Thermal Grizzly is gearing up for the release of AMD’s highly anticipated Ryzen 9000X3D series, as they announce the compatibility of their cooling solutions ahead of the official launch. As AMD enthusiasts eagerly await the new processors, many are already planning their upgrades, considering new motherboards, memory, and cooling options.
Thermal Grizzly has proactively confirmed that several of their products, such as direct die coolers, heat spreaders, and the increasingly popular mounting frames and CPU guards, will be compatible with the upcoming Ryzen 9000X3D series. This is excellent news, especially since the new Ryzen 9000 lineup is already designed to work seamlessly with existing components from the 7000 series.
In an official statement, Thermal Grizzly highlighted that both the Ryzen 9800X3D and the 9950X3D will fit well with many of their products. However, they caution that some changes might occur in the design of these new processors, particularly concerning the adhesive points on the SMD components. Should users encounter any installation hiccups, the company’s customer service is ready to help.
For those looking to upgrade, here is a list of currently compatible Thermal Grizzly products for the Ryzen 9800X3D and 9950X3D:
– Water Coolers: AM5 Mycro Direct-Die, AM5 Mycro Direct-Die RGB, AMD Mycro Direct-Die Pro RGB V1
– Heatspreaders: AM5 High Performance Heatspreader
– Mounting Frames & Kits: AM5 Contact & Sealing Frame, AM5 Adapter & Offset Mounting Kit, AM5 Short Backplate, AM5 M4 Backplate
– Tools: Ryzen 7000 Delid-Die-Mate, Ryzen 7000 Lapping Tool
– Thermal Paste Accessories
However, there is a word of caution regarding compatibility issues with a couple of existing products, specifically the Ryzen 7000 Direct Die Frame and Direct Die Frame V2. It’s suspected that the enhancements in the X3D series, particularly the additional silicon around the capacitors, make it unsuitable for these frames.
Excitement builds as the Ryzen 9800X3D is slated for release on November 7, with potential rumors pointing to a grand unveiling of the Ryzen 9900X3D and 9950X3D at CES 2025. As the tech community buzzes with anticipation, Thermal Grizzly’s timely compatibility announcement comes as a reassuring guide for those planning their next performance boost.
