AM5 direct die block drops temps 25C

you replace the IHS with something that does the same thing but mates with the block better than it would otherwise.

AM5 direct-die water block can lower CPU temps by more than 25C

der8auer's journey started by removing AMD's integrated heat spreader (IHS) and replacing it with a custom-designed high performance variant. In testing, this step alone delivered a huge...

I wonder if he'll bring out anything like this for Intel and if so, what kind of impact that would have on it's temperatures.
