Why does nobody mention thermal paste pump-out on newer CPUs

Had a customer's Ryzen 7000 chip hit 95C at idle last week, and after repasting three times I finally figured out the paste was migrating off the die. Check your mount pressure and use a thicker paste if you're seeing weird temp spikes on these AM5 boards, has anyone else run into this?

Three repastes before figuring it out, @robin489 must love your patience with thermal paste.

That 95C at idle sounds more like a bad mount than paste pump-out honestly.
