direct die peltier cooling

[vega 128]

i recently got the idea to overclock my pc and for the best stability while overclocking lower temperatures are generaly better so i came up with the plan to delid my cpu and put a wather block directly on it but fom an article i learned that the plastic part of the soket stands 0.4mm above the die so my soulution would be to put a 100w peltier at a 45degree angle between the block and the die.

i now only have a cuple questions witch would be is this cooling adiquit for an i5 8600k and do i need to insulate the soket if yes what is the best way to do so on a vetical motherboard

You would need a 200w+ TEC, 100w will not cut it.

 

Back when TEC coolers were more popular, a 100w unit was fine because the processors were only putting out 80-90w with an overclock.

Peltier cooling is generally not practical, and direct die cooling is generally not worth it.

 

Just delid, repaste/liquid metal the IHS, put a normal waterblock on it, Liquid cool it with a nice cool loop, and bobs your uncle.  Probably will never exceed 55c

Just get the direct die waterblock that replaces the IHS.  Getting rid of the IHS is good for about 5 degrees on top of the watercooling gains.

Personally I wouldn't care for the risk having my processor jankily delidded, for the gains.  Your not going to hit a new high for your overclockability without hitting voltages that are just unsafe anyway under any water setup with a delid.

 

Just assuming the OP wants a functional 24/7 safe system.

 

You can get that direct die waterblock that LTT showed off but meh

24/7 safe systems don't use a TEC.

well of course ;p thats why I was advising against it to begin with

 

There are far better ways to get far better temps then using a TEC.  like.. Chillboxes

you are proberbly right Gigabyte my z370 aorus ultra gaming can't handle such voltages anyways
