Protezione per pasta termica Noctua NA-STPG1 trasparente socket AM5

The Noctua NA-STPG1 Transparent Socket AM5 thermal paste guard is designed to prevent excess thermal paste from accumulating in the cut-outs of AM5 CPU heatspreaders during cooler installation. Made to be simple and safe to use, the guard directs squeezed-out paste away from hard-to-clean recesses and helps keep the processor surface tidy. The set includes ten cleaning wipes to remove any remaining residue after application.

Advantages

The transparent material provides clear visibility for precise application of thermal paste, reducing the risk of paste entering the heatspreader cut-outs. Its simple fit and removal process requires no special tools and minimizes contact with the IHS. Including cleaning wipes in the set allows for immediate and safe cleanup of excess paste.

Suitable for

• AMD Socket AM5 processors
• System builders and PC technicians performing thermal interface application
• Users who want to avoid paste accumulation in heatspreader cut-outs

Key specifications

• Material: transparent protective plastic
• Compatibility: designed specifically for Socket AM5 CPU heatspreaders
• Contents: thermal paste guard plus ten cleaning wipes
• Purpose: prevents excess thermal paste from collecting in IHS cut-outs

How to use

Place the NA-STPG1 over the processor heatspreader before applying the thermal paste, ensuring the guard fits the heatspreader contours. Apply the thermal paste and mount the cooling solution as usual; excess paste will be directed outward by the guard. After mounting, remove the guard and use the included NA-CW1 wipes to clean any remaining residue from the heatspreader and surrounding area.

Recommendations

Use the guard only with compatible Socket AM5 CPUs and remove it before final inspection of the heatspreader surface. Dispose of used cleaning wipes according to local waste regulations and avoid excessive force when fitting or removing the guard to prevent marks on the heatspreader.
