Aqua computer spacer protects your skylake cpu without its ihs

Removing the IHS from the processor is standard practice for more enthusiastic users looking to get their processors down to the last MHz, thereby achieving better heat transfer between processor die and heatsink. A risky practice that can turn your processor into a cup holder of more than 300 euros and that the Aqua Computer Spacer wants to avoid.

The Aqua Computer Spacer protects your system with a bare Skylake CPU without the IHS. With the elimination of the IHS, the pressure that the heatsink exerts on the die of the processor is concentrated, which can break it, with the Aqua Computer Spacer the weight of the trigger is more evenly distributed and the die processor is protected.

Excessive weight can also cause the processor PCB to bend and thereby destroy the socket pins, a more serious problem in Skylake because the processor PCB is thinner and easier to bend than previous generations, thankfully the Aqua Computer Spacer also protects you from these damages by preventing the processor PCB from bending.

The Aqua Computer Spacer is carved with a laser of the highest precision and is fixed to your CPU by means of an included adhesive, an essential accessory if you intend to use your Skylake processor without its protective IHS.
