Noctua Introduces NM-DD1 Direct Die Kit for Delidded AMD AM5 Processors

[trsttte]

It's easy for AMD to make changes, just don't fill the automated machine with glue/solder & IHS. Better still they could just turn that part of the assembly process off.. Now AMD is not only saving on material but also electricity, in turn helps saves the planet.

You don't really know anything about manufacturing and managing inventories do you?

Of course It's just a matter of time before the copycats flood AliExpress with cheap knockoffs that undercut Noctua but they may make a few bucks before then.

Why would anyone do a knock off mounting kit for a noctua cooler, let alone when noctua is already basically giving them away?

Noooo, not a Noctua mounting kit.
Thermalright, Bequiet!, id-cooling, Corsair, DeepCool, etc etc etc... Once the kit proves to be effective/ popular or both. Whether the above pursue it or not, they will be out there undercutting Noctuas OG idea.

A big name like Noctua doing something like this gives more credibility and audience to the idea so it might become more popular and frequent but I doubt there will be that many copycats, after all this still requires removing the ihs (and killing your warranty) which most people will never be bothered to do

Possibly.
Paranoid temp chasers are becoming more and more prevalent as people find that their shiny new 7 series still hits 90c while running cb23 lol. As these new Noctuas are reviewed and word spreads that they are shown to (realistically) give up to 10-20c temp improvements. I can see these, temp chasers buying them in droves...IF they can convince people that they are easy to use and maintain.

Friends they are basically free:

Given that it’s $5 and they offer the STL files for free I don’t think that’s much of a concern as much as an expectation

If you mean the offset mount then der8auer, thermal grizzly, and Arctic all offer these mounts already. Sure you can find them on aliexpress, too, but this product is specifically for direct die in conjunction with such a mount.

What kind of marketing genius thought this was a good idea risking killing your cpu, loosing you warranty and paying a hefty price to see no everyday usage performance increase over a regular heatsink setup?

The fact that this is needed proves how shit the IHS design of AMD is.

Wanted, not needed.
