Thermal Grizzly, under the direction of Hartung, is innovatively repackaging AMD CPUs, specifically their Ryzen 7 9800X3D, for enthusiasts willing to pay a premium. After purchasing the CPUs from Mind Factory, they undergo a delidding process involving precision baking to remove the Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS). This labor-intensive method incurs risks as any returns significantly impact their profits. Currently priced at $712.95, these chips are aimed at consumers who desire enhanced performance. Hartung mentions potential future expansions into other chip lines, contingent on demand.
Thermal Grizzly is buying the CPUs from German store Mind Factory, spending the labor time to delid, test, and verify each chip, then selling them at a markup.
It smells like CPU barbecue in here a little bit, Hartung says, while what he describes as $10,000 worth of CPUs is going to be melted.
