That is the process of removing the IHS from the processor to allow direct cooling of the die or replacement of the default thermal paste. Ncore V1 is a new water block that is designed to work on LGA 1151 processors without the IHS.
Ncore V1 is the first water block for LGA 1151 processors without the IHS
Ncore V1 is a smaller block of water than the LGA 1151 retention bracket, allowing the pressure on the processors bare die not to be excessive. Another exciting feature of the block includes an adjustable flow rate and the ability to be adapted for processors with the IHS. The use of a bare processor, without the IHS, allows the cooling fluid to be up to 20 times closer to the day, so the heat transfer is higher.
The advanced design of this block makes its performance with processors that maintain the IHS also be superior to that offered by other blocks, so it is also a good option in these cases. Currently only compatible with LGA 1151, its design is designed for tool-free installation in as little as 12 seconds.
