I've built over a dozen computers and I still cringe every time I seat a CPU. The thermal paste thing is true too, last one I built I turned it on and the CPU temp jumped to 94c, so that was fucking scary.
Ryzen is Pin Grid Array, like every AMD processor. It felt good to have a processor just slot into place without having to put a concerning amount of pressure on a little lever that hopefully aligns a bunch of little pads.
Once I bent the entire corner of an i7. Bent it back on my desk, has been running fine for years
Also, thermal paste usually comes pre-applied to the heatsink nowadays, no? Unless youre fucking with watercooling, why even bother with your own paste

Just don't bend any pins.
