The Ryzen 7000 Direct Die Frame V2 is a CPU mounting frame for mounting CPUs without the integrated heatspreader. The V2 variant of the AMD Ryzen 7000 Direct Die Frame offers increased compatibility with AM5 CPUs, in particular the Ryzen 7000X3D processors. We strongly advise you to follow all the instructions below! PRODUCT INFORMATION "DIRECT DIE FRAME V2" The Ryzen Direct Die Frame V2 (DDFV2) is a CPU mounting frame designed specifically for the AMD 7000 series X3D processors, but retains compatibility with non-X3D CPUs. It should be noted that the DDFV2 is not compatible with the Ryzen 8000G processors. It is compatible with both the normal Ryzen 7000 processors and the X3D CPUs, so that these can be mounted with this direct die frame without the integrated heatspreader and without the Socket Actuation Mechanism (SAM). The changes to the Ryzen Direct Die Frame V2 compared to the AMD Ryzen 7000 Direct Die Frame were necessary after AMD subsequently added additional bonding points on the X3D CPUs. Attention: Removing the heatspreader ("delidding") of a processor is at your own risk! The manufacturer's warranty expires when the CPU is delidded! Damage caused by delidding the CPU is not covered by the manufacturer's warranty! Removing the Socket Actuation Mechanism (SAM) of the mainboard may invalidate the manufacturer's warranty of the mainboard manufacturer! Compatibility note The Ryzen Direct Die Frame V2 is compatible with the following processors: Ryzen 5 7600 Ryzen 5 7600X Ryzen 7 7700 Ryzen 7 7800X3D Ryzen 9 7900 Ryzen 9 7900X Ryzen 9 7900X3D Ryzen 9 7950X Ryzen 9 7950X3D
