What? 13900k doesn't support AVX512 so no bueno and RPCS3 doesn't give a crap about cache, that's why the 5800x3d isn't particularly good in RPCS3

Eh? Why would you buy just one ram stick? Seems a bit odd, if already spending out on everything it's not gonna cost much more for a kit.. Though prices have gone up on ram since the CPU launch, unless you bought just before.
it will be very significant performance loss, x3d or not
literally half bandwidth, half channels
Noctua is releasing a 'NA-TPG1 thermal paste guard' for AM5 CPUs:

Couldn't AMD just include these (or similar) with each 7000 series CPU?

Noctua presents NA-TPG1 thermal paste guard for AMD AM5 Vienna, October 6th 2022 – Noctua today announced its new NA-TPG1 thermal paste guard for AMD’s latest AM5 based Ryzen processors. When the mounting pressure of the cooling solution is applied, excess thermal paste will be squeezed...

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...

Whats the point? looks like a totally worthless product to me with no benefit other than keeping something you never see "clean" A very odd product indeed.
I thought that thermal paste could get into the cut-out areas around your CPU? On the other hand, if you only apply a small amount in the centre of the IHS, maybe it's not needed? We don't know cause AMD haven't discussed it

I mean if thermal paste does get into the cut outs then what is the implication? 99.9% of thermal paste is non conductive electrically so other than a bit of paste might get in the cut out what problem is the product actually fixing?

Not should, does have zero risk. Obviously liquid metal etc would need more care.

Those SMD's are also covered in glue so there is no chance of a short.
IMO the Thermal Compound Guard is not a terrible idea, but unlike some other CPU socket accessaries its really not needed, but for convinience if you change the cooler a lot and like to keep a tidy IHS? Sure why not...
Its like somebody saw that intel have this bracket for lga1700 (which does actually fix a contact issue with the socket) and decided you know what lets make something for AMD just because.
Good to know.

Accessorising your CPU socket is the fashion now isn't it? Thanks Intel
Its utter madness. The worst part, people will actually buy this thinking it fixes some sort of problem.

Pffftt, TIM Shield?

What would actually be useful, for both AMD and Intel, is something that allowed you to mount any cooler safely direct to die.
