The Intel Mycro Direct-Die Pro RGB V1 is equipped with a jet system on the cooler surface and the cooling channel slot width has been optimised. The cooler's cold plate is made of nickel-plated copper and is mounted directly on the chip of the CPU. To do this, the integrated loading mechanism (ILM) of the motherboard is removed and the processor must be delidded. Nickel plating the cooler plate creates a barrier layer, so gallium-based liquid metal cannot diffuse into the copper and repeated application of liquid metal is usually not necessary.
