Don’t try this at home.
Der8aur, one of the world’s top overclockers has recently decided to do one thing no one else has; to delid one of AMDs newly released top end CPUs.
He found that the IHS is soldered directly to the die of the CPU, this is something that Intel has all but stopped doing now, but it does produce a much better thermal bond between the core and the IHS. This method of IHS/die connectivity is very good to see and will provide better temperatures compared to a thermal paste connection. What will be interesting to see though is if this more expensive method of thermal connection will be used on the Ryzen 5 and 3 CPU’s.
Obviously, this will make delidding of Ryzen 7 CPUs almost impossible for consumers and you will most certainly end up killing your CPU.
