Thermal Grizzly says the TG Delidded CPU is intended for direct-die cooling. The company claims that removing the heatspreader and using liquid metal with a direct-die water block can reduce load temperatures by up to 22°C, depending on the custom loop and radiator setup.
The company also provides its own warranty, since delidding normally voids the CPU manufacturer’s warranty. Each processor is tested after preparation, and Thermal Grizzly includes a USB flash drive with a test screenshot and microscope image of the delidded processor.

There is one important restriction. Thermal Grizzly states that the original heatspreader must not be used with this CPU. The stock heatspreader is included in the package, but using it voids the Thermal Grizzly warranty because the height difference between the CPU dies and the original heatspreader may cause damage.
