Direct die cooling step-by-step

Sourcing the required parts:

1. Things to consider before building a passive system:

• Delidding tool, e.g. the one from der8auer

• Direct die frame for protecting the CPU, e.g. the one designed by der8auer

• Liquid metal thermal compound

• Cleaning equipment: Razor blade, isopropyl alcohol, extra liquid metal compound

• Spacers for lowering the cooler (included with NM-DD1 or 3D printed from Printables.com)

• Screws for reinstalling the fastening brackets with spacers (included with NM-DD1 or purchased separately, 4x M3x12 for NM-DDS1 or 1x M4x10 for NM-DDS2)

2. Delidding the CPU: Remove the CPU’s integrated heat spreader following the manual that came with the delidding tool.
