im pretty sure putting a material onto a cpu encloses it = increases heat? if im wrong please correct me

AMD placed all the little transistors capacitors thingys outside of the headspreader for a reason. ;) Hint: overheating.

Pretty sure there are quite some dumbnuts who buy the frame, slap it on without reading the manual, just leave it on & kill their CPU's.

C'mon guys, give me a break! You can't be serious... Neither of you... Those are capacitors, not meant to dissipate heat. Also meant to take 120°C operating temp. And the IHS is not designed to dissipate heat sideways outside of the holes. There are absolutely no air moving there and let's hope there will never move any water...

If there's any negative impact of this thermally it is in the unmeasurable range.

This is a nice help to anyone who ever had to clean his CPU. And considering custom loop watercooling, it has a fair price too.

Test it then. I would love to see any changes in the thermals if any!

No, these are the capacitors that on an Intel CPU would normally be on the back of the CPU and inside the LGA socket where they get cooked by the back of the CPU and get no airflow at all. AMD went for such a high pin count and also tried to maintain compatibility with AM4 coolers by keeping the size similar to AM4 so there's no room to put them anywhere else. These SMD caps really don't need cooling and some of them are under the IHS just baking in the heat produced by the dies. SMD tantalum capacitors are made to handle 125C - 200C+ temperatures.

Putting material onto the part of a CPU that has no airflow and doesn't contact the cooler isn't going to increase CPU temps.
