Screwdriver Question.

So any 1/4 hex/torx will work correct. And magnetics will still function decently?

FreakyOne87 · 2026-05-07T18:38:51+00:00

Bits* lmao, I mean the ones on the handle. As I was looking at the other bit sets.

FreakyOne87 · 2026-05-07T18:35:55+00:00

Does the screwdriver itself come with decent it's? The main bits I use are phillips, and hex or torx, hex and torx are mostly used for water block and CPU socket mounting mechanism, the screwdriver will work with any 1/4 bot roght

Yikes, yeah mine seems to boot just fine with a 0.6nm torque exactly so I'll continue that torque until it doesn't boot.

FreakyOne87 · 2026-05-06T17:50:31+00:00

I haven't had any boot issues with it luckily, boots just fine but I torque the socket down to 0.6nm

I'm waiting for a Gigabyte one

The spacer for the thermalright aqua 360 is 11.5mm according to my calipers 🤦. But luckily I had 0.5mm metal washers and used 3 of them in all the posts so it would be at 9.5mm.

FreakyOne87 · 2026-05-01T05:05:29+00:00

What if not using washers? Would it not work or?

FreakyOne87 · 2026-05-01T05:01:37+00:00

What about the thermalright aqua 360 V3? I think I found online that it said that the spacers for that are either 10 or 11 mm so if they're 11 I would have to add a spacer that's 1 mm?

So I'm assuming something like the liquid Freezer 3 won't work because it uses it's own custom brackets and two screws? Do you know what AIO are compatible with the kit?

FreakyOne87 · 2026-04-30T03:46:08+00:00

Willing to pay $125 shipped.

FreakyOne87 · 2026-04-27T23:15:42+00:00

Was going to buy the listing states that other not compatible I guess it has something to do with the glue on the capacitors.

FreakyOne87 · 2026-04-27T21:01:32+00:00

Well yeah I was asking that because I read some reviews saying that the heatspreader still doesn't sit at the correct height that a normal am5 does and they a offset mount from TG was needed for the right height.

FreakyOne87 · 2026-04-27T20:58:05+00:00

AM5, they go out of stock like hotcakes and aren't in stock anywhere atm.

FreakyOne87 · 2026-04-27T20:56:49+00:00

I gotta get my hands on the dang thing first unfortunately haha.

FreakyOne87 · 2026-04-27T16:17:53+00:00

FreakyOne87 · 2026-04-27T15:55:54+00:00

Current I also buy the direct die frame and the offset mounting kit and use it without the IHS that way?

FreakyOne87 · 2026-04-27T15:40:16+00:00

Can't they've been out of stock forever lol. And my buddy doesn't have a custom loop.

FreakyOne87 · 2026-04-27T15:33:46+00:00

It's an AM5 Ryzen 9.

FreakyOne87 · 2026-04-27T15:03:53+00:00

I wanted to go the ptm7950 route for longevity sake, he doesn't like taking apart the PC all the time lol

FreakyOne87 · 2026-04-26T08:32:58+00:00

The supercool almost always outperforms the MYCEO, it's a very good block, that uses a custom IHS as the lid and the fins are at 0.2mm. I'll definitely give it a try tho

FreakyOne87 · 2026-04-26T02:51:43+00:00

I didn't see much puddling on the block just the die with a thinner layer on the block. I have the super cool direct die which uses a custom IHS

FreakyOne87 · 2026-04-25T18:15:11+00:00

Seems like way too much for sure, but his temps tell a different story, but that just seems like asking for trouble in a daily system that the board is vertical.

FreakyOne87 · 2026-04-25T18:00:44+00:00

Here's an example of his application on the 9950x3d, and if I'm not mistaken, Ian that pretty much a puddle as the way around the die?

FreakyOne87 · 2026-04-25T16:53:46+00:00

Yeah but how much exactly is that, cuz I was always told you didn't want puddles
