brush it clean, like you do with any waterblock
To be clear i meant the coldplate specifically, this part:

If that was soldered direct to the die with tight tolerances, you'd be able to deal with heat density on high wattage parts.
I can totally see this happening if these power consumption trends continue.


Partner with a waterblock company like EK with an official top, and let all the other companies make their own ones. You'd have AIO's with a fill port before you could sneeze.
Even more so, it could be compatible with both AMD and intel.

They'd both have to agree to a universal size and shape, which they cant when their CPU dies are different sizes and shapes

They can agree on the top mounting sizes and shapes, so one could slap the one and the same top for both brands.

Intel cant even agree with themselves on mounting for coolers every generation, so i do find that unlikely
Sure its theoretically possible, but it would never happen


Count: yeah thats what I meant. I feel like IHS have to change somehow with the way wattages are going up while size is going down

Something that could be done is to take a CPU blower cooler like this turning into a water block with direct die contact and just aim the blower at the MB VRM's. In fact the fan itself on it could be controlled by MB temp's in the bios while the block/rad controls CPU temps so really a win win scenario! Quiet AF, but if the VRM's want a gentle breeze under duress. They might even slim down the fan itself and utilize two that you can rotate and position so you can cover both VRM area's.

Ugh, such a waste of, well, everything!

VRM cooling is handed nicely with passive rads on them and a good airflow around. Even if we assume this thing can push enough air around it will sound like an F-16 on a combat takeoff.

A 475 RPM blower fan won't sound like a F-16 get real. Just the radiator fans on many water cooling setups probably spin louder FFS with higher air turbulence the same time. Way to much irrational hate towards blow fans. The industry is to blame for that for higher blower fan RPM's peak so high and slapping them on hardware w/o any concern over acoustics. In some instances though it's needed a single fan cooling a 300w GPU full load sustained for example becomes pretty daunting.

we have AIO's with that already - the Arctic Liquid Freezer II

I wouldn't even know it had a fan from a quick glance. That looks like it would be a good candidate for direct mount.

It's a genuinely fantastic AIO, that VRM fan makes a huge difference in a lot of reviews
