Thermal Grizzly Releases New De-Lidded Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus CPUs
The Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus belongs to the Arrow Lake Refresh for Intel socket LGA1851 and delivers solid performance. With overclocking, the 270K Plus even surpasses the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K, the former Arrow Lake flagship. And it does so with a significantly better price-performance ratio. The best everyday temperatures for both processors are achieved with a direct-die water block in combination with liquid metal as the thermal interface material (TIM) and a custom water-cooling loop with as much radiator surface area as possible.
Delidded processors with a warranty provided by TG
The TG Delidded CPU is a processor that has been delidded by our trained staff and subsequently validated. During delidding, or "removing the lid," the processor's heatspreader is removed. While delidding and the use of corresponding direct-die coolers can significantly reduce temperatures under load, delidding results in the loss of the manufacturer's warranty. In the case of the TG Delidded CPU, Thermal Grizzly offers a warranty in addition to the legally required seller warranty.
After delidding, the TG Delidded CPU is first cleaned. Then only the dies are lightly sanded to improve the adhesion of the liquid metal. Great care is taken not to damage any components. This is a purely surface-level treatment that further optimizes temperatures. After preparation, the CPU undergoes a functionality test. The temperature measured during this test is documented by screenshot and stored on a USB flash drive included with the CPU. Also included on the USB flash drive is a microscope image of the delidded processor.

This is a chip for those who would like to have something delidded, and provided warranty on top of it.
Plug and play. If you don't like it don't buy it. It's not for you obviously.
Let them provide delidded AMD CPU's.
But if you buy or delid a CPU, who gives a damn about warranty.
i doubt intel will be so kind to give you a replacement cpu for those fail 13 and 14th gen intel core cpus when it is intel fault but you grinded down the heatspreader or removed it. optical and tactile measurement machine can easily identify that a consumer changed the cpu. warranty denied.
