I will be using this cooler (pitty 360 is still non-existent in europe) with ryzen 3900x - which is quite large and from what I measured the aforementioned screws will be either adjacent to the lid's edges or slightly on the lid (depending on bracket rotation).

    No issues. Works fine, just a pain to clean off once applied. I have a CLC 280 and I have applied thermal grizzly conductonaut to my processor with it on... it's sufficient if you are not looking to build a custom loop.

    No..Although it will slightly stain copper, that will have no impact on the thermal conductivity.
     
    See the Conductonaut Page and the FAQs and Downloads..It takes an extremely small amount applied to the contact areas of both surfaces..Avoid puddling.
