OPTIMUS SIGNATURE V3 CPU BLOCK - AMD- NICKEL CERAMIC- RAW COPPER COLD PLATE

THE FINEST AMD WATERBLOCK EVER CREATED

• Insane performance: 8-12c better than competing bare die block
• 1c-4c better on an IHS than a delidded CPU bare die block
• All new machined 2 piece ultra-optimized jet block insert.
• New Signature Gen3 cold plate with 25% increase in surface area.
• Higher flow and lower restriction than previous Signature V2 block.
• Massive brass monoblock structure.
• Custom micro-screwdriver for near-perfect torque installation.
• Incredibly strong ceramic Cerakote finish
• Raw copper or Pro-XE Nickel cold plate available (choose nickel for liquid metal)
• Includes Kingpin KPX thermal paste.
• 10 year warranty, 100% made in Chicago, USA.

BARE DIE: Includes mounting for bare die, does not include bare die frame. Standard IHS installation is highly recommended (users will see possibly 6c improvement going to bare die).

FAQ

• LIQUID METAL? BARE DIE?Go for it! Remember, liquid metal will etch copper immediately, though some builders like the performance of pure copper. Liquid metal will discolor nickel, but etching will take far longer. In both cases, performance of the cold plate won't be effected.
• THERMAL PASTE? We include Kingpin KPX thermal paste. However, numerous thermal pastes are also excellent. Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut and Arctic MX4 are two of the highest performance we have tested.
• FLOW DIRECTION? Fluid needs to flow in a specific direction -- center of fins and then out. On the V3 Signature block, the "in" is closer to the center of the block and the "out" is towards the top edge of the block.
• FLUSHING?All Optimus products have already been cleaned before shipping. You'll only need to flush your radiators and non-Optimus products. In fact, heavy system prep chemicals can be detrimental if they remain in small quantities in your loop. This can easily happen with fluid pressurized into o-ring grooves through heating.
• CLEANING? Microfiber is your friend. Dish soap and water is ideal for our products. Always use microfiber glass cloths to prevent any scratches, especially on cold plates. Do not scrub, simply hand rinse. Isopropyl alcohol is not needed and can cause discoloration.
• COPPER OXIDATION? Copper will immediately begin to oxidize (turn brown) when exposed to air. This is normal and expected and won't affect performance unless the oxidization is extreme, like the statue of liberty. But you're not leaving your blocks out by the ocean, are you?
