away the imposing IHS from a Ryzen 7000, the temperature features are huge. The Austrian model claims temperatures lowered by 10°C to fifteen°C. You may even go as little as -20°C by coupling these spacers to an offset mounting equipment.
Now, if this sounds tempting, keep in mind that uncapping your CPU includes dangers. During the operation, the processor might be severely broken, rendering it unusable. If, regardless of every little thing, you’re tempted by the expertise, you need to know that the equipment is simply bought on the Noctua web site, at a value of €4.90.
Otherwise, you may print out the entire equipment for your self. Alternatively, you may print the entire thing your self utilizing the shared STL information. Finally, in the event you go for in-house printing, you’ll want 4 M3x12 screws for the NM-DDS1 and one M4x10 screw for the NM-DDS2. Yes, by growing the thickness beneath the mounting tabs, the unique screws can be too brief!
Here’s the Noctua product sheet!
