Avoid thermal paste overload on your AMD Ryzen AM5 CPU with Noctua's guard

A simple piece of plastic but a clever idea: Noctua has made a thermal paste guard to protect your AMD Ryzen 7000 chip from becoming an absolute mess once it's slathered in thermal paste.

AMD has put together a wonderful looking heat spreader for its Ryzen 7000 CPUs. So wonderful, in fact, it's a bit of a nightmare to clean once you put much-needed thermal paste all over it. Every corner and crevice will get loaded with the stuff. But you might be able to make life a little easier with Noctua's newThe guard is literally a piece of well-fitting plastic and it sits around your processor to catch any paste that's squeezed over the edge of the heatspreader.

Ultimately, it shouldn't really matter if your chip gets thermal paste all over it. Most standard paste is non-conductive nowadays, so even if it does get over your processor, VRM, graphics card, desk mat, monitors, face, etc. you're probably alright, electrically.Your next upgrade

When I built my pc about 5 years ago, I really stressed over the cpu and applying paste correctly. I watched several videos. I can't remember how exactly I ended up doing it, but never had a problem so I guess I did it correctly.

It depends on how you use it lol
