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 Intel Core Ultra 7 270K.
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 already delidded and having it backed by a warranty is a safer option.
The Core Ultra 7 270K is part of Intel's Arrow Lake desktop line-up, offering 20 CPU cores, a 5.3GHz boost clock speed and an on-board NPU for AI acceleration. Considering the effectiveness of liquid cooling on a delidded CPU, you may be able to push for even more performance with a custom overclock.
The TG Delidded Intel Core Ultra 7 270K is available now, priced at €449. The company also offers delidded versions of the Ryzen 9950X3D, the Ryzen 9850X3D and the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K.
