NA-STPG1

Works as described!

I always go to Noctua for fans and heatsinks. This product helps avoid a mess. They are pricey but you get what you pay for from this company. Their support is top notch and very responsive. We need more companies like this and evga.

Works as advertised. Certainly much cheaper and less of a hassle than a contact frame. I'm docking one star because it's a bit expensive to only have one guard in the box. I'm guessing the price is what it is due to the generous supply of cleaning wipes but it'd be nice if they through through the product offering a bit more. I don't think most users are constantly needing to re-paste, and if they are they likely already have a cleaning solution available anyways. It'd just make more sense to reduce the number of cleaning wipes to either make it cheaper or include extra guard pieces. Note that the initial reviews of this seemed to suggest that it was still possible for thermal paste to still leak through but as of 11/2024, I think they likely tightened things up and after trying it out yesterday, I doubt that will happen, at least not to the degree where you'd still have a mess to clean up.

This thing is a massive time saver and will help with anything you have to do later. This will make cleaning up of you CPU so much easier. This has made sure that thermal paste does not leak onto the edges of the CPU. Buy IT.

Its useful if you are planning on putting the cooler on and removing it several times. It keeps the paste from getting stuck in the weird crevices of the AM5 chips. However beyond that its really not necessary. I unfortunately had an issue with my computer posting and i had to apply and remove the cooler multiple times while trouble shooting the issue and it made cleanup of the chip much easier.

Great product . . . IF you can find the paste guard stuck to the box. I didn't and assembled my system without it.

The simple die cut plastic to protect your cpu is effective. The included wipes to clean your cpu and cooler are helpful. I have no idea how they computed the price but it is worth the $10 bucks.

I wish I had known about the Noctua NA-STPG1 Thermal Paste Guard sooner—it’s an absolute lifesaver! Applying thermal paste can sometimes get messy, but this guard makes the process so much easier and cleaner. It’s incredibly simple to use; just place it on the CPU, and it prevents excess paste from spreading to places you don’t want it to go. Another huge plus is that it’s reusable, so you can keep it handy for future builds or upgrades. And at this price, it’s a fantastic deal for the time and frustration it saves. If you’ve ever struggled with applying thermal paste perfectly, this tool is a must-have. I’ll never go back to applying paste without it! Highly recommended for PC builders of all skill levels.

Skyddar cpun bra så det inte rinner över någon kylpasta på moderkortet

Works exactly as advertised, installed on AM5 socket hassle free

The Noctua NA‑STPG1 is a clever little tool for keeping your AM5 CPU and socket clean. It doesn’t boost performance, but for people who frequently re‑paste or simply want to avoid mess, it’s a handy and inexpensive accessory. If cleanliness and ease of maintenance matter to you, it’s worth it — but if you never remove your cooler or don’t mind cleaning manually, you might be fine without it.

Termal macunu henüz denemedim ancak, işlemci çerçevesi metal gibi duruyor görselde ancak elime ulaşan şeffaf bir plastik bunu kendim de yapabilirim . Kesinlikle tuzak almayın.

Finished my PC Build last week and this was a perfect addition to keep everything clean. Temperatures are under 30 degrees Celsius so no impact there. Absolutely worth it.
