Thermal Grizzly Introduces Delidded Ryzen 7 9850X3D Processors for Sale at €749 Each

• February 20, 2026

Thermal Grizzly, known for its expertise in cooling solutions and thermal compound innovations, has expanded its product offerings into pre-delidded processors. The company has recently made available AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D CPUs that have undergone the delidding process, retailing each unit at a price of €749, approximately $876.

Delidding involves carefully removing the integrated heat spreader (IHS) from the processor chip to improve heat dissipation performance. This procedure is popular among enthusiasts and overclockers looking to achieve better thermal management and potentially higher clock speeds by applying superior thermal interface material directly to the processor die.

Each Ryzen 7 9850X3D processor offered by Thermal Grizzly is fully tested to ensure reliable operation despite the modification. The company guarantees these units with both its own warranty alongside the standard retail warranty, providing buyers with added assurance of product quality and support.

New Market Offering for Enthusiasts

Thermal Grizzly’s offering appeals particularly to users who seek enhanced cooling capabilities but prefer to avoid the risks and complexity of delidding the processor themselves. The Ryzen 7 9850X3D, featuring AMD’s 3D V-Cache technology, already presents a high-performance solution for gaming and other intensive workloads. With the delidding service provided by Thermal Grizzly, end users may see improved thermal headroom, potentially leading to better sustained performance under heavy load.

While the cost reflects the labor and testing involved in the delidding process, the transparency in warranty coverage and tight quality control distinguishes this product from typical third-party modifications. General consumers and hardware enthusiasts alike can now acquire a delidded Ryzen 7 9850X3D with official guarantees, which is uncommon in the market where delidded chips are often sold without warranties.

The move by Thermal Grizzly to commercialize delidded processors could change the availability of such specialized offerings, reducing the requirement for individual users to perform the delicate and risky process themselves. This development underscores ongoing innovation in the PC hardware ecosystem, focusing on thermal optimization and maximizing processor potential.

Details regarding wider availability, shipping regions, or potential plans to offer additional processor models delidded have yet to be disclosed by Thermal Grizzly. Interested customers should consider the implications of purchasing a modified CPU and verify compatibility with their cooling solutions and system configurations.

Thermal Grizzly has started selling delidded AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D processors, tested and backed by warranty, priced at €749 each.
