The latest entry in AMD's Ryzen 9000 lineup, the 9850X3D, is set to launch in just a few days worldwide, but it seems like China will be getting a little special treatment when it does. UNIKO's Hardware has spotted an official boxed bundle containing the new X3D chip, alongside a Cooler Master cooler and V-Color RAM. The set is likely aimed at offering customers a convenient all-in-one solution.

That's not the case here, as you can see AMD, Cooler Master, and V-Color's logo on the box, signaling this is an official collab, at least in China. It was unveiled at Cooler Master's latest press event in the region. The included cooler, therefore, is Cooler Master's Hyper 612 Apex, which costs $79.99. The RAM is a 32 GB kit of V-Color's Manta XFinity RGB DDR5-6000 that's retailing for ~$500 right now.

It launched at around $200 at the time of our original coverage in September, 2025. We've since reviewed the 64 GB 6400 MT/s kit favorably just a few days ago. Lastly, the Ryzen 7 9850X3D CPU itself has an MSRP of $500, which totals out this package to $1,080 individually, but we don't know the actual bundle's cost.

A couple of days ago, AMD said the 9850X3D doesn't require high-speed DDR5. With kits running at bone stock 4800 MT/s JEDEC spec, versus overclocked 6000 MT/s units with EXPO profiles that offer less than a 1% difference in FPS. So, there's at least some sort of silver lining with this new processor launch. Just find the absolute cheapest DDR5 you can and enjoy the best PC gaming has to offer.

    High speed DDR4 has little effect on my 5800X3D as well. CAS latency doesn't matter much either. A few extra FPS isn't worth the higher price of premium kits.

    Bro. Your supposed to be a journalist. Do journalist things, and figure out the cost.

    This seems like a half finished half researched article.

    Just saying this exists, like I can find that out on reddit or something g myself.
