Excited to see what’s coming from your collab with EK for the direct to die kit. Been shilling RockitCool myself for quite some time now. James is THE man. 👍
@@matusalem_hw I am led to believe that if its successful then it will be available for retail customers. I have just received the prototype so keep and eye on the channel for the next video which will be coming very soon.
Awesome! This is so foreign to me, never seed a CPU with the IHS (it's way smaller than I imagined) but always have wondered about the whole de-lid process. Looking for your next video now!👍
Thank you for this vid i came back after id gotten my hands on a 12900ks for a absolute steal so took the chance to delid and replace IHS with rockit cools copper ihs.
Good video. Looking forward to part 2. Is EKWB releasing a direct die kit for 12th Gen? My 12900K is delidded and I am waiting for the direct die block to come from Supercool Computers so I can ditch the copper IHS.
Would a Thermalright bracket not allow a standard LGA1700 block to make the necessary contact for direct die cooling? Seems like something that could be tried while waiting for EK.
I'll be interested to see what the results are of that direct die water block because I have one of the EK Velocity 2 water blocks for my 12900KF and it's good, like the overall package temp is decent but maybe it's just an issue with the contact but I've noticed the temps spike up here and there or it's like there are some hot spots and maybe direct die cooling would better.
Rockitcool usually have they own direct die kit, I use one on my current system with 10900k, it works just fine, and rockitcools direct die frame was superior to der8auers
Good stuff , I got the rockit cool 12th gen delis kit here for my sp 104 12900 ks . Still continplating doing it lol I have done 7fh ,8th,9th delis but killing a sp 104 12900ks that's 5.4 stable Does 4266 gear 1 ddr4 temps are fine as is . Maybe I'll do it Tomorrow lol
using the quick silver wrong ... just apply it .... put it all over the chiplet .. then wait for 20-30 mins ... then remove it ... then its 100% shiny first time arround.
of course, installing the 12900k in a B550 Tomahawk motherboard will mash the pins, leading to quantum electromagnation allowing for higher overclocks *video description
This is for those who want to push things as far as possible. Personally, I would love to do this because I enjoy increasing performance and the fact that it carries some risk makes it even more exciting!
@@KitGuruJames Quick silver was the 'old name' for mercury, it might form an amalgam with the metal used as the original TIM... but mercury is still nasty stuff. Some great videos on youtube of mercury vapour showing up under UV light is also an eye opener.

Intel is milking the 12900ks for the so-called enthusiast market. They should have at least released it delidded and with the proper kit so it's somewhat worth the price.
No tak ty jsi dobry prase, od tebe bych si to tak nechal udelat. Tim papirovim kapesnikem jsi to uplne dojebal. Nehlede ze jsi tam porad mel tu starou pastu,ten kremik musi byt jak zrcadlo,neco podobnyho jako s tim tekutym kovem a ne to zasmudleny co jsi tam mel ty 😂
Update - we have posted a new video on the status of this project! It's live here: th-cam.com/video/rtrioXuYEg0/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=KitGuruTech
Excited to see what’s coming from your collab with EK for the direct to die kit. Been shilling RockitCool myself for quite some time now. James is THE man. 👍
We are hoping to have the direct die prototype block from EK in the next couple off weeks.
@@KitGuruJames this prototype will remain a prototype or will it be possible to obtain it?
@@matusalem_hw I am led to believe that if its successful then it will be available for retail customers. I have just received the prototype so keep and eye on the channel for the next video which will be coming very soon.
@@KitGuruJames for sure thx
Very cool stuff! I'm looking forward to see how well the block works.
Awesome project video! Can’t wait for part 2.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm itching to get my hands on the new direct die block to see what it is capable of.
Oooooooooh, who needs sleep when there’s a KitGuru piece
:)

I miss the days of direct die CPU cooling. Yes, I did crack an AMD Athlon, but I felt like I had more control on thermals when OC'ing.
Yeah I remember the Athlon days like yesterday. My friend bought the 1GHz Athlon at launch but I could only afford a Duron 800 😄
Copper shims were all you needed to protect the CPU die. Took some of the pressure if you pressed the die too hard.
Thank you for this vid i came back after id gotten my hands on a 12900ks for a absolute steal so took the chance to delid and replace IHS with rockit cools copper ihs.
Very good video!Cant whait for the results 😁
Me too 😁
I didn't know that this is what I wanted, but I kinda can't wait 😃
Looking forward for part2 😊
I have direct die on Rocket Lake my grandsons gamer. I don't O/C but I run gear 3 which is in fact stock according to intel the results shocked me.

Well done
Hi KitGuru could you give the full list of the parts you have on that test bench please "direct die" thanks
Great video😀
Thanks!

As soon as we get the direct die block I'll be working on the video so it shouldn't been too long now. Hopefully a couple of weeks or so.
part 2 please!?
Rockitcool usually have they own direct die kit, I use one on my current system with 10900k, it works just fine, and rockitcools direct die frame was superior to der8auers
It'll be interesting to see if RockitCool release a direct die kit for 12th Gen and how it performs.
Good stuff , I got the rockit cool 12th gen delis kit here for my sp 104 12900 ks . Still continplating doing it lol I have done 7fh ,8th,9th delis but killing a sp 104 12900ks that's 5.4 stable Does 4266 gear 1 ddr4 temps are fine as is .

Interesting. I tried that and it was still dull. Maybe I was a little impatient.
I have the supercool computer 12th gen direct die waterblock. 69-70C @1.45V on a 12900k. 5.5 all core SP 102.
That sounds pretty impressive.
did u buy a specific binned chip or just luck out?
Where's part II????
Whats the status on part 2?
Seems like the first half of the video could be binned.
part 2 when??????????????????????
part 2?
It's coming soon.
Where's parrt 2?
its underway - hopefully wont be too long now
@@KitGuruTech is is still underway? :)
Hi! Part 2 soon?
I just received the prototype a couple of days ago so I'm working on the next video now. 👍
@@KitGuruJames i can't wait for part 2 and news about this DD ^^
How long can we use the liquid metal before it needs to be replaced?
I'm not sure exactly but it does degrade with age.
2-3 years normally
of course, installing the 12900k in a B550 Tomahawk motherboard will mash the pins, leading to quantum electromagnation allowing for higher overclocks
*video description
Well spotted, fixed now!
FFS what solder is that? Not suprised it het so high temps..... it delid itself while getting full load.
Its very soft Indium solder.
23:00 is what is that other cpu?
Core i3-12100F
Can we delid à i3 12100f or a i5 12400f ?
Yes I delidded a 12100F as a test before the 12900K using the same tool.
IMO not worth the trouble and risk for a few degrees better cooling.
This is for those who want to push things as far as possible. Personally, I would love to do this because I enjoy increasing performance and the fact that it carries some risk makes it even more exciting!
Okay where the hell is part 2
The 'quick silver' used to clean off the chip, are we talking MERCURY metal?
I'm not sure exactly what the chemical make up of the quick silver is.

@@KitGuruJames That's a relief, thanks for checking... Just an unfortunate choice of product name.
Where do you buy the tool in the uk? I'd like to delid my 12600k
RockitCool
Intel is milking the 12900ks for the so-called enthusiast market. They should have at least released it delidded and with the proper kit so it's somewhat worth the price.
So what problem the head gun is supposed to solve on a cpu? 😂👍
I just assumed direct die wouldn't be worth it for 12th gen, hopefully it was a wrong assumption!
This is one of the messiest delids I've seen. I suggest watching rockit cool's own solder delid to see how you really should do it.
No tak ty jsi dobry prase, od tebe bych si to tak nechal udelat. Tim papirovim kapesnikem jsi to uplne dojebal. Nehlede ze jsi tam porad mel tu starou pastu,ten kremik musi byt jak zrcadlo,neco podobnyho jako s tim tekutym kovem a ne to zasmudleny co jsi tam mel ty 😂
well nobody noticed that this dude knocked off the smd components while delid
Nope all SMD components are still in tact.
