    Hey, sure, I asked a big computer museum (they had told me a while back they may have plans for a graphics cards exhibit and might want some). I just checked and as soon as I get the reply I can sell them here, if that's ok for you. :)

    Here you go :)

    These are only AGP 4X and 8X, never tested the 2X cards I still have laying around (mostly ATi Rage, one Intel i740..)

    Green means sold, grey means defective. The numbers on the right are benchmark scores (3D Mark 01, 03, 05, 06).

    Hey guys,

    I wanna get rid of some of the hardware that's just laying around at my place. I live in Germany. For shipping costs to your specific country, just ask me. Shipping worldwide possible.

     

    AGP cards and most PCI-E cards including the ones listed below are sold

     

    MSI GTX780 Ti Lightning

    This is the first, very rare revision without the OC panel. Basically a 780 (non-TI) Lightning PCB with a very carefully binned 780Ti chip on there. 12 cards were made worldwide and maybe half of them are working, so this is as rare is it gets.

    My sample is in prime condition, was never benched or insulated and even the protective foil on the back is still on :) I used it 24/7 for gaming for about a year now, it works perfectly without errors or constraints of any kind. Always with watercooling.

    Overclocking: The chip is very temperature reliant. With air cooling around 1250MHz is possible, with water cooling easily 1330MHz (each without voltage increase). By fiddling with AUX voltage I could game with 1370MHz@1,15V.

    As this is probably going to an extreme overclocker: I can't guarantee it's absolutely safe to bench this card as it's a prototype PCB design and was never given into production/retail market. I would advise the buyer to keep the voltage below 1,4V to be safe, or, when extreme benching, to use an EVGA EPower straightaway.

    Comes with original packaging and accessories such as a LN2 heatsink, certificate of authenticity and so on. Card itself has a frontplate, backplate and a massive air heatsink on it.

     

    650 euros + shipping to your respective country worldwide.

    Asus GTX 260 Matrix 216SP - pending Payment from Perica_barii

    Insulated with liquid tape and rubber eraser, benched it once with single stage. Here's the result. This was with gentle voltage (1,3V or something) and there might be more in it, especially with more cold. Complete software control possible with Asus iTracker.

    40 euros shipped in Germany.

    MSI GTX 260 Lightning Black Edition 216SP 1792MB - pending Payment from Perica_barii

    Also insulated with liquid tape, benched once with dice and nearly hit 1GHz. Complete with packaging, 5,25" OC Panel and accessories. Had to improvise on two screws a little because the threads were broken, but it works perfectly as it is. Also with Memory voltmod prepared but disconnected atm.

    55 euros shipped in Germany.

    Gigabyte GTX580 SOC - Payment received and shipped

    Sell it as defective, got it from a friend who tinkled with the BIOS and in the end the card was stable at 950MHz ingame, but produced artifacts when idle. Now the screen just stays black. Dunno, maybe blind-flash it or build a zombie with the PCB? Condition -> see pictures.

    Update: The card gets recognized by windows and the drivers install without problems when you install it as second card. Maybe a candidate for sli then?

    25 euros shipped in Germany

    2x2GB Mushkin Redline 1600 CL6-8-6-24

    Not much to say, never really tested them, should still be decent ram for 775/1156 or just for 24/7 usage. Coming in original package.

    25 euros

     

    Asus Maximus IV Extreme P67

    Also defective: A friend had the interesting idea of shoving a memory module in the wrong way - board came back from RMA unrepaired. I managed to repair the damage (on conductor path and one condensator) and it starts. I even had it running a few weeks after that. Then my (very abused) CPU died and now there seems to be a software problem with it (firmware of some ROG chip I think). If someone's seriously interested, I can take a photo.

    Comes with box and accessories.

    25 euros

     

     

    3x Silverstone FM81 (80mm)

    These are adjustable between 1300 and 5500 rpm. Either as a normal casefan or if you want to fly to the moon on them.

    4 euros each (+shipping)

    p1010016tokbn.jpg

     

     

    4x Papst 8412 (80mm)

    Reliable papst fans with ~2000 rpm and "okay" noise.

    4 euros each (+shipping)

    p1010017sfj0g.jpg

     

     

    4x Silverstone 80mm

    ~1500 rpm. 3 pin connector.

    3 euros each (+shipping)

    p1010017sfj0g.jpg

     

    Asus Commando

    Another old beauty, never had the heart to liquid tape it, so it's unbenched and just laying around. Just the board, no box. Fully functional except the LCD poster, you can't really recognize the codes anymore.

    Comes with a Pentium 4 for socket protection.

    50 euros

     

    775 CPUs

    These are binned on my REX with regular air cooling, 1,45V vCore and had to do a SuperPi 1M run with the fsb.

     

    6x E6300:

    below 500FSB: 3 euros each

    525 FSB: 5 euros

    535 FSB: 6 euros

    540 FSB: 6 euros

     

    Q6600: untested, average clocker at air, never tested as I still have a very good one here. 25 euros

     

     

    Also i have TONS of old AGP cards and stuff, just ask me if you're interested in something specific. :)

    Edit: A museum showed some interest in this list, but unfortunately their hardware guy is on vacation for two more weeks. I'm still gonna wait for their response before selling them here, hope you understand :)

     

    Adding more hardware (DFI X38-T2RS, DDR2 mem, CPUs, maybe some retro hardware) in the next days, just check the thread now and then :) If you are strongly interested in something of that list, just PM me and we will figure something out.

    You know you benched too much when...

    When you realize that all the hardware you own is worth a quite expensive car (which is why I'm going to sell some hardware soon haha ugly.gif)

     

    Indeed. Car enthusiasts (or car enthusiast-wannabes) know the value of this. Buying hardware is not that a bad use of your money though, as long as you keep brushing your teeth. Member of the family had a 25k€ dentists bill, you can get a >30000km Maserati for that...

     

    @Thread: You know you've benched too much when you get high on the smell of liquid electrical tape on a daily basis

    Asus REX NB voltage too low?

    in General overclocking

    Posted · Edited by Masterchief79

    Well topic can be closed already. The inductor had both solder legs ripped off but I managed to somehow get some solder on there and fix it. I hope this will last for a few weeks. I have a defective R2E at home, where I can hopefully take a working inductor from and permanently replace this one. :)

    After soldering NB voltage up to 1,37V again.

    // Btw, I'm guessing it broke again because I used to much force when mounting my SS. The surface pressure mustve bent the board a little and broken the solder pad.

    Asus REX NB voltage too low?

    Hi guys,

    I have had a Asus REX X48 for a few years now. I got it defective, but could repair it (a northbridge coil had fallen off). I soldered it back on and could happily bench the board with 630 FSB @ LN2.

     

    Now however, there seems to be another problem, and maybe you can help me to figure out what could be wrong. The board wouldn't boot unless I would apply pressure onto the CPU cooler (pressing it down). Then it booted perfectly :o

    I unmounted the coolers now and measured the NB voltage, which was only at 0,8V. I resoldered the old broken coil and the board booted a few times. I still have the problem though. When booting the board, sometimes the NB only gets 0,8V and it doesn't boot. Do you think it could be a software bug? Maybe this is a known issue and can be solved by BIOS update?

    I know there are some REX gurus out there, so bring it on :)

    Work on 2900xt vt1165m

    Got the eVc yesterday and tried it out. Works perfectly on my 2900XT Zombie. Was a little difficult to find SD and SC soldering points, but I got it working. "Generic VT1165MF" applies the voltage correctly.

    Aw that sucks, thanks for your information though.

    I'm just gonna try this with my 8600GT, it's an okay card, could already run 1000/2160/1170 at water cooling. Shader need more cold to go higher. If it has Coldbug issues, that wouldn't be too bad, I wanted to zombify it anway. Cold Slow Bug would suck though. But I'm gonna think of something :P

    Actually I already planned to use a copper plate, to protect the die from damage. I could also use Dice and keep it at ca. -20°C if it doesn't like lower temps. Will report back when I have any results ;)

     

    Update: Put SS on my 8600GT (VRM etc. completely stock, just voltmod for GPU and Mem). Have -36°C at evaporator at the moment, boots without problems, first 3D Mark test also good performance.

    Update2: So card ran really well, I had GPU temperaturs of -30°C at 1,6V and full load. I then actually made a really dumb mistake and killed the card :( because I tried to raise the GPU voltage on the variable resistor which was actually the one for memory >.< So that's fried. Burned my fingers on one of the Mem chips, too, felt like a soldering iron, mustve been at least 150°C 10s after switching the PC on :D

    Ah ok really interesting. I made a zombie out of a 2900XT which should be a decent VRM for stuff like midrange cards, but I guess I'm out of luck for 9600GT then. Still have tons of other cards to try it on, so I'm not too sad :D

    Just really good to know this cold slow bug thing, I was disappointed already cause my SS+VGA constructions never work..^^

    // Oh yea and before I proceed now and insulate my 8600GT, does this bug occur on G84 chips too? :D
