EK just released a direct die cooler for LGA 1700 CPUs. Will we finally be able to tame the i9-13900K, and will it survive the day at all?

Alex and Linus are such a good combination, one of them suggests a crazy idea and the other one happily accepts it.
-
12:48 Linus genuinely smiling at the idea of using the chiller is the best
-
Youtube sees me watch a video about how EK is in financial crisis, and decides to show me this lol
-
Mad props for them giving Linus unit 69, and Jay unit number 2 (despite this definitely being worth more than 2 cents). That's some fine attention to detail!
-
That flashback before Linus agreed to use the chiller was the perfect edit.
-
Linus has gotten me over the fear of breaking computer components. Just look at how they survive Linus. It should become a marketing sticker or something EDIT: I'm not saying to mishandle parts, but at least I don't feel like I need to use Muslin gloves
-
That instant drop in temperature with that chiller is always fun to see.
-
That was fun seeing all the unlisted videos and then watching the great purge happen in real time. Glad y'all got it back.
-
My anxiety level had reached all time high watching Linus delidded the CPU with heatspreader and hammer, and the frantic during the temp spike was just cherry on top
-
Imagine making a CPU that people use to benchmark their cooling solutions.
-
Watching this hack happen in real time is crazy
-
I love your pun on Direct-Die Waterblock As a note, you may want to switch your water blocks to be in parallel with that much water velocity and pressure. Possibly add a pressure relief bypass.
-
I love any LTT video that contains Alex explaining sketchy stuff while Linus makes a horrified face looking off camera.
-
12:40 the editor of this video deserves a raise, that moment was perfect
-
I kind of wish manufacturers would try and make this kind of cooling safer. Seeing those temps on normal water really was oddly inspiring.
-
Hi, fellow viewers of LinusTechTipsTemp
-
If you were wondering why Linus was hesitant to use liquid metal on it, it's because they had planned for the chiller and liquid metal aint so liquidy when the temperature drops... Hence DerBauer made Kryonaut with thermal grizzly, which is formulated for sub-zero cooling, because it can operate at extremely low temperatures (-250C), which Conductonaut has a minimum operating temperature of 10C, which that chiller can blast past.
-
The delidding part of this video was so suspenseful I didn't realize I was slowly tilting my bowl of soup that I was holding and spilled it all over myself.
-
Glad you have your channel back! 😊
-
I love that we’re coming full circle and starting to see direct die coolers on CPUs again.
