In a swift move, Thermal Grizzly introduced the delidded Ryzen 7 9850X3D processor, which hit the market approximately three weeks ago. This processor is touted as the fastest gaming CPU available, succeeding the Ryzen 7 9800X3D while maintaining most of its specifications, aside from a higher boost clock. Recall that Thermal Grizzly began retailing delidded versions of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D shortly after its Q1 2025 launch.

Delidding refers to the process of removing the integrated heat spreader (IHS) from the CPU, revealing the internal dies such as the compute die (CCD) and the I/O die (IOD).Although this process typically voids any existing warranty, Thermal Grizzly mitigates this concern by providing a warranty for their delidded CPUs. This approach appeals to enthusiasts seeking optimized cooling solutions and greater overclocking capabilities without worrying about warranty issues.

It’s important to note that delidded processors are offered at a premium compared to their standard counterparts. For instance, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D debuted at $479 but was priced at $712 in its delidded form from Thermal Grizzly. Similarly, the Ryzen 9 9950X3D retails for an eye-watering $1, 168, well above its launch price of $699. The recently introduced Ryzen 7 9850X3D is available for $876, which is $350 above its suggested retail price.

This product caters primarily to enthusiast overclockers rather than the average gamer, allowing them to fully exploit the processor’s potential. The delidded Ryzen 7 9850X3D comes with a two-year warranty from Thermal Grizzly, but the company has explicitly advised against using the stock heat spreader that accompanies the product, as doing so will void the warranty.
