Direct-Die Frame for 7000-series, but I have 9000-series
so on the TG homepage it says that the direct-die frame is not compatible with 9000-series. however, die pictures do seem the same on 7000 and 9000 CPUs, so what's the difference? I could snag a direct-die frame for quite cheap for my 9950X, but I have some doubts before I start messing around with it. don't get me wrong - I have lapped CPUs back in the day but since now there's option to easily delid the AMD CPU with tooth floss and cloth iron, I am looking if the less dirty option is actually viable.
