Too naked!!! Fuzz it out a bit!!

Not bothered, like liquid metal ING laptops and GPU's Isn't worse.
Liquid metal is the devil with no cotton buds on the wrong place.

That shit's lit. Wish we still got some of these themed cases....

Man, how on earth have they managed not to destroy intel CPUs for the last 15 years? They're full of paste pockets!

Are they, you sure it's 15 yrs? never saw that on my Rocket Lake setup.

I have never been one to just blob paste and mount the plate, I have always preferred to spread the paste evenly without excess dripping all over the place.

I wonder if it Will suffer from uneven pressure like Intel's gen12.

LGA 775 came out in 2004. So it's actually 18 years!

If AMD has any sense they'll have reinforcement to prevent that exact issue.

Squarer socket & ILM less prone to flex vs LGA1700. Crenulated IHS is thicker & more uniform contact to substrate.

You aren't and generally shouldn't be if you are not using a liquid metal pastes as they are electrically conductive. You don't want such a paste in those pockets.
So being concerned about it is not really unfounded. In any case if you are not using the extreme TIM pastes (liquid metal ones) you shouldn't worry too much even if some paste spills in those pockets.

Almost no one uses LM.
Anyone who uses LM already knows to cover those up with nail polish.

Oh no people will have to grow up and stop plopping half a tube of paste on the CPU

And that is usually the best way to do it. Also it takes the most amount of time to do. But if you want to do things right, you do it that way, hands down.

Careful with your paste, I guess.

hahaha correct

I recently tried the spread method for the first time after so many years of doing the X.

AMD literally manufactured a microaggression.

I immediately thought of this:

Why spider platform, the CPU looks more like a turtle, so they can introduce new "platform" ;-)

i guess it could use special silicone inserts to fill the gaps. is passive ventilation really needed.

All stressed CPU must vent. Otherwise they will simply... smoke out.

There's empty space for SMD LED, please make first RGB CPU AMD!

Been using this technique since first time I built a computer, and not gonna change ever.

+1 here too, I do this to all the computers and even showed this to several people and never had an issue with this.

How is it better thermal management, when it's not contacting the CPU cooler?

Obviously better airflow in compare to having those capacitors under the chip, and isolated in the center.

That assuming air coolers. If water blocks are used it would be advantageous so direct some airflow to the area, but that also depends on the vrm cooling scheme/
