Considering the AM4 is still alive and doing well in the market, many Ryzen 5000 series […]

The newly launched flagship CPU has already entered the top 10 best-selling CPUs on Amazon and could eventually move up on the chart. AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Enjoys Better Popularity Than Intel's Best CPUs on Amazon, Selling as the 10th Best Selling CPU at $899 The Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 didn't impress much and brought even smaller uplifts over Ryzen 9 9950X3D than Ryzen 7 9850X3D brought over the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. Moreover, the hefty price tag of $899 makes it unappealing and unreachable for the masses. But there are always enthusiasts who wouldn't spend a day without buying the latest […]

It's disappointing to see where we are heading, but it appears that for PC hardware makers, nothing can save the current market except relaunching older hardware. The Relaunch of Ryzen 7 5800X3D and GeForce RTX 3060 is Close, but is it Really Something We Wanted? I think I got a little too excited for the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D when I heard it would relaunch soon, since I have been rocking the AM4 platform for years now. It has hardly been a year since it got discontinued, but AM4 has proved that a platform can last for nearly a decade […]

The Ryzen 7 9850X3D and Radeon RX 9070 XT are one of the most powerful pairings that you can stumble upon to make a gaming PC, as both can handle the most demanding of resolutions and still deliver incredibly high framerates to provide that visual ‘eye candy.’ Unfortunately, this configuration can be pricey for the majority of buyers, with some readers outright self-discouraging a purchase because of the ongoing DRAM crisis.

All three delidded Ryzen 9000X3D processors are now available on the official Thermal Grizzly website, including the recently launched 9850X3D. Thermal Grizzly Introduces AMD TG Delidded Ryzen 7 9850X3D CPU for $876.33 With Two Years of Warranty Thermal Grizzly was quick in introducing the delidded AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D processor, which was launched roughly three weeks ago. Ryzen 7 9850X3D is right now the fastest gaming processor, succeeding the 9800X3D with most of its specs identical except for the boost clock. If you remember, Thermal Grizzly started selling the delidded Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPUs in Q1 2025, just a few […]

Back in early 2025, Thermal Grizzly officially began selling delidded processors, backed by a warranty to give PC builders peace of mind. This week, the company is adding a new CPU to its delidded line-up – the AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D.

A delidded CPU ships with the IHS removed, offering beginners and veterans alike an easy gateway to improved cooling by using a direct-die solution. The process of removing the IHS yourself can be risky and void warranty, so buying one through Thermal Grizzly instead is a safer option.

The Ryzen 7 9850X3D is AMD's new flagship gaming processor. It launched at CES in January, offering up 104MB of speedy cache, alongside a boost clock speed of 5.6GHz. With the proper cooling, a delidded 9850X3D should be capable of hitting that boost clock speed and sustaining it more often. If you know what you're doing, you may be able to get a bit more performance out of it through manual overclocking too.

Each delidded CPU from Thermal Grizzly is validated by their team before being shipped out to customers, so you shouldn't have to worry about receiving a dud. The CPU ships with its own warranty guaranteed by Thermal Grizzly, as well as the validation test results so you can see what they tested first-hand.

The TG Delidded Ryzen 7 9850X3D is available now, priced at €749. The company also offers delidded versions of the Ryzen 9 9950X3D and the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K.
