Possibility for Apex Monoblocks’ support for AM5 heatspreaders

[Arietids]

From previous testing and reviews, it’s obvious that heat transfer is still the major bottleneck for cooling on the AM5 platform. Therefore, it should be nice to have the upcoming monoblocks support aftermarket heatspreaders as an advanced solution for better heat dissipation (though I’m aware that this would increase number of SKUs and manufacturing cost). Alternatively, is there a way to fix the incompatibility with ’normal’ monoblocks with heatspreaders (e.g the Thermal-Grizzly one)?

P.S. Maybe Direct-Die support will be more realistic?

We will not currently be making any special solutions for the monoblocks. The majority of customers do not want to remove or edit the CPU heatspreader. The loss of warranty and the risk is too great for most of them. The cooling performance in general is more than sufficient. We are planning something that improves the cooling performance without having to do anything to the CPU.
