Thermal Grizzly sells delidded AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 for $1,403 with warranty

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Thermal Grizzly is now selling a delidded version of AMD's Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition processor for $1,403, which is $500 more than the standard version. This premium price includes thorough cleaning, testing, and a 24-month warranty, offering peace of mind as delidding voids AMD's original warranty. While direct-die cooling can improve thermal performance and potentially reduce noise, the warranty restricts overclocking beyond AMD's specified limits, making it less appealing for extreme overclockers.
