Motherboards and waterblocks compatible with Spacer for Intel Skylake CPUs?

Friday, March 4th 2016, 11:39am

Hi all,
there is someone who mount bare die 6700K with this spacer?

I have asus maximus VIII gene motherboard, how can I understand if it is compatible?

Do I have to completely remove retention system (backplate included)?

If my waterblock contact surface area is too large, how to proceed?
cut the socket corners or modify waterblock?

Thanks!

The problem are the corners of the socket. They are slightly higher than the CPU die.

You will need a block that uses a surface that does not cover these corners (we have none); or you have to modify the block for this area of you have to grind down the plastic of the socket in the corners.
