I remember watching a video (8erBauer I believe) talking to a CPU engineer. The thickness of the IHS is mostly governed by the physics of heat dissipation. If the IHS is too thin, then the heat transfer can actually become less efficient due to how heat radiates from the point of generation. It doesn’t just magically flow perfectly perpendicular from the point of generation. So, cutting into the IHS like this guy did, it isn’t all that surprising that hot spots would occur.

The custom water cooling does look good tho, but he should've delidded it instead...

CNC machines keeping you big as hell
@Makerr8
I can only imagine Intel or AMD selling a water block CPU as an option for those who want to do custom water loops. It would probably be waaaay to expensive though.
@redwiltshire1816
And here’s me just about comprehending how it all fits together 😂
@kh8655
Looks like the low surface area and restrictive flow compared to regular water blocks is keeping him big as hell
@TheZoenGaming
Imagine if CPU manufacturers made a version of their chip with an integrated water block. They could ensure that you could cool the hotspots without voiding your warranty by delidding it and you wouldn't need to buy a separate water block for your loop.
@jodiunger9425
Don’t lend that waterblock to Linus, you’ll find it for auction soon after.
@TwinShards
Ngl the CNC work is beautiful but so inefficient. Had he designed the flow-through like AIO's plates (aka 1 side in and out the other, no billion zig-zag) He likely could have gotten very good temp at medium pump speed.
@hokusai4687
I LOVE that the water channels look like a piece of toast 👌
@snowboundmage
Great Idea, might even become the default for high end cpus in the future
@MikeStavola
It's both stupid and brilliant, and I love it.
@Thanatos2996
“Work hard and everything will go well for you” may not hold, but “fail to work hard and nothing will go well for you” is certainly true.
@matgaw123
I had this exact idea 😢 but no CNC It all started like a year ago There was also an option to do this with heat pipes
@JKK1375
I did that in my engineering class for my FX 8350

@danwellington3571
Maybe we'll eventually get hotswap lids with standardized sizes so people can use these more often
@davitdavid7165
I can see a company selling lids like this for enthusiasts and people buying them for lower temps or to make their mini pcs even smaller.

I use a H150i Elite Capellix (Corsair's 360mm AIO) for my 118 SP 13900k (gold grade) - NO DELID + STANDARD ARTIC SILVER 5 + CONTACT FRAME I run 1.150v at 5.5ghz allcore and get the same single thread as average CPU-Z bench with more multi-thread at just 30-40 celcius idle 30-40watts and 40-50 celcius in most games and 60 celcius under editing workloads pulling low 80 max in Prime95 AVX + AVX2 under 100% load for 30 mins. 0 issues with temperatures here. Even at 6ghz allcore I get 60-70 celcius in MWIII, Cyberpunk, BFV etc. My setup is 3rd in 3DMark for similar builds with 20 celcius less than average C: I've also had 0 issues with my CPU it's been running perfectly since I bought it a couple years ago.
