SIGNATUREV3AMD
THE ULTIMATE AM5 CPU BLOCK
SIGNATUREV3AMD
THE ULTIMATE AM5 CPU BLOCK
The Optimus Signature V3 block is the finest CPU block ever created for AMD AM5 CPUs. With the goal of creating the best ever, we went back to the drawing board and redesigned a CPU block from the ground up. 100% new cold plate, revolutionary Jet Structure and a monolithic metal body worthy of the Signature name.
SIGNATUREV2
THE ULTIMATE INTEL CPU BLOCK
WORLD-CLASSPERFORMANCE
The Optimus Signature V3 AMD is measurably cooler than competing blocks, in bothbare die and standard IHS applications. With 3-6c better performance than other blocks on standard installations and an incredible 6.71c better performance than the Thermal Grizzly Mycro block on direct die, The Signature V3 is made for the highest performance available.
Benchmarked using a labratory-grade testing system with a margin of error of only +/-0.3c, the Signature V3 is able to handle even the most demanding Ryzen 7000 performance loads in 24/7 applications.
INSANE PERFORMANCE
Optimus on IHS vs Bare Die Block: Optimus is 1c-4c cooler
Optimus bare die vs bare die block: Optimus is 8c-12c cooler
Yes, you read that right:
Optimus V3 on the standard CPU heat spreader (IHS) is 1c to 4c cooler than a bare die block on a delidded CPU.
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 is able to remove heat at a faster rate than competing designs.
BENCHMARKING EXPLAINED
BENCHMARKING EXPLAINED
The Signature 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).
OPTIMUS SIGNATURE TESTING SETUP:
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:
BARE DIE OPTIMIZED
BARE DIE OPTIMIZED
8-12c cooler vs bare die block
The Signature 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 on a standard IHS (no delidding).
Revolutionary Jet Structure
Near perfect flow and performance
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.

SIGNATUREV2
THE ULTIMATE INTEL CPU BLOCK
The Signature Block was fully designed with AM5 CPUs in mind. The offset jet structure design targets the CPU chiplets directly, while keeping the massive copper cold plate itself centered over the entire IHS. The V3 went through numerous iterations and tests to dial in the correct offset, cold plate size, bow shape and flow path, resulting in a block that squeezes out every last bit of performance from the CPU.
NEXT-LEVEL CONSTRUCTION
Many new developments went into the Signature V3 block:
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 blocks (Gen3 vs Gen2 cold plate shown).
Additionally, numerous other improvements have gone into the Gen3 cold plates beyond simply fin area. Now fins are even more precise and stronger for incredibly even flow across the entire surface. Additional work has gone into the overall design, including wall thickness, exit pockets and IHS matching characteristics.
While making an Optimus cold plate takes considerably longer than a traditional cold plate, the performance results are worth it.
SURFACE AREA MATTERS
Cooling is simple: more surface area = better cooling. Larger radiators perform better than small radiators. Same with cold plates, more surface area is able to dissipate heat at a faster rate than lower surface area cold plates. 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 flattest 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.
