They seem mixed up. If paste is already applied, a sticker is typically there. Consider how it works—stickers help secure paste, while paste cooler caps stop sticking. Stickers on paste coolers usually block installation, and they protect metal surfaces from damage.
Based on my observations, every stock AMD cooler comes with paste already applied, and it features a plastic shield or cap covering the base.
Hey everyone! So the shi**y cooler isn’t suited for its role. Also, I probably went too far with the B550 Tomahawk for a 5600x rating—I should stop obsessing over VRM specs like that. In my case, it didn’t really help with temps, so maybe skip the Tomahawk next time? Good to see your PING dropped from 7-9 to 6!
