I still have my dad's old computer jacks for lifting up the computer to flush the memory fluid. Computers aren't built the same they used to be.

The threadripper CPUs actually did come with a torque wrench to tighten down the retention plate.
30 0 ReplyThat is a Torx (a brand name) wrench, not a torque wrench.
Torx is a proprietary driver shape for fasteners.
A torque wrench is a regular wrench but it has a mechanism inside that measures how much torque is applied and clicks when an adjustable threshold is passed, so you know exactly how tight the fastener is.
5 0 ReplyActually, it is a Torx torque wrench. They came with Threadripper CPUs because they had a very specific torque specification. It's why the handle looks so odd.
13 0 ReplyIt's both! I've used one many times before, it does indeed click at a specific torque. It also has a Torx bit in it.
Unfortunately, the bit is glued in there, so neither the bit nor the torque driver can be reused for anything. It's just a wasteful gimmick.
