Noctua has just announced its NA-TPG1 thermal paste guard for AMD's new Ryzen 7000 series CPUs. Most of you know by now that there is quite a bit of concern over AMD's new heat spreader design for the Ryzen 4 CPUs. The "cut-out" will undoubtedly become thermal paste troughs and make the cleaning of old paste from CPUs far more difficult. Noctua's solution, the NA-TPG1, is a thin polycarbonate guard that helps to reduce the mess. Availability is expected in December and will be sold individually ($7.90), or bundled with the NT-H1 ($9.90) and NT-H2 ($13.90) AM5 Edition Thermal pastes. Below is Noctua's press release.
