You can now buy a delidded Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition for $1,403 — stripped dual-cache offering is $500 more expensive than regular version
Thermal Grizzly offers the halo CPU with the pop topped for an egregious price, yet it almost makes sense on this chip.
Thermal Grizzly has begun selling a delidded version of AMD's Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition, priced at $1,402.83. This cost is significantly higher than the regular version, adding an extra $500 to the price. Thermal Grizzly provides more than just a processor without a heatspreader; it also includes a thorough cleaning, testing, a 24-month worldwide warranty, and a USB stick with test results and a microscope image of the exposed processor.
The warranty is noteworthy as it extends beyond the usual 12-month period and covers the entire product even after delidding, unlike AMD's standard warranty. Despite the steep price, enthusiasts may find this option attractive for a cooler-running and quieter system, provided they adhere to the warranty's restrictions on overclocking.
