AMD draw a processor with a frame for flow cooling, but produce it with a lid.

Your question is not clear.

Please provide more information and detail about what you are planning or attempting to do.

Are you able to take and post photographs?

Photographs and screenshots can be posted here via imgur (www.imgur.com > green "New post" icon).

My concern being that the marketing images are being confused with installation/use instructions.
 
The rendered CPU (above) is likely one that would soldered into a laptop's or one of the micro-mini-PC's motherboard socket. It would not be removable once installed.

Desktop CPUs, as others have pointed out, mount differently.

What is the point of this concern?

The frame around the chip is needed to install the processor in the socket.

That's an Intel CPU. Desktop Ryzen are held on all sides and corners. Ryzen H suffix CPUs are meant for portable devices, soldered to MB and likely direct die cooling without IHS. Still don't see what it has to do with with artist's rendered picture of possible innards. That's like comparing comics to photos.
 
But need to reach the minimum temperature to increase the core frequency.
No such thing, only maximum temperature at which it may slow down. Tjmax is published for all CPUs. Unless manually overclocking you would not get 1Hz over with any temperature bellow Tjmax. Only performance related issue my be occasional short temperature peaks over Tjmax that fails to be detected by SW and FW. As that's built into CPU microcode it can't be bypassed by any settings in BIOS.
