Extreme overclockers might need new mounting frames for AMD 9000X3D chips, as Thermal Grizzly says two 'are likely incompatible without modifications'

AMD's 9000X3D chips are just around the corner and many a PC gamer is likely prepping the upgrade fund for a draining. Overclockers, too, might have their eyes set on the near horizon, waiting for the next generation of 3D V-Cache chips to put through their paces. At least some of those foaming at the bit, however, might need some new gear first.

Unfortunately for some, Thermal Grizzly says its Ryzen 7000 Direct Die Frame and its V2 version "are likely incompatible" with Ryzen 9000X3D CPUs, at least "without modifications".
