That guy who said to always use thermal paste gaskets was wrong

Last month a customer swore I had to use those pre-cut thermal pads on his Ryzen build or I'd void the warranty. I did it his way, temps ran 8 degrees hotter than my usual pea-sized paste method. Has anyone else had a client push a bad tip on you that you just went along with?

Pre-cut pads are actually better for uneven surfaces on some older chips.

Oh man, the thermal pad cult is real. I swear some people think paste is just a scam and we're all out here trying to save two cents per build.
