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 (heading, delidding) on Intel processors of the Intel Core Ultra 200 series. With the so-called direct die, the CPU cooler is mounted directly on the processor chip. By omitting the heat spreader in the cooling circuit, a significantly optimized heat transfer from the dies to the CPU cooler is possible.

Why delidding & direct die method for Intel processors?
With delidding, or heading, the heat spreader of the processor is removed. For unsoldered processors, deliddening is usually used to replace the thermal interface (TIM) between the CPU die and heat spreader with high-quality thermal paste or liquid metal before the heat spreader is reassembled. However, since the Intel Core 200 series processors are soldered, this is not an option, as removing the indium solder would create too large a gap between the IHS and the CPU die.

This is why the Intel Core 200 series CPUs are primarily delidded for the possibility of mounting the CPU cooler directly on the CPU die. Experience has shown that by omitting the heat spreader and mounting the CPU cooler directly on the die, temperatures can be reduced by 10-15 degreesC if liquid metal such as Conductonaut is used as the TIM.

Attention: Removing the heat spreader (deliding) of a processor is at your own risk! Decapitating the CPU will void the manufacturers warranty! Damage caused by decapitating the CPU is not covered by the manufacturers warranty!
