Consider using a contact frame for your AM5 R5 9600x. It’s generally safe if installed correctly. However, if thermal paste enters the CPU grooves, it could potentially cause damage.

It's secure. Thermal paste remains safe if it reaches the crevices, particularly with non-conductive types.

I chose a contact frame mainly because it feels more secure than the standard latch system, even though it probably won’t affect temperature much. It also stops thermal paste from leaking into the CPU, which is a plus for that high-end processor I’m using.

Considered purchasing one, but it doesn’t appear very practical. Instead, I opted for a CPU “guard plate” to stop paste from spreading... Then tried using a Cryosheet.

However, a few heat pads settled into the groove on my device.

If you're not careful, it might happen, but at least it settled into the rhythm. You can remove the frame and clean it, including the CPU—something you wouldn't want to do if it moves under the heatsink.

It seems unclear what you're asking about. Could you clarify the context or provide more details?

It's true, it would be quite bothersome if it entered the CPU.

I'm securing two units for both my 9800X3D and 9950X to ensure stability, opting for thermal grizzly pads with Noctua NH-D15 G1 and G2 instead of paste. The temperatures are impressively low, and I'm using the thermal grizzly AM5 contact frame to keep my CPUs perfectly aligned and balanced. It's a solid setup for long-term performance.
