This is good for AMD CPU owners. Delidding seems a lot tougher on new AMD chips than Intel due to how the AM5 heatspreader, electronic bits, and maybe a relatively delicate cache layer are positioned but the temp gains should be even better than with Intel chips.

More risk/ more reward.

It is good to have more options. And I like how this article didn't have a clickbait title like the last one with EK direct die: https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-com...-aio-liquid-cooler-designed-for-delidded-cpus

I tried direct die cooling with a 5775c back in the day but it wasn't anything fancy. I just put in some washers in the AIO mounting bolts to bring the plate closer to the die. It only got me a couple of degrees on that low powered chip. This seems much better and more needed with the higher heat densities and chonky IHS. And the dedicated block surely optimizes cooling at the die contact.

given how 7000 series are designed to boost up to liek 95c likely get some great payoff for it.

I will keep with my beloved 35w cpu for a long time. 95°c on cpu it's not for me anymore...
Don't want heat or noise max 20 dB. Today I like to hear the coil wine.

i still have that CPU i put 240MM water cooler nothing fancy under 100$, did not change voltage on cpu but i got to 3.8Ghz temperature is around 50C when gaming, when stress max was 58C and i couple it with 6600M(yeap M) i undervolted graphic i hear pleasant air going trought computer, o yeap i also added 3x120 front, still run every new game 1080p medium min 60fps, and i don`t think i`m going to change until ryzen 9000 or Intel new cpu come out

Don't think I would invest in EK products right now: https://www.techpowerup.com/294095/...orkforce-blames-lower-watercooling-sales?cp=3

Apparently, they have been failing to pay employees for months, according to other news I have seen today, here in the UK.
