Hello everyone,
as mentioned in the title, I am currently looking for a delidding tool for an amd 5950x. All i can find are for intel cpus. Are they unter compatible?

Ryzen CPUs have their IHS's soldered on. Delidding them not only carries an extremely high risk of damaging the part, but you're likely going to make cooling worse.

well its soldered, youd have to heat it first...but is that needed? this isnt intel where you actually gain some better temperatures

Ryzen CPU spreaders are soldered on. You can't delid them with a simple delidding tool without destroying the die's.

I believe der8auer used to delid them, but you have to ship to Germany to get it done. Not sure anymore.
