Thermal Grizzly Heatspreader (AM5 Heatspreader)

I installed this after delidding my 7950x because the stock IHS was somewhat poor for heat transfer. With a heavy cooler, I wasn't too comfortable having my cooler directly on my CPU dies for fear that I might break them with sudden movements. This was s great solution to that whole also maintaining lower temps than stock. I use liquid metal between the dies and this heat spreader, then used regular thermal paste between the heat spreader and my cooler.My temps have been about 15C cooler than stock, and only slightly warmer than direct die cooling, but the tradeoff was 100% worth it. Because the heat spreader is mounted to the motherboard and just makes contact with the dies, I don't have to worry about damaging the dies from my cooler since the majority of the force will dissipate to the board and not to the dies.But anyone looking at this item already knows what to expect from it so my review isn't trying to convince anyone. Just that I'm very glad I installed this :)

I was able to come down with the temperatures by about 10C degrees by changing standard heatsink to this one and using conductonaut.Totally worth it.
