Years ago, I bought a thread ripper, and the Alan key for installing it was defective and did not click. So, I wrote Jay an email about his video on it, and he took the video down. He never responded to me, though.
I understand. It was just a funny response. I had to buy a new key on ebay to not blow like $2k.
i had neither the clicky thing nor the tray for my 2 epyc systems
. i hand set both and tightened until good enough :D:D:D
I never even knew the Threadripper included Torx driver had a built in torque wrench function pre-set to the proper tightening torque. So that’s a new one to me, I do not recall mine ever clicking so I guess I either never tightened it enough or mine was defective too. I just looked it up and the included key is indeed supposed to have a torque wrench function built in to indicate enough torque 
I’m really having to hold back from abusing my title editing powers from changing it in
“Wow, jay2cents EXPOSED, is this PROOF he is a GRIFTER?”
Gotta up your clickbait game man

I had 2 gen1 threadriopers, both in retail packaging, both came with working torq wrenches (1.5newtonmeteres, iirc)
A friend got an arm chip, maybe amprere? And the didn’t come with a torq wrench, but the system board it needed, recommended the same torq as the wrencehs, and had the same torx bittng for its screws
Feels like the kind of thing the motherboard should come with, rather than the CPU.
Anyone else got a retail unit, with working- or not-working or even no wrench?
My EPYC CPU’s never came with them (but I did buy them decommissioned from enterprise servers.)
I had three torque drivers from my Threadrippers, so I just used those, and they worked fine for the EPYC’s
I just hand tightened my Epyc using a standard torq screw drive. It still works.
i just yolo’d it. one of them i coming up to 500 days of uptime, i love kpatch
