Thermal Grizzly Mycro Direct-Die CPU Water Block - Sockel AM5

It’s not even like overlocking yields much performance these days compared to times gone by, sure you can lower temps and increase the clocks a couple of hundred mhz but realistically how much actual performance will that translate into outside of benchmarking.

I didn't do it to overclock at all, well not really, it's allowed my CPU to boost to higher frequencies, but do it cooler, and also allowed me to push my ram to higher frequencies, which I guess was held back by the memory controller, I just did it really for as SirConfused said, a bit of fun and I was bored at the time.

Ive got to take it all apart again tonight as I brought a kryosheet which arrived yesterday, so will fit that tonight, again, just because I can, no real reason behind it, if it's no good I'll take it apart again and swap it for liquid metal again.

Watercooling doesn't really have as much of a point anymore, I still do it because I enjoy it, satisfies my need to mess about with something that doesn't really need messing with. And I'm used to how quiet it is now.

Well, here it is, Kryosheet, just doing a couple of hours leak test and then see what temps are like, I covered the SMDs with black nail polish this time just in case.

EDIT: Not impressed, will be going back to LM, idle temps are good, but fuly loaded all cores are up to 75oC along with the package temp, which is the max ive got it set to in the bios, previously cores were in the 60s and package at 75.
