Common questions on AMD, surfaced from across the indexed web.
How much does Thermal Grizzly charge for a pre-delidded Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 including VAT, and how does that compare to AMD's MSRP?
Thermal Grizzly lists the pre-delidded Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 for $1,402.83 including VAT. That is over $500 more than AMD's $899 MSRP for the standard chip. Answered
Is the Thermal Grizzly delidded 9950X3D2 compatible with AMD's Direct Die Frames?
No. The article states the delidded 9950X3D2 is not compatible with AMD's Direct Die Frames, and buyers are locked into Thermal Grizzly's own cooling ecosystem such as the Mycro Direct-Die or Mycro Direct-Die Pro. Answered
Which CPU sockets and platforms is the V8 ACE 3DHP Black compatible with (Intel and AMD)?
The V8 ACE 3DHP Black is compatible with Intel LGA 1851, LGA 1700, LGA 1200, and LGA 115x sockets, and with AMD AM5 and AM4 platforms. The review notes there are separate Intel and AMD versions (different base machining) and that both camps are covered. Answered
What is the difference between the Intel and AMD versions of the V8 ACE 3DHP Black and will the other-version hardware work on my platform?
The difference is in the base plate design: the Intel version has a convex mating surface for added pressure and more even contact across the IHS, while the AMD version’s mating surface is flatter; Cooler Master also notes an internal change in how the Intel 3DHP versions move heat to better suit Intel’s typically higher temperatures. Both versions include the hardware and will work on the other platform, but performance may not be as good as using the proper model for that system. The review also notes the Intel version can be harder to install on AMD boards because it takes more force to sta
