Heatspreader

The Intel High Performance Heatspreader V1 is an upgrade heatspreader for Intel processors. The nickel-plated copper heatspreader has a 207 percent larger, diamond-milled precision surface. This increased surface area compared to the original heatspreader enables maximum heat dissipation for air and water coolers, while the precision milling ensures extremely low surface roughness for the best contact with the heat sink.

• Replaces ILM and heatspreader
• 207% larger surface area
• Made from nickel-plated copper
• Diamond milled precision surface
• Compatible with air and water coolers
• CPU compatibility list available online
• Only for delidded CPUs! Attention: Loss of warranty

The nickel-plated surface of the Intel High Performance Heatspreader V1 is compatible with traditional thermal pastes and gallium-based liquid metals. The nickel forms a barrier layer between the liquid metal and the copper cooler so that liquid metal does not diffuse into the copper and alloy formation is minimized. This means that multiple applications of liquid metal are generally not necessary.

Compatibility note

The Intel High Performance Heatspreader V1 is compatible with the following processors:

• Intel 12th Gen CPUs
• Intel 13th Gen CPUs
• Intel 14th Gen CPUs

Attention:

• Removing the heatspreader (“delidding”) of a processor is at your own risk!
• The manufacturer's warranty expires when the CPU is delidded!
• Damage caused by delidding the CPU is not covered by the manufacturer's warranty!
• Removing the Integrated Loading Mechanism (ILM) of the mainboard may invalidate the manufacturer's warranty of the mainboard manufacturer!
