THE FINEST AMD WATERBLOCK EVER CREATED
BARE DIE: Includes mounting for bare die, does not include bare die frame. Standard IHS installation is highly recommended (users will see possibly 6c improvement going to bare die).
Collections: Products, Waterblocks
Type: CPU Block
Category: AMD, spo-cs-disabled, spo-default, spo-disabled, spo-notify-me-disabled

THE ULTIMATE AM5 CPU BLOCK
SIGNATUREV3AMD
THE ULTIMATE AM5 CPU BLOCK
The Optimus Signature V3 Pro block offers the same great thermal and flow performance as our REV2 model, but with a more cost efficient design. The Cerakoted brass top is replaced with an anodized aluminum cover, that offers the same rigidity while not making contact with the flow path. An acetal top slots into the aluminum cover and offers a surface that is highly resistant to corrosion. There is also no concern of thread cracking over prolonged use with acetal. The Signature V3 Pro AMD block has the same cold plate and insert design as the REV2, so no performance is lost.

THE ULTIMATE INTEL CPU BLOCK
WHY SO GOOD?
WHY SO GOOD?
The biggest reason Optimus blocks are so much better than the competition is because the high heat output in increasingly smaller areas. For example, a GPU die used to output 250w maximum. Now, GPUs have smaller dies but vastly higher heat output at 600w.
With the latest CPUs, especially bare die, the actual surface area needing to be cooled is extremely compact. This means the fins directly above the die itself do the majority of the work to cool the CPU.
Performance is relatively simple to explain: surface area + flow rate + contact = performance. By having the highest possible surface area directly above the dies, and then increasing the flow rate through the new Signature jet system, plus a highly-specific contact mounting system for AM5, the Optimus Signature V3 Pro is able to remove heat at a faster rate than competing designs.
BENCHMARKING EXPLAINED
BENCHMARKING EXPLAINED
The Signature Pro block's performance was designed and callibrated in a very strict testing setup, allowing for repeatable results. Using a lab-grade liquid temperature regulator with Prime 95 using locked parameters allows for very accurate and isolated testing of block thermal performance. Your results will vary greatly depending on numerous factors (see below).

BARE DIE OPTIMIZED
The Signature Pro Block is ready for bare die or standard installations out of the box. Included 4mm spacers compensate for the removal of the CPU IHS.
We went through numerous block designs, including extremely custom bare-die specific models, to arrive at a block that has top performance for both lidded and delidded applications.
Note: Die frame from a 3rd party is required for bare die installation.
IMPORTANT: Bare die and delidding CPUs void CPU warranties and are only for expert PC builders who want to push the extremes of what a CPU can achieve. We recommend using the Optimus V3 Pro on a standard IHS (no delidding).
Revolutionary Jet Structure
Near perfect flow and performance
The new two piece jet structure (blue) replaces typical jet plates and inserts, allowing for maximum flow with highest possible velocity onto the fins. The unique flow path transitions from a circle to a slot with zero bends or edges that create liquid vortexes that slow the velocity of the coolant. Because of its unique, non-traditional shape, the insert is impossible to be machined out of a single piece of material, requiring a two piece design machined with extreme precision so the two pieces mate together perfectly. When machined out of Delrin polymer, the insert strength, surface finish, and precision surpasses anything that could be done with injection molding or 3D printing.

Signature GEN3
MICROFIN COLD PLATE
THE BEST IS NOW BETTER
Optimus's legendary fin design features the finest fins in the world, now improved with a 25% larger cold plate designed for Optimus Signature Pro blocks (Gen3 vs Gen2 cold plate shown).
While making an Optimus cold plate takes considerably longer than a traditional cold plate, the performance results are worth it.
SURFACE AREA MATTERS
While large fin cooling designs were acceptable for lower wattage products, these days they are easily overwhelmed by modern higher power components. This is especially critical with new, smaller dies with far greater wattages. The smaller and more powerful it becomes, the more difficult it is to cool.
THE FINEST FINS EVER CREATED
Over three years of development went into creating our truly next-level patent-pending fin technology. Using a fully CNC machining process, Optimus is able to achieve 0.1016mm (0.004”) fins with 0.2032mm (0.008”) micro channels. This isn't just superior craftsmanship, it's generations beyond other fin designs.
WORLD'S SMOOTHEST COLDPLATE
Optimus sets another record for the smoothest cold plate on the market. Optimus machines blocks less than 1 micro-inch (µin) in flatness. This is 0.000025mm of roughness (measuring the peaks and valleys of the surface).Other companies are over 400% rougher than Optimus coldplates.
The only way to truly guarantee 0.000025mm level of accuracy is to CNC the cold plate perfectly with diamond bits. Optimus created proprietary diamond tooling that allows the cold plates to come off the CNC with a perfect mirror finish.
Additionally, because we control the fins and cold plate to such a precise level, we can make the distance between CPU IHS and the fins extremely small. Thin cold plates are able to transfer heat from the CPU faster than thicker cold plates.

TESTING VARIABLES EXPLAINED:
There are many variables with testing, especially at home in an enclosed PC. When testing at 1 degree variations, these factors become much more important. Here are factors we consider for isolating performance metrics:
