1. Thermal Grizzly Ryzen 7000 Delid Die Mate
The Thermal Grizzly Ryzen 7000 Delid-Die-Mate is a specialized tool designed for removing the heat spreader from AMD Ryzen 7000 processors. This delidding tool allows for the preparation of the CPU for improved cooling through the Direct Die method. By removing the heat spreader, direct contact between the CPU cooler and the CPU dies is established, leading to optimized heat transfer. The tool was designed by Roman "der8auer" Hartung, a recognized expert in PC cooling, and offers precise and safe handling. Made from high-quality, anodized aluminum in black and red, it combines functionality with an appealing design. This tool is particularly suitable for tech enthusiasts and overclockers looking to maximize the performance of their Ryzen 7000 CPUs.
- Designed for delidding AMD Ryzen 7000 CPUs
- Enables Direct Die cooling for improved heat dissipation
- Made from durable, anodized aluminum.
2. Thermal Grizzly Delid-Die-Mate For Intel 13th Gen
The Delid-Die-Mate Intel 13th Gen by Thermal Grizzly is a tool designed for removing the heat spreader (delidding) on Intel processors from the Alder Lake and Raptor Lake series. Using the so-called Direct Die method, the CPU cooler is mounted directly onto the processor chip. By eliminating the heat spreader from the cooling circuit, a significantly improved heat transfer from the dies to the CPU cooler is achieved.
Why delidding and the Direct Die method for Intel processors? Delidding, or removing the heat spreader, is typically used for non-soldered processors to replace the thermal interface material (TIM) between the CPU die and the heat spreader with high-quality thermal paste or liquid metal before remounting the heat spreader. However, since the Intel Core processors of the 13th generation are soldered, this option is not available, as removing the indium solder would create too large a gap between the IHS and the CPU dies.
Therefore, the Intel Core CPUs of the 13th Gen are primarily delidded for the potential mounting of the CPU cooler directly onto the CPU dies. By omitting the heat spreader and mounting the CPU cooler directly on the dies, temperatures can typically be reduced by 10-15 °C when using liquid metal like Conductonaut as TIM. A corresponding test with an Intel Core i9-13900K was conducted by content creator and tech YouTuber Roman "der8auer" Hartung, a professional overclocker and engineer.
Warning: Removing the heat spreader (delidding) of a processor is done at your own risk! Delidding the CPU voids the manufacturer's warranty! Damages incurred during the delidding of the CPU are not covered by the manufacturer's warranty!

3. Thermal Grizzly Ryzen 7000 Lapping Tool
The AM5 Lapping Tool has been designed for grinding the heat spreaders of AMD's AM5 processor series. The tolerances of the AM5 Lapping Tool allow for a stepwise grinding of the heat spreader by 0.4 mm, up to a total height of 1.6 mm. When using the standard AMD mounting frame, a maximum grinding of 1.0 mm is intended until the intermediate steps are reached. An additional 0.6 mm is only possible if the CPU is mounted with a compatible AM5 Contact Frame, for example. The steps of the AM5 Lapping Tool are diamond-milled to achieve high transparency. This allows users to see which steps have already been reached and which have not during the grinding process.
Lower temperatures thanks to grinding the heat spreader: The American content creator and tech YouTuber JayzTwoCents was able to achieve temperatures up to 5 degrees Celsius lower with minimal higher boost clocks across all cores with a Ryzen 9 7950X using a 360 mm AIO. In combination with Kryonaut Extreme thermal paste, even 10 degrees Celsius lower temperatures were achieved. Even with a moderate overclocking of all cores of the Ryzen 9 7950X to 5.4 GHz, the test system remained 4 degrees Celsius below the temperature limit of 95 °C.
These temperature improvements from grinding the heat spreader are partly due to the heat spreaders of the AM5 platform. The heat spreaders introduced with Ryzen 7000 are thicker than the AM4 heat spreaders to ensure that AM4-compatible CPU coolers remain compatible with the AM5 platform. Additionally, the surface area of the Ryzen 7000 heat spreaders is significantly smaller at approximately 910 mm² compared to AM4's 1,300 mm².
Note on compatibility with AM5 motherboards: It should be noted that grinding the CPU will void the warranty.

4. Thermal Grizzly Lapping Tool for 13th Generation Intel CPU
The lapping tool for Intel's 13th generation processors allows for the safe grinding of the heat spreader. The CPU can be easily mounted on the lapping tool using the included screws. The tolerances of the lapping tool permit grinding of the heat spreader by 0.2 millimeters. The 13th generation lapping tool is compatible with Intel Core CPUs from the 12th and 14th generations. Sandpaper in grits of 400, 1,200, and 2,500 is included.
5. Thermal Grizzly TG Intel 1851 Delid-Die-Mate V1
The Thermal Grizzly Delid-Die-Mate Intel LGA 1851 in detail
The Delid-Die-Mate Intel LGA 1851 from Thermal Grizzly is a tool for removing the heat spreader (delidding) on Intel processors from the Intel Core Ultra 200 series. In the so-called "Direct Die" method, the CPU cooler is mounted directly on the processor chip. By eliminating the heat spreader from the cooling circuit, a significantly optimized heat transfer from the dies to the CPU cooler is possible.
