Correct measurement allows you to safely change your cooler's mounting method, removing the IHS completely.
I’m not sure about directing Die Cool, which is why I prefer using an IHS instead.
I completed LM on an i7 8700k and achieved a 20-degree temperature drop. When reassembling, placing the IHS correctly is crucial—center the pressure point at the top of the CPU core beneath the IHS so the surfaces align perfectly. I used a heat-resistant silicone sealant suitable for automotive applications as the adhesive. After letting it cure for several hours before taking apart, testing the CPU ensures even contact. If you skip resealing, maintaining flat alignment across all mounting points becomes extremely challenging.
This ensures the adhesive sets correctly while the parts are pressed together. I also own a Delid Mate 2; its locking system only makes contact at one point per side, allowing smooth sliding when locked. Without sealing, it could shift out of place. Why did they begin using a contact frame for the LGA1700 connectors?
