Core 1 compatibility with Thermal Grizzly's High Performance Heat Spreader?

I have the Core 1 LT and the AM5 performance kit (offset) from Alphacool. Would a delidded AM5 CPU and the TG High Performance Heat Spreader be compatible with this setup? Edit: The TG heat spreader sit 1.7 mm lower than a normal AM5 heat spreader

Edit: I ended up getting the V2 direct die frame and the Thermal Grizzly AM5 offset mounting kit.

I used the kit to offset the cooler down and right (offset legs turned 45 degrees clockwise from 3:00 o'clock position). This mounting method landed the center of the cold plate (just under the water inlet) smack dab on top of the single CCD.

Using Polar Therm X10 thermal paste, CCD idled at 30c degrees. At a 140w load, temps stayed around 85c. Delta between hottest and coolest cores was about 10c.

IO die was in the 40s regardless of load.

Coolant 25ish degree.

Based on these results, I assumed my mounting was good and proceeded to apply liquid metal.

Unfortunately, while applying LM I dropped my CPU block on my motherboard, knocking off some SMDs and killing it in the process. Work on the project has been halted until I get a new components.
