Not really a lot it can do rapidly enough if there's only thermal paste on half the CPU.

It sounds like the user likely did the opposite of the "offset seating" of the heatsink that Noctua recommended.

There thermal paste on the whole CPU in TFA, it's just thinner on one side because there was more pressure there. Or are you looking at the pic of the heat sink, which is larger than the CPU heat spreader and thus only partially covered by paste?
