You have lost the screwdriver for your AMD Threadripper Torx.
Hey everyone, I’m missing the AMD Threadripper Torx screwdriver. What should I do now? Yesterday I finally got my Threadripper 3960x, which was the last piece needed for my build and I was really looking forward to it. That day I found out I received the wrong motherboard—something that needs fixing soon. For the CPU, I chose the Tray-only option because it arrived faster and cost less than 120€, so I went ahead with that. To my surprise, the box feels oddly tight, especially since I have a high-end processor. My main concern is that I won’t have the Torx screwdriver, which could cause issues if I try to install it. Some people have said it’s possible without it, but I don’t want to risk damaging the motherboard pins. Do you have any advice or suggestions? I’m in Switzerland.
I might be unsure, but I can usually locate a solution. However, I worry about damaging the pins on the motherboard if I force it too tight. It seems like many people make this mistake when they try to install something without the proper tools, which can ruin the board.
Currently, the product isn't available for purchase and will not be shipped to you. The main issue right now is that this listing shows as unavailable.
Just posted this as an example. There is likely someone who sells this thing in switzerland aswell.
I'll visit a few stores nearby... This item isn't available for purchase online anywhere.
Torx T20 screwdriver should fit. AMD suggests about 1.5 newton meter or 13.3 in-lb of torque. You might locate a third-party tool with detachable heads that show the torque reading. Essentially, tighten until you feel strong resistance from the CPU pads on the socket pins. Once you hit noticeable pushback, errors may appear and you’ll need to crank it a bit further.
