News Thermal Grizzly's direct die liquid cooling product problem has been found and fixed — withdrawn cooling block reissued with RGB

[Admin]

A new video discusses changes made to the Thermal Grizzly Mycro Direct Die water block so that it can be marketed to enthusiasts once again. Necessary changes have now been implemented, alongside further design enhancements, to precipitate the launch of the new Mycro Direct Die RGB Pro, which we highlighted earlier in the week.

I watched the video and it's a fascinating example of transparency. They took the opportunity to make the product better while figuring out the issues. The fact that it came down to the difference between an IHS and direct die with the nickel plating is interesting. Here's hoping they're successful as the design and pricing are both pretty great. Would like to continue to see more water cooling products come out of TG.

You can be sure they will have more. Grizzly hired the lead designer from ek water blocks....who they were still not giving his paychecks on time. There were all kinds of threats from ek trying to stop it, lots of drama.

Demanding a competitor not hire your guy while also not paying him is a bold strategy, let's see if it pays off for em.

It's good for how transparent they are, but sadly the RPL is the least wanting direct die cooling at this moment of time as that void any of the degradation warranty..

You can pretty much guarantee there will be more. EK is going to announce bankruptcy any day now and their disappearance from the market will leave a huge gap in the water block market. And who better than a guy like Der8auer to fill that gap?

My question is how long the nickle plated cooling plate will last. I understand the idea of tradeoffs. When I build a system, except for peripherals, I tend to keep using the system for over a decade.

I know direct die cooling is an enthusiast feature, but just as I usually purchase (when Intel) the K version of chips and never overclock, I would be interested in this technology for system longevity.

So how long before the water block fails?
