Hi all, 

 

I just received my naked die Kit for my ek supremacy evo Block.  The cpu is already delidded but I am still using the IHS.  This is however about to change.  I was wondering if i should bottom out the thumbs screws like I normally do when mounting the ek block but in this case I am inclined to hear out some advice before trying it out. I would hate to crack the chip

 

Or perhaps one of the affiliates might know?  @EK Luc @EK_Derick

I am pretty sure you should, so that the waterblock makes contact with the CPU die.... Just don't apply too much pressure on one side and tighten the screws in a cross pattern...

Pretty much my thought just wanted some confirmation so thanks  the manual doesn't really say.

Which CPU generation are you using? If it's a Skylake, we don't have any official support for it,

Ok so you're fine

 

As for the installation procedure, I would go all the way down in a cross pattern.  But since I don't have any experience with a naked CPU, maybe some more experienced users will say differently.

been googling like crazy. Found a couple that states the naked kit works the same as the normal and that going all the way down is intended. Thanks for you reply!
