It's a powerful GPU block for enthusiasts who wouldn't mind spending over $600 for the premium cooling experience it offers. Der8auer Demonstrates the Exceptional Cooling Performance of Deltamate GPU Block for ROG Astral RTX 5080 GPU; GPU Block Costs Over $600 The ROG Astral RTX 5080 GPU from ASUS falls under the high-performance/premium GPU category, but its stock cooler may not be very appealing to enthusiasts. If you are someone who already owns the Astral RTX 5080, then you should take a look at what Der8auer calls "The Most Ambitious GPU Water Block..." they (Thermal Grizzly) have ever built. This […]
Thermal Grizzly has launched two new RGB CPU water blocks, designed to deliver strong cooling and a clean look for modern PC builds. The new models include the AM5 Mycro Pro RGB and the Intel 1851 Mycro Pro RGB, and both are now available for users who want better cooling performance.
These water blocks come with a nickel-plated copper base plate, which helps transfer heat quickly away from the CPU. The top part is made of tempered acrylic glass, giving a clear view of the internal flow and RGB lighting. There is also an anodised aluminium cover that adds strength and a premium feel.
One useful feature is the built-in fine mesh filter at the inlet. This filter catches small particles inside the cooling loop, such as dust or tiny leftover bits from radiators. These particles can block the tiny fins inside the block, which can reduce cooling performance. With this filter, users can keep the flow clean and maintain stable temperatures for a longer time.
The cold plate uses very small microfins, each just 0.2 mm wide. There are up to 70 fins, depending on the model. This design increases the surface area, helping the liquid absorb heat more quickly. The internal structure is also made to improve water flow, which further boosts cooling performance.
In terms of compatibility, the AM5 version also works with older AM4 motherboards. The Intel version supports the latest Socket LGA1851 and is also compatible with LGA1700. However, there are some limits. The AM5 model does not support the high-performance heatspreader, while the Intel model works with the LGA1700 version.
Looking ahead, the company also shared plans for new DeltaMate CPU water blocks coming this summer. These models will use real glass and a brass base, offering even better performance and a more premium design.
Mycro Pro RGB CPU water blocks price and availability
Both of the new Mycro Pro RGB water blocks are available now, with a price of $169.53.
Thermal Grizzly has expanded its cooling lineup with two new CPU water blocks, the AM5 Mycro Pro RGB and the Intel 1851 Mycro Pro RGB, both built around the company’s ultra‑fine 0.2mm microfin cold‑plate design. The blocks follow the layout of the existing Mycro Direct‑Die series but adapt it for standard CPU installations, pairing a nickel‑plated copper base with an acrylic top, anodised aluminium cover and integrated RGB lighting.
Both models feature a fine‑mesh filter positioned directly at the inlet port. Thermal Grizzly says this captures particles circulating in a loop before they can clog the microfins. Keeping debris away from the cold plate helps maintain coolant flow and prevents the gradual thermal degradation that can raise CPU temperatures over time. The filter can be removed and cleaned when needed.
The cold plate itself uses 68 microfins on the AM5 version and 70 on the Intel 1851 model, maximising surface area for heat transfer. An acrylic jet plate directs coolant across the fin array to improve flow and cooling efficiency, while standard G1/4‑inch ports ensure compatibility with common fittings.
Both blocks are available now through Thermal Grizzly’s online store. Pricing is set at €139.90 for the AM5 Mycro Pro RGB and €144.90 for the Intel 1851 version.
The user will now get a free Wireview Pro 2 for his ROG Astral RTX 5090, whose Wireview Pro connector was melted due to ignoring the temperature warning. Der8auer Appreciates The Effort and Dedication of the ROG Astral RTX 5090 User and is Sending Him The Latest Wireview Pro 2 Yesterday, we reported that a user had his Wireview Pro connector melt due to high temperatures. The user reportedly shunt-modded his ROG Astral RTX 5090 and also flashed the MSI RTX 5090 Lightning Z 1000W BIOS to increase the power limit on the GPU. Due to this configuration, his Wireview […]

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.
