Apologies Michael, is that 4200 / 12-11 / tight at 2.04V on Apex X ? The eyes of a 59 year old dude can't see clearly Original box included ? Any test for copy waza ( not detrimental ). I take these if you verify what I can't clearly see ( with my thick eye glasses ). Best, George

Very nice indeed :) I9-9900K is flying.

Thanks guys. George ( Nachtfalke ) is sending out the unit soon. It will be a good test for this enormous ( GORGEOUS ) 2 Hp SS unit on this interesting Cpu. Bought randomly from a respected member here brand new at a fraction of the price sold in shops ( <1K ). Showed true potential from the very start, running Cinebench R15 and Wprime 1024 at 4.7ghz with 1.16V on the core and 1.10V on mesh at 3ghz. It is delidded of course and has a pretty interesting IMC - tried once 4k on my Galax Goc 2016 mem set 12-12-12-28-250-1T with tight as hell seconds and thirds and 1.88V on the mems with only 1.2VccIO and 1.2VccSa and 2.00V on the input at 5ghz ( !!! ). The f*cking thing did not raise an eyebrow, lol. Don't want to really push without cold. Thanks for the nice words, We shall see

Outstanding as usual :)

Thank you ! Will advise as soon as I am ready to pay. To be posted to 57019 - Thessaloniki - Greece. George

I will take the cpu. Pm

Far from true. More in W9 forums. This thread is an SS unit. Not a place to discuss such things

Well Shane, if HWBOT decides ever to lift my 12 months ban, imposed on me August 2017, I would re-ignite my benching passion. I have kindly asked since August 2018 for the ban to be ended ( lifted ) but have got no reply. Who knows ??? LOL

Good morning sir, I am kindly asking for a reserve until Tuesday 23/10/2018. I wish to buy this DIAMOND UNIT, but can't commit NOW to this purchase. Thank you, All the best, George

A gentleman's reaction. Wish all sellers behaved liked that. I have personally lost more than 2000 Euros in my 6 years stay here

Free bump for one of the greatest guys around and outstanding seller. Buy with confidence folks, it doesn't get any better. UP

Buying untested is like diving in a pool ( blindfolded ), without knowing if there is even water in the pool. No comments on the seller's attitude. People, learn to pay with PayPal - NOT FRIENDS AND FAMILY. PAY THE DAMN FEES. When money changes hands, all minds should rest assured that nothing will go wrong. Seller does not accept this method of payment ? DONT BUY.

Thread can be closed. No longer interested in acquiring a second card. Thank you for the space HWBOT.

Indeed But my eye caught a detail, which guided me to the pci slots. When I removed the VGA, board started and eventually stopped not seeing any VGA. Put back the VGA and did not start. Was it dirt that built up in the first pci slot ? BTW, it is not the only APEX VI that I had issues with. On another one, I had to replace two bulged capacitors to get it going again. Hard to believe that 500 Euros boards MIGHT have quality issues.

I recently had a similar ( almost identical issue ) with an Asus Rampage VI ( X299 ). Drove me nuts actually. My case was even worse. Left the board over night, morning it booted. After 5-10 minutes the board shut down. Nope, no reboot. Actually it would not even turn on. Tried a lot more than you did Finally, before throwing the board in the garbage bin, took a big breath and : 1) Removed EVERYTHING from the board, including the hatch that holds the cpu in the socket and the backplate. 2) Cleaned thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol. 3) Cleaned the pins of the socket ( many many times ) with an extremely tiny and soft brush with isopropyl alcohol. 4) Cleaned with the same brush all ram slots. Result - NOPE. Rest, smoke, think... Cleaned with same brush all ( ALL ) PCI slots. Bam ! Has been working for 10 days now, no issue. What was the problem ??? NO CLUE. Some ghost or bad devil's spirit was there and I removed it, lol.

To the seller Please note that you must exclude Europe from your potential target group of buyers. There are very heavy import taxes from anywhere in the World, if the item is coming from outside of the European Union. Just trying to help.

I am trying to approach this rare diamond, balancing myself between enthusiasm and logic. So, I have a few questions for the seller and manufacturer. 1) Would a dedicated 40amp line be sufficient for the operation of the unit ? 2) What are the service intervals required for keeping the unit in TOP condition ? 3) Since you clearly stated that you are quitting the field of OC and also the field of manufacturing SS units and cascades, what happens with after sales support-service ? Thanks

Right after you my friend 110% sure that your collection will make mine look like a poor relative, lol

Having already acquired from @aerotracks a superb sample ( actually new ), I am looking for a second one, in similar condition ( although I can't imagine that an almost new card can be found ). ASIC should be at least above 75. Original box would be a plus, but no deal breaker if it does not exist. Mint condition is the least I am asking for. Thank you.

For a reason - LMAO

Come on brother Give the kid a break, lol... Dreaming does not cost anything.
