can i use this for direct die cooling for 7800x3d?
Will it work without any issue or do i need to get a proper direct die wb for it?

I don’t think you can direct die a 7800x3d
And even if so you need a full direct die kit
Or you will kill the cpu
yes, this is assuming i have the thermal grizzly direct die kit
Why the hell are you direct die 7800X3D
That's VERY overkill
You can cool it will a AMD stock cooler without thermal throttling
Why
Can’t even overclock it, what’s the point
Risking a $350 CPU for better temps when it consumes 90w on average
No it can’t the stock cooler will just make it thermal throttle but it dosent need much
Why the fuck would you direct die cool a 100w max chip
That’d be like direct die cooling an i3
Real
The wraith prism cooler could probably cool it tbh
My cpu runs hot for some reason. Sits 55-60 idle without any heavy load on it with water cooling. Its not a bad mount or cooler setup since i used air cooler and the results were same
Not hot
That’s normal
Unless what cooler do you have
What is it under load
55?? That's fine
My old cpu the 9700f used to idle at 80
But under load was at like 92 ish
And I had a 240m Rad on it
No. Just basic windows os load
In safe mode. So there's was no 3rd party apps load as well
Or just don’t direct die cool a 7800x3d bc it pulls under 100w
It’s not worth risking the chip when delidding it when literally any waterblock would suffice
Delidding is relatively risk free nowadays, especially with the tools that exist
Ekwb 
No. Garden hose and a balloon>>
I saw some delid vids of 7800x3d.
Do i need to use blade to scrape off the soldier from the chip itself?
Either that or using liquid metal to dissolve the solder
This is way safer. Do this
