THE ULTIMATE INTEL 1700 CPU BLOCK
The Optimus Signature V3 block is the finest CPU block ever created for Intel CPUs, custom designed for LGA 1700 platform models, including the 14900k, 13900k, 12900k CPUs.
With the goal of creating the best ever, we went back to the drawing board and redesigned a CPU block from the ground up.
New Intel-specific cold plate, revolutionary jet structure and a monolithic metal body worthy of the Signature name.

GROUND UP DESIGN
INTEL 1700 SPECIFIC OPTIMIZATIONÂ
The Signature Block was entirely designed for Intel's latest CPUs. The V3 went through numerous iterations and tests to dial in the correct offset, cold plate size, bow shape and flow path, resulting in a block that squeezes out every last bit of performance from the CPU.
WHY SO GOOD?
The biggest reason Optimus blocks are so much better than the competition is because the high heat output in increasingly smaller areas. For example, a GPU die used to output 250w maximum. Now, GPUs have smaller dies but vastly higher heat output at 600w.
With the latest CPUs, especially bare die, the actual surface area needing to be cooled is extremely compact. This means the fins directly above the die itself do the majority of the work to cool the CPU.
Performance is relatively simple to explain: surface area + flow rate + contact = performance. By having the highest possible surface area directly above the dies, and then increasing the flow rate through the new Signature jet system, plus a highly-specific contact mounting system for Intel, the Optimus Signature V3 is able to remove heat at a faster rate than competing designs.
WORLD'S SMOOTHEST COLDPLATE
Optimus sets another record for flattest cold plate on the market. Optimus machines blocks less than 1 micro-inch (µin) in flatness. This is 0.000025mm of roughness (measuring the peaks and valleys of the surface).Other companies are over 400% rougher than Optimus coldplates.
The only way to truly guarantee 0.000025mm level of accuracy is to CNC the cold plate perfectly with diamond bits. Optimus created proprietary diamond tooling that allows the cold plates to come off the CNC with a perfect mirror finish.
Additionally, because we control the fins and cold plate to such a precise level, we can make the distance between CPU IHS and the fins extremely small. Thin cold plates are able to transfer heat from the CPU faster than thicker cold plates.

Revolutionary Jet StructureÂ
Near perfect flow and performance
The new two piece jet structure (blue) replaces typical jet plates and inserts, allowing for maximum flow with highest possible velocity onto the fins. The unique flow path transitions from a circle to a slot with zero bends or edges that create liquid vortexes that slow the velocity of the coolant. Because of its unique, non-traditional shape, the insert is impossible to be machined out of a single piece of material, requiring a two piece design machined with extreme precision so the two pieces mate together perfectly. When machined out of Delrin polymer, the insert strength, surface finish, and precision surpasses anything that could be done with injection molding or 3D printing.
