Luumi Posted January 31 Posted January 31 Up for sale some components I don't really have much use for anymore. 1. Intel Pentium G7400 with AVX-512. My best G7400 that overclocked up to 6.5GHz. You can see my profile for all of the results. Bought this originally from China. Price: 200€ + shipping tentatively SOLD 2. Gigabyte X79-UD7 Been run once on LN2 so minor vaseline around the socket. Misses one CPU pin but works fine otherwise. Can provide some CPU as socket cover or something. Comes as bulk. Price: 120€ + shipping SOLD 3. Foxconn Flaming Blade X58 Bulk motherboard, bought this originally to revive X58 CPUs, but don't have use for this anymore. Will provide CPU as socket cover. Price: 120€ + shipping EU preferred for lower shipping costs, but I can ship anywhere pretty much. Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler 3
Luumi Posted February 2 Author Posted February 2 UD7 tentatively sold, G7400 pending. Flaming Blade still available.
TaPaKaH Posted March 3 Posted March 3 Some boards can be set up to use non-default core counts and/or voltages the first time you insert a CPU. This way you can POST a CPU which would otherwise not POST in another board. You can then run this CPU at low voltages for a while. Sometimes this allows CPUs to recover.
Quiche Posted March 3 Posted March 3 Ok so running it at low voltages but generally not overclocking it back? CPU is still damaged in most cases Need to try it on my Foxconn. Have a "dead" 920

Sometimes this allows CPUs to recover. with these boards you can literally grab some dead 1366 chips, throw them in, pass post once and they will work again in other boards as well. I've done it 2-3 times with DOA Bloomfield chips (I still have no idea how people manage to kill bloomfield), Luumi managed with a couple 32nm ES chips as well iirc. The chips seemed to behave perfectly fine afterwards (had one i7 920 that did 5.3 multicore but still BCLK limited from this trick, core felt good for 5500+ given behavior) 1 1
