Thermal Grizzly now sells burnt Ryzen 7 9850X3D for €749 each

New model from Thermal Grizzly – delidded Ryzen 7 9850X3D

Thermal Grizzly has put AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D processors on sale that have had their factory thermal pad removed (delidding). The price is €749 (about $876). The product page emphasizes that this is a “processor without the lid, thoroughly tested,” and it comes with both Thermal Grizzly’s warranty and the seller’s standard warranty.

What delidding is and why it matters
Removing the lid improves heat transfer between the processor cores and the cooling system. This usually voids the manufacturer’s warranty, but Thermal Grizzly offsets that loss with its own protection.

These modifications are intended for experienced enthusiasts who already use advanced cooling solutions: direct contact cooling, custom water blocks, etc. The company recommends applying their liquid metal as a thermal interface and using direct‑contact water blocks for maximum effectiveness.

What is included
* Tested processor – each Ryzen 7 9850X3D undergoes strict inspection, after which Thermal Grizzly keeps the test protocol as a screenshot on a USB flash drive.

* Microscopic image – photo without the lid showing the crystal condition.

* Note on cosmetic defects – removal may leave a small dent, and marks from testing can remain even after cleaning.

Limitations and recommendations
1. The factory lid cannot be used – using it voids Thermal Grizzly’s warranty.

2. Height differences between the lid and the crystal make thermal paste or liquid metal insufficient to compensate, so the company strongly recommends using specially designed solutions.

3. Incompatibility with third‑party brackets – without the factory lid the Ryzen 7 9850X3D does not fit standard AMD mounting brackets.

Thus, Thermal Grizzly offers fully tested and guaranteed delidded processors for those willing to invest in high‑performance cooling and understand the risks of modification.
