Are they accurate enough to trust? Don't want to destroy the board or processor :)

The torque driver thing is kind of bogus anyway, in practice just tighten the screws until they bottom out but don't wail on them and it'll be fine. The ILM has springs which set the clamping force so it's not like you're relying on tiny deformations in the socket mechanism set by the screw torque to make the pads contact.

Wondering how many people damaged systems while testing zen 1 epyc/threadripper engineering samples to force AMD to come up with these torx drivers :D

Been using this for EPYC and Skylake. Had to grab a T30 bit (only for Skylake) because it doesn’t come with one. Also using an extension bit from some DeWalt set. It’s all metal and high quality.

Also- try using TPCM instead of normal heatsink grease. It’s great for handling large server CPUs.
