AMD's Chiplet Design

With the Ryzen 3000 processor series AMD switched to a chiplet design. This means that instead of one monolithic cpu die on the package, there are now several dies under the heatspreader. Depending on the CPU, there are up to 4 CPU-dies and 1 I/O-die on the package.

The CPU-dies are manufactured on a 7 nm node, while the I/O-die ist produced in 12 nm. The chiplet design allows for better scaling of CPU cores and using a 12 nm I/O-die instead of one in 7 nm apparently helps with keeping production costs low.

Picture by AMD

But the chiplet design has at least one minor problem: cooling. On a ‘normal’ CPU the hotspot would be in the centre of the package. But since the chiplet design consists of several CPU-dies, the one hotspot is brocken up into several hotspot that are located at the corners of the package.

This means that CPU-coolers need to cover the whole heatspreader. But especially with All in One Cooler (AIO), or Closed Loop Coolers (CLC), we run into a problem. Most of these coolers have circular bottom plates that do not cover the corners of the heatspreader.

Depending on the CPU, the coolers would have to be mounted slightly higher or lower, and more to the left or right above the heatspreader. But normal AIO’s, or CLC’s, do not allow for variable mounting.

But there is a solution for this particular problem: the ‘der8auer RYZEN 3000 OC Bracket Mounts’.
