Intel is working with select PC makers to offer warranty-backed systems featuring delidded Core i9-14900KS processors. Overclocker and YouTuber Roman 'der8auer' Hartung commented on this groundbreaking move for Intel in his first video, which looks at what is expected to be the firm's last-ever Core i9 CPU.
The first PC maker seen offering delidded Core i9-14900KS CPUs as an option is Maingear. Atop the already steep Core i9-14900KS build option price, customers are expected to pay a further $200 for the delidded edition. Most Maingear models seemed to offer the delidded Core i9-14900KS as an option at the time of writing. When you upgrade to the delidded Core i9 in the Maingear configurator, you must also choose a 360mm AiO or better as the cooling option.
