High-performance cooling specialist Thermal Grizzly has launched the Intel Mycro Direct-Die Pro RGB V1. This is a direct-die (delidded) CPU cooling block for liquid-cooled setups based around Intel LGA1700 processors. Compared to its predecessor, this ‘Pro’ model, with the added sparkle of RGB lighting, delivers “up to 6 degrees Celsius lower temperatures.” It isn’t the RGB that makes the difference; of course, the key innovation is said to be a tweaked copper base plate design.
According to the Thermal Grizzly blog, the major innovation with the Intel Mycro Direct-Die Pro RGB V1 is a new copper base plate with 43% more micro fins. It indicates that these were accommodated thanks to an optimized slot width between the inlet and outlet cooling channels. There’s also a jet plate here, and the result is said to be “overall lower flow resistance” for more effective heat dissipation under load.
