Noctua NA-STPG1, Thermal Paste Guard and Cleaning Set for AMD AM5 CPUs

Works exactly as advertised, installed on AM5 socket hassle free

Worth the money for peace of mind when applying thermal paste. It is shaped to only fit in the correct orientation, protects the CPU PCB from thermal paste if it gets pressed out whilst attaching the CPU cooler. Overall a great product well worth the price.

Easy to apply, a little pricey but that’s okay for a bit of peace of mind. Not much else to say honestly.

First as should and makes it easy to clean cpu. I’m using a AM5 9000 series and this is 100% safe to use as the plastic is rated to higher temps than the cpus can physically get. Has made changing cpus easy too. It is also very easy to fit and install and id say value for money as it’s reusable . It also helps prevent any overspill of thermal goods. The quality also seems quite good. Just a little expensive. It

brilliant little thing allowing you to clean up am5 cpu so it looks like new. when replacing thermal paste which was previously impossible due to shape

The Guard does what it is intended to do, but it is too expensive, for what it is. That's probably why ten wipes are included. The product could be improved by having a slight tint instead of being clear.

Just pop it over the CPU and it stops the thermal paste getting down into the crevices. When it came to it I was quite relieved that I'd bought it (it did make me think that the shape of the new AMD chip was a pretty silly design choice). I think they should come as standard, and not as an afterthought. Reportedly adequately heat resistant.

Yes its expensive for what it is but is good to have if you don't wanna make a mess to the cpu and on a top of this you get a cleaning tissue .
