[FS] everything I own

[TaPaKaH]

I decided that I do not want to do this hobby anymore, so I am selling all hardware I accumulated since starting in early 2000s.

I will not entertain any offers on individual items.
Money is not my primary goal when making this sale. I want to see everything gone down to the very last tube of thermal paste and the only way I can achieve this is selling everything in one go. Besides, I do not want to leave any loose ends and/or having to deal with multiple transactions at once.
If you don't wish and/or can't afford all the contents of this thread, you might as well go away.

Here is a mandatory picture that should include nearly all of the items:

In the coming days I will go through my file storage and add screenshot hyperlinks for each result listed below.

  My DDR3 binning board. ES with generic heatsink and slightly different PCB layout. Vaselined, but at least it can handle PSC full pot.
• 1366 ASUS Rampage III Formula

Sure. 4000€ for 3 sticks and you get the rest for free.

Sad to see this.

You will be missed.

We started the same time back in late 2006-early 2007 and also sad to see this , its a hard decision!

[SparkysAdventure]

What made you decide to leave overclocking as a hobby? If you're comfortable with sharing.

[Luumi]

Truly unique pack, any rough ideas on way to ship and could discuss further @TaPaKaH

[TerraRaptor]

Sad news. Hope you will make public all your backup scores to inspire both old men and newcomers. 

Good luck with sale! 

PS. Не прощаюсь! И удачи во всех начинаниях!

Definitely more sad to see you go than I am excited to see such hardware available. And I was even looking for some of that.

There is no "good stuff" that I intend to keep. Nor is/was there any hardware that changed hands prior to publishing this thread.

Good luck on your new endavours Semjon, another icon leaves the room

Beer team gathers in Thailand.

It appears that the stuff has been spoken for and will be delivered to its new owner on 30 August. Will make sure that the handover "ceremony" involves a decent amount of beer

For those interested, here are the reasons why I have finally decided to let go:

• Even after doing it for 15+ years, I am still able to find motivation to throw an enormous amount of time and money at this hobby. With the amount of hardware that I go through, I must spend pretty much every single minute of my time doing some form of binning / testing, otherwise I drown in stuff that is dead money.
  
  I recently started to notice that this amount of time started interfering with things like work (hooray for unsupervised Corona working-from-home) and self development. Given that I'll be turning 30 at the end of September, I thought it's an appropriate moment to pull a cold turkey and get myself rid of this harmful addiction.
   
• Quite frankly, the hobby became a plain battle of resources. With the level of socket 775 CPU's that I am at, my most important resource are X48 motherboards, which are difficult to find, let alone for a reasonable price. With the amount of people searching these on German marketplaces, you either have to message the seller within the first 10 minutes or offer a price that is well into triple digits to even stand a chance of ever getting a reply.
  
  What makes the situation worse, is the extremely poor build quality of Rampage Extremes (aka by far the most commonly sold X48 board). After losing my entire stock (4 pcs) over a short timespan (2-3 weeks) without doing anything even remotely dangerous (and it wouldn't be my first similar occurrence), I got simply too pissed with the whole situation and decided to call it a day. So, "Many thanks to ASUS", I guess.

Sad to see you leave . Hope asus gets similar burial @2minutes ;  

 

[ozzie]

really sad to see you leave tapa, but after reading your explanation i can understand the frustration you would be feeling , not on the same scale as you have but we all have felt similar at times, as you said youre only 30, you have much life ahead of you so go live it how you wish to, we all only get 1 go at it, if you feel the urge im sure you will have a dabble here and there and have a few thing saved to be able to do that , thank for your knowledge and experience youve freely shared over the years...........go for it man ??

Sad to see you go Sam. Hopefully you will at least stick around to teach us newcomes a thing or two, even if you don't bench anymore!
