Product Description


The NA-TPG1 is a simple yet highly effective means to preclude thermal paste build-up in the cut-outs of the heatspreader of AMD AM5 CPUs. When the mounting pressure of the cooling solution is applied, excess thermal paste will be squeezed outwards. With AM5 CPUs, this excess paste tends to accumulate in the cut-outs at the sides of the heatspreader and may become difficult to remove. Simple to apply, the NA-TPG1 prevents this undesired phenomenon. Combined with the ten included NA-CW1 cleaning wipes, the NA-STPG1 set gives you everything you need to keep your AM5 processor clean.
Installation:
Put the NA-TPG1 thermal paste guard onto the CPU to prevent the build-up of excess thermal paste in the cut-outs of the heatspreader.
Caution:
Make sure that the inner opening of the guard is correctly aligned with the outer edges of the heatspreader.
FAQ: Can the NA-TPG1 withstand the heat of the CPU?
Of course, the NA-TPG1 is made from highly heat-resistant polycarbonate and can withstand temperatures of up to 130°C.
FAQ: Does the NA-TPG1 have any effect on CPU temperature?
No, there is no measurable impact on CPU temperatures.

Scope of delivery:
- NA-TPG1 thermal paste guard
- 10x NA-CW1 cleaning wipes

- Reviewed in Canada on August 29, 2024Verified PurchaseFinished 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.
- Reviewed in Canada on February 13, 2023Verified PurchaseThis fit perfectly, so no worry about Thermal Paste getting into the notches on the AM5 CPUs so no mess. Not sure if its the reason but everyone is getting 95c on Stressing the CPU mine only goes to 87c so only thing I can think of is this guard. The wipes that they include with it are great as well. Will buy again for sure.
- Reviewed in Canada on April 14, 2024Verified PurchaseThe short story is it works. Thermal paste shouldn't be conductive anyway but it cant hurt to use a preventer like this so it doesn't get squished down passed your IHS.
The only recommendation I'd give Noctua would be use a colored plastic instead of clear. It can be really hard to see it, which means triple checking it did in fact sit around the cpu and didn't get bumped and is actually ontop of the cpu instead of around it. My photo attached shows the mask in place, as you can see (ha) it's really hard to see where it's sitting.
Overall would still recommend, I've done 2x ryzen builds with it to date.

- Reviewed in Canada on February 4, 2025Verified PurchasePrice is high really when you think of what it actually is (tiny plastic die cut thin plastic), but does help to stop any extra thermal paste from going over the edges of the odd shaped AMD5 chips. Will see if worth the money when the machine gets some time working. Non gamer but make my machines work with video edit and more.
- Reviewed in Canada on September 22, 2024Verified PurchaseIt reduces the risk of making a mess.
- Reviewed in Canada on February 17, 2023Verified PurchaseThese work but should come included with Noctua's CPU fans so it's a very poor value. Regardless, it does the trick. 5 stars for function, 1 for value.

5.0 out of 5 stars Utile Per AM%
Verified PurchasePiccolo accessorio, utile per non "sporcare" i Ryzen serie 7000 con la pasta che sborda nelle anse, semplice ed efficace. Bellissima la confezione, in stile noctua, con 10 panni umidi inclusi per pulire cpu e dissipatore.

5.0 out of 5 stars It Works!
Verified PurchaseThe 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.
