Clean definitely looks better. One thing about the clean is also that if people wanted to etch their own design into it afterwards, it would be a lot easier and work better.

the sticking force between two flat pieces of metal isnt actually cold welding. you need a vacuum in order to cold-weld metal because otherwise there is an oxide layer on the surface of the metal that prevents welding.

The correct term is "wringing" and the mechanism of why it works isnt actually very well understood, but is thought to be a combination of intermolecular attraction (ie van der walls force) and the surface tension of water vapor in the air that gets trapped between the two surfaces.

I like the idea of the graphine sheet, most of us into water cooling are not over the top but want something cool, stable and play a little with over clocking.

I love this channel. Every time these guys come up with something new to impress us. That WB looks clean AF

[gwenryanmillett]

Seeing an independent YouTuber make such high quality hardware is always impressive

Worked for a german automotive parts supplier for a long time. We would mill and single point burnish ballpins for control arms on cars. We controlled for roughness using ra, rz, rdq, and rmax. Our tighest tolerance was 0.005 to 0.03 µm.
We had a fancy light based measuring machine that would calculate the roughness based on the reflection angle of a laser. We also had a pretty standard probe dragging machine that would profile the part and measure the height of the tooling lines. Definitely interesting to see surface roughness brought up outside of that manufacturing environment.

That CPU block you've made looks really nice, I genuinely would buy that for my next build based on aesthetics alone.

[RobKen]

Loving the engineering you're putting into this, with the idea that AM5 will be around for a good while this is actually something that would likely get a fair few years of use from and possibly even over different motherboards and CPUs. Awesome work

[sunmethods]

i had literally added the am5 delidding tool and direct die frame to my pcpartpicker list YESTERDAY, so this was amazing timing - i will absolutely be using this RGB block when it becomes available. seeing this part so easily removable at 13:15 made me immediately do a "hell yeah" for spraypainting purposes

[absolutesadlad]

The Diamond Cut Results are incredibly impressive.
absolutely will be looking into your Direct Die solution for AM5 when it's available.

Also very happy for you Roman. it's been awesome to see your catalog of products grow & your engineering results over the years.
if anybody could innovate in the Water Cooling market, it's certainly you. your passion for the hobby has always been inspiring.

[sachak]

You guys are absolute legends! That water block not only looks incredible it performs phenomenally!

[castlers]

I'm so glad for this, I had a quantum velocity 1 and I couldn't get my direct die setup to work at all, I got the quantum Velocity 2 and I use that full time now, but the temperature is not what I'd want. If you come to market with this and I'm actually able to get impressive performance with liquid metal then I'll actually be able to run this full time with amazing temperatures.

[johni-dbxv]

This almost makes me want to upgrade to AM5 just to use your gear 😅. Very impressive all the thought and engineering you put into these solutions for fellow enthusiasts. And delivering quality at a reasonable price is outstanding.

[tomtheaged]

This is exactly what i have been waiting for! I wanted to delid and direct die cool, but didnt want to hassle with the mounting. This fixes all of that! Thank you much for working on this and bringing it to market! You are my favorite product developer ever, Thank you again!

[barkindustry]

Wow!!! I don't think many people can actually appreciate the amount of design and CNC goes into something like this. Love it!

[-gg]

The rgb looks great!!! What a clean design!!!!

[jaystheone]

Thermal Grizzly AM5 High Performance Heatspreader, need this now!

[JosiahBradley]

Really nice work. Love seeing the prototypes and thought process for manufacturing.

[fightocondria]

I love seeing the technical details behind some of this stuff. Thanks so much for what you do.

[cristiant]

good stuff, keep pushing the envelope to keep the big boys on their toes DB
