It’s been a long time since we saw the peculiar cut of the IHS that the new AMD processors present. this generation has changed to LGA type socket where has been installed IHS with cuts on the sides leaving room for the internal circuitry of the processor. These cuts mean that when applying the thermal paste can fall into, with the consequent problem to clean them due to their difficult access. But Noctua has found the solution to this problem.
Noctua has designed a protector for AMD AM5 processors, called NA-TPG1which is placed in the processor to protect these areas. Its placement is very simple and prevents thermal paste from entering through these cutouts to avoid having to clean these hard-to-reach areas. It is made of polycarbonate that resists high temperatures and also it is very easy to remove when necessary.
The Noctua NA-TPG1 will be available separately or together with thermal paste of the brand. Separately, it will come in a pack along with 10 wipes that will allow you to comfortably clean the processor. It will also be available with AMD editions of the thermal pastes NT-H1 and NT-H2. From December you can buy this protector separately with a recommended price of €7.90or together with NT-H1 or NT-H2 at 3.5 g per 9.90 and 13.90 euros respectively.

I am a Computer Engineer and my specialty is automation and robotics. My passion for hardware began at the age of 14 when I gutted my first computer: a 386 DX 40 with 4MB of RAM and a 210MB hard drive. I continue to give free rein to my passion in the technical articles that I write in Geeknetic. I spend most of my free time playing video games, contemporary and retro, on the more than 20 consoles I have, in addition to the PC.
