Thermal Grizzly introduces the AMD Mycro Direct-Die Pro RGB V1 waterblock for AMD AM5 processors.
After launching the Intel Mycro Direct-Die Pro RGB V1 Waterblock, Thermal Grizzly introduces the AMD Mycro Direct-Die Pro RGB V1 for AMD AM5 processors.
The AMD Mycro Direct-Die Pro RGB V1, with its hybrid micro-fin structure, represents the evolution of the Mycro Direct-Die series for the AMD AM5 platform. Enhancements in the Pro version allow for better heat transfer from the CPU under load, resulting in up to 9°C lower temperatures compared to the standard version of the Direct-Die cooler. Along with technical upgrades, the design has been reworked as well.
The most significant changes include the copper base plate, which now features a hybrid structure with two different types of micro-fins. Over the I/O die, where less heat is generated, 14 shallow grooves with wide fin spacing are used. In the high heat zone, there are 29 deeper grooves with narrow fin spacing, producing tall and slim micro-fins. The grooves are 0.2 mm wide. Additionally, the Pro version is thinner, and the cooler’s design is optimized for flow, featuring a jet plate to reduce flow resistance. The base plate’s contact surfaces are tailored to the layout of the AMD Ryzen 9000 series but are also compatible with older AM5 processors.
The aluminium top of the AMD Mycro Direct-Die Pro RGB V1 visually resembles the Intel Mycro Direct-Die Pro RGB V1. Its anodized aluminium lid rests on a block of tempered acrylic glass. RGB LEDs illuminate the acrylic glass from within, casting light between the nickel-plated base plate and the black anodized lid, as well as around the G1/4-inch threads, giving the cooler an elegant visual appeal.
Pricing
The AMD Mycro Direct-Die Pro RGB V1 waterblock is now available on the Thermal Grizzly webstore for $141.59.
