Practical tool from der 8auer for the easy removal (delidding) of the Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS) compatible with Intel Ivy Bridge Haswell Devil's Canyon Broadwell Skylake Kaby Lake & Coffee Lake CPUs Version 2 is made from anodised black aluminium overclock comfortably & safely like a professional! Anyone who was building their gaming PC in the early 2000s can probably still recall the numerous instances of broken CPUs as occurred with the AMD Athlon XP whose silicon core broke at the corners when mounting a CPU cooler In order to avoid the high RMA rate of otherwise perfectly functioning processors especially when placed in the hands of less experienced users proceeding generations of processors
- beginning with the AMD Athlon 64 & Intel Pentium III
- simplified the process of mounting the CPU cooler by installing a metal heat spreader on the CPU package thereby successfully protecting the CPU die from damage This mostly nickel-plated copper Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS) guides the heat produced by the chip into the CPU cooler & distributes the thermal energy over a larger surface area more effectively than raw silicon alone In order to effectively integrate both components a Thermal Interface Material (TIM) is located between the heat spreader & the silicon chip which itself has not consisted of solder since 2012 Instead of solder a standard thermal paste is used & this has also gone on to take the place of solder in all proceeding series of CPU However due to its relatively low thermal conductivity it has drastically reduced the potential for extreme overclocking The proportions of the CPU cooler in this instance are almost irrelevant since the heat build-up occurs inside of the processor package To enable effective cooling of this kind of CPU even while functioning under extreme overclocks daring enthusiasts & extreme overclockers separate the heat spreader with a sharp razor blade or similar tools This demands the greatest of care & a supreme confidence in your ability to avoid damaging vital components This radical method holds a not inconsiderable degree of risk for even professional overclockers with a superabundance of experience to call upon THE DER8AUER DELID DIE MATE 2
- AN OVERVIEWPractical tool for removing the heat spreader of a CPUQuick easy & most importantly
- no damage Manufactured from premium anodised black aluminium Laser engraved with the stylish der 8auer logo in white High compatibility with Intel processors Safe & convenient professional-level overclocking!

The Skylake-X Direct Die Frame from overclocking champion der 8auer is a masterpiece of German engineering The CPU mounting frame completely replaces Intel's ILM (Integrated Loading Mechanism) as well as the CPU cooler mounting holes This inconspicuous component unlocks a world of possibilities when it comes to CPU performance enhancement leading to record breaking overclocks when paired with either standard or liquid cooling THE DER8AUER SKYLAKE-X DIRECT DIE FRAMEAllows the CPU to be operated & cooled without a heatspreader Secure mounting for maximum cooling performance Compatible with current Socket 2066 motherboards Manufactured in high-grade black anodized aluminium TAKING OVERCLOCKING TO THE LIMITThe nickel-plated copper heat spreader in the factory default setup removes the heat produced by the CPU & transfers it into the CPU cooler which dissipates the thermal energy across a larger surface area than that available to the silicon alone However the role of forming a tight seal between said components falls to a Thermal Interface Material (TIM) located between the heat spreader & the silicon chip This standard thermal paste supplied with Intel processors offers relatively low levels of thermal conductivity as a result of this it frequently struggles to maintain reasonable temperatures when faced with heavy overclocking In this scenario the effectiveness of the CPU cooler is irrelevant due to the fact that heat build-up is taking place within the interior of the processor package itself For a CPU to receive adequate cooling even when being pushed to its limits via overclocking enthusiasts swiftly remove the heat spreader with the help of the der 8auer Delid Die Mate X replacing the thermal paste with liquid metal & subsequently remounting the heat spreader This results in a typical 10-20&176;C reduction in the temperatures of Intel Skylake-X processors The Skylake-X Direct Die Frame removes the need for two further layers consisting of the heat spreader & thermal paste allowing temperatures to fall by a further 2-8&176;C This results in a marked improvement in overclocking performance The outer edge of the der 8auer Skylake-X Direct Die Frame is located a mere 01 mm below the silicon chip itself effectively protecting against damage Furthermore the black anodized coating isolates the aluminium of the Direct Die Frame as it is no longer electrically conductive As a result the SK-X DDF can be seated safely & securely against the contact area of the CPU Installation of the SK-X DDF requires that the Intel socket retention module first be removed this then allows the included back plate to be attached to the reverse of the motherboard with adhesive pads the CPU inserted & the frame secured by means of four screws The SK-X DDF is manufactured according to extremely tight tolerances to ensure an equal distribution of downward force This helps to maintain optimum contact between the motherboard & CPU while ensuring all devices such as PCIe cards or RAM modules are recognized correctly Important Warning! Removal of the CPU's heatspreader is performed at your own risk & results in the invalidation of the manufacturer's guarantee & warranty! Note on Compatibility The removal of the integrated heat spreader results in a small reduction in the mounting height of the CPU cooler Consequently those coolers with fixed mounting heights are not able to be mounted For this reason please confirm prior to installation whether the cooler you plan to use is capable of being set to a lower mounting height Compatibility with watercoolers from EKWB Aquacomputer as well as Ai O watercoolers from Corsair & NZXT are guaranteed to fit Technical Details Type CPU mounting frame Material Anodized aluminium Colour Black Compatible with all Socket 2066 motherboards Compatible with all Intel Skylake-X processors
