Thermal Grizzly has just launched an exciting new program that’s bound to catch the attention of tech enthusiasts and performance seekers. This innovative offering provides pre-delidded AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D processors that promise enhanced cooling capabilities without the hassle of voiding your warranty.
Delidding, a practice that involves removing the integrated heat spreader (IHS) from a CPU, is popular among overclockers looking to maximize their processor’s efficiency. However, this complex process has been a risky DIY job typically voiding warranties, despite some companies offering delidding tools to help. Enter Thermal Grizzly, stepping up to simplify the process for you.
Currently, Thermal Grizzly is focusing on the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, with plans to include the Ryzen 9 9950X3D shortly. This service not only ensures precision through professional execution but also comes with the security of retaining your warranty. The process leverages specialized tools like the Delid-Die-Mate and ovens to carefully separate the IHS from the chiplets, and each processor is meticulously cleaned before shipping.
Each package from Thermal Grizzly includes both the delidded CPU and the original IHS. Importantly, it also provides detailed testing results based on scenarios like Cinebench R23 runs, accompanied by a high-performance heat spreader. A USB stick accompanies the hardware, containing test screenshots and even a microscopic image of your delidded processor.
For those considering this upgrade, Thermal Grizzly suggests pairing the delidded CPUs with Direct-Die cooling solutions such as the Mycro Direct-Die, Mycro Direct-Die Pro, or a High-Performance Heat Spreader to truly unlock the processor’s potential. However, these advanced cooling solutions could add to the overall investment cost.
You might be wondering about the price for this convenience and enhanced performance. The AMD TG Delidded Ryzen 7 9800X3D is priced at $712.95, which includes VAT and shipping. This is a noticeable increase from the standard $479 MSRP of the 9800X3D, but for tech enthusiasts seeking performance edge, the perks might just be worth it.
For those who have always wanted to push their processors to the limit while maintaining peace of mind with a valid warranty, Thermal Grizzly’s program is an appealing option to consider.
