Common Applications
The LTST-B is a direct-die CPU water block for delidded Intel 12th Gen Alder Lake and 13th Gen Raptor Lake processors on socket LGA 1700. With the IHS removed, the nickel-plated copper cold plate contacts the bare silicon, removing the factory TIM layer for lower core temperatures under extreme overclocking. Inlet and outlet are standard G1/4 BSPP. The block ships with a direct-die mounting frame replacing the stock LGA 1700 ILM, plus hardware. Liquid metal or Kryosheet recommended.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I have to delid my CPU?
A: Yes. The cold plate contacts the bare silicon die, so the IHS must be removed first. Delidding voids the Intel processor warranty.
Q: Which processors does it support?
A: Intel 12th Gen Alder Lake and 13th Gen Raptor Lake on socket LGA 1700, after delidding.
Q: What is the cold plate material?
A: Nickel-plated copper, with G1/4 BSPP inlet and outlet.
Q: What thermal interface should I use?
A: Liquid metal or a Thermal Grizzly Kryosheet conductive pad. Standard thermal paste loses most of the direct-die advantage.
Q: What ships in the box?
A: The block, a direct-die mounting frame that replaces the stock LGA 1700 ILM, and mounting hardware. TIM is not included.
