Thermal Grizzly, a well-known name in the PC cooling and enthusiast hardware market, has officially launched its TG Delidded CPU series. This new lineup provides pre-delidded processors, allowing users to take advantage of direct-die cooling without the risk of performing the delicate delidding process themselves. For the first time, the company is not only selling delidded CPUs but also assuming the manufacturer’s warranty, giving users peace of mind while achieving maximum cooling performance.
A Game-Changer for Enthusiasts and Overclockers
Delidding, the process of removing a CPU’s integrated heat spreader (IHS), has long been a technique favored by extreme overclockers and PC performance enthusiasts. By eliminating the IHS, heat dissipation is more efficient, as cooling solutions can be applied directly to the CPU die, reducing thermal resistance and lowering operating temperatures. However, delidding carries inherent risks, including potential CPU damage and the voiding of the manufacturer’s warranty.
With the introduction of the TG Delidded CPU series, Thermal Grizzly simplifies this process by offering CPUs that have already been professionally delidded and tested. This move provides enthusiasts and gamers with a high-performance cooling solution while mitigating the dangers associated with manual delidding.
Quality Assurance and Warranty Support
One of the most notable aspects of the TG Delidded CPU series is that Thermal Grizzly takes full responsibility for the warranty, ensuring that customers receive a fully functional, tested product. Each processor undergoes a rigorous testing procedure, with a functionality test conducted after delidding. To provide further transparency, customers receive a USB stick containing a screenshot of the test results and a high-resolution microscope photograph of the CPU die.
This level of quality assurance makes the TG Delidded CPU series an attractive option for those who want to push their systems to the limit without the uncertainty of self-delidding. The company’s reputation for providing high-performance cooling products, such as Conductonaut liquid metal thermal paste and the Mycro Direct-Die water cooling blocks, further reinforces the credibility of this initiative.
First Model in the Series: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
The TG Delidded CPU lineup debuts with the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, a highly anticipated processor known for its impressive 3D V-Cache technology, which enhances gaming performance by significantly increasing cache memory. By delidding this processor, Thermal Grizzly enables lower temperatures and potentially higher boost clock stability, making it a compelling choice for gamers and PC enthusiasts alike.
Thermal Grizzly has also confirmed that additional processors will be added to the lineup in the future. The AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D, another powerhouse CPU featuring AMD’s advanced 3D V-Cache, is expected to join the series at a later date.
