Overview

I'm in a unique situation that allows me to get new hardware or obscure revisions of some models at a cheaper than usual price.

I accept BTC. :D

CPU

i3 Series
6300 - $145

i5 Series
4590S - $185
4690k - $230
6500 - $190
*6500 is notable for being nice to overclock using ASROCK MOBO
6600k - $235

i7 Series
4790 - $280
4790k - $315
5820k - $345
6700k - $350
67XXk SAMPLE - 300$
6800k - $425

Xeon

E5 2650 - $1,115

AMD

A8-7600 OEM CPU - 75$
* It is an OEM CPU and was never publicly sold; it sports an R7 but w/ 300ish shaders where the A10 is highly superior having around 500 I guess


Refurbished CPU

Coming soon....

The above CPUs are slightly more expensive than what you would find used on eBay or Amazon, but they are actually new unused units.

They are shipped from the US and a tracking number will be provided for them.

I'm a case by case guy so orders, shipping will be handled on a case by case basis.

Other

If anybody has special requests for hardware also, please let me know and I can give you a quote.

Ethics

- If your product is not in stock and cannot be shipped within two days you will receive a refund, unless you don't care and don't mind waiting.

Still selling :D

Stock is a non-issue generally, send a PM if interested

Do you accept escrow from the forum?

Is the 6770K just a 6700K with well, some beefier iGPU, or is it just a 6700K? I need to get off my A10-7850K, but I've gotta wait for some money to come in anyway.


This.

correct me if im wrong but i dont think theres any 6770k intel processor, not yet at least?

Yes, beyond that I also accept PayPal and things like this too.

I'm actually a rather experienced merchant on other venues; so other platforms are ok too.

Even my BTC sales will come with a tracking number :D

-----------

Edit: Also the 6700k is stronger than the 7850K but only when using DDR4-3000+ RAM.

DDR4-2100 which is entry level won't be fast enough and in that scenario you can expect things like Fallout 4 to literally run at 4 FPS as it is especially not optimized.

To take advantage of the HD530 you will also need a strong MOBO and a SSD at minimum; at maximum M.2 storage is preferred because it is so much faster.

Really, an i5 is essentially the same thing as an i7, because most games are not optimized to use more than 4 cores the hyper-threading of an i7 won't really bring many benefits at all.

In some usage scenarios, the i5 has shown to be stronger than the i7 especially when Overclocked on an ASROCK MOBO but this disables C-states and also kills the iGPU which seems to be a selling point for you.

An i5 with fast RAM and a good MOBO backed by some form of SSD will be enough; and in reality you could even get away with using an i3.

The most important thing ever when building around an intel iGPU is for the data-transfer speed to be very fucking fast; if you can meet that then it will beat a 7850K by a pretty big margin

There is:

http://ark.intel.com/products/88195/Intel-Core-i7-6700K-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-4_20-GHz

It is just not readily available in some regions. :>

6700k is a broad name for CPUs that share an arch there is for example internal 67XXk

The ones I have at this price are from the SAMPLE production batch, they are new but when run through the intel diagnostic tool will read as SAMPLE

I can get the normal 6700k too for basically the same price; but I thought there was charm in rarity

TLDR:

DDR4-3000 is assumed.

i7-6770k (8 fake cores, does not benefit gaming) > i5-6600k (4 real cores) >> i3-6XXX (4 fake cores, does benefit gaming >>>>>>>>>>> Pentium G has 2 cores which breaks some games

Edit: Some of the i5s are i7's with Hyper-Threading disabled because of errors pertaining to HT operations, such as with more than 6 cores the CPU can no longer divide by 2000.

All the lower-end IPC models are made with the defective parts of the higher-end production models. :(

Hi,

Which versions of:

Xeon

E5 2650 - $1,115

are you selling?

thanks!

Intel Xeon E5-2650 V3 2.3GHz LGA 2011-V3

But to be totally real with you It would be more prudent to use a 3rd/4th generation Hexacore CPU, price-wise anyway.

You could build a box with similar workstation power for 25% of the cost of that CPU

do you sell any of those you mentioned and at what price?
do you have model #'s?

thanks!

Ok, for you:

I'm assuming then you need HW that can handle large equations, so everything I tell you will be based on that assumption. :x

I'm also working under the assumption you need a CPU that will not bottleneck the GPU.

If you want to do it on the cheap, OCing the Non-K Skylakes is a very viable option.

Under OverClocking his way, The Pentium G and i3 are the same, and the i5 and i7 are the same as there is no hyper-threading and only physical cores matter.

I could suggest you a CPU that will cost a million dollars or whatever but in this case if the goal is to have a CPU that won't bottleneck a next-gen GPU.... If it's to do this for cheap money.

Use a Pentium G4400 and overclock it to 4.5, which is very safe; use a Noctua fan.

Use uh, greater than DDR4-2100 and a traditional SATA III SSD is ok although M.2 is ideal but pricey.

If you use a CPU for math-based operations then the i5-6500 is enough.

If you have no intention to get into overclocking, then an i3-6300 is enough probably.

For older-generations, the i7-3770k is in some ways stronger than the current skylake i7s as it is a hexa-core CPU, so this is a viable option at like 250$ too

http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-6700K-vs-Intel-Core-i7-3770K/3502vs1317

The 'Workstation Score' is what to care about for things like BTC mining, etc.

My i5-6500 has a score of around 70 when OC'd, 70 is truly enough to even do things like source-build OSs with minimal system slowdown.

Anything higher needs more physical cores, a lot of applications are not even coded to take advantage of greater than 4 cores lol :X

Most games for example only use 2 cores even now

Have a few, also have many OEM motherboards too.

How much were you looking to spend and do you have any size preference?

I mean realistically I can get you a brand new one for 145$-250$ depending on the feature-set.

As you're aware these kind of boards are quite expensive, however I do have many proto-type models so If you'd be kind enough to tell me a bit about your needs I'll be able to compile a nice list for you.

One question is are you intending to use a board that supports multiple CPUs and so on, because if so things could get pricey.

To be totally upfront even 300$ will go further through me than any other person probably; I have a direct line to an incredibly large amount of hardware.

Some of the HW I can acquire is made by companies most folks in the US have not heard.

IF you choose to go that route, the price of everything is obviously a lot cheaper.

And if you're curious yes, I can get GPUs that are the same.

Really, any kind of HW within reason is obtainable, just tell me what you need and the uses and I'll give you a list of things categorized by price.

I make probably under 10$ sale, on mostly all items.

I'm really not in it to profiteer off single sales; my belief is that if I move a lot of volume this will compensate for the low profit per item.

I can get used/refurbished OEM parts that are in good working condition too; but newer parts are not that much more expensive however I'll leave the determination up to you.

But when I quote things I always assume the person wants new hardware and doesn't want to be hit with used shit like myself

I  offer my services for escrow in btc.  my fee is 1%   and .0005 for transactions fees.

If this is acceptable to op and buyers that want to do a btc deal.

If not thats cool to.

I mean I'm always open to Escrow because realistically nobody wants to get fucked including me.

However I'm hoping to someday reach a level of trust where people will just pay me upfront so I don't need to have my loot locked in jail for an extended period of time.

Obviously Escrow is great but I always have been one to complain and having to wait for anything in life.

I'd go as far as to say if people don't make me deal with Escrow I'll give them the hugest fucking discounts possible.

If I don't have to fuck around with Escrow in my life I will slash the price of some things in a significant way.

The less time my money is tied up the more money I can make, so I'm fine to make even 2$ profit on an item if everything on my end is finished in an immediate sense.

Realistically It's almost not worth my time to get 100$+ locked up for however long to profit 10$ but I will do it ANYWAY as a courtesy to people who are not trying to extend a trusting hand in this heavily sketchy space.

But to get my money right away?

I've always been one to hook it up in life.

It's a good time to say something else as well: If you need a piece of HW there is a 80% chance that I will have it and a 100% chance I can acquire it at an incredibly reduced price.

Unlike a lot of people I understand the most money is in doing well and not being a fuckster, I imagine when someone eventually takes the plunge I'll become a very loved member of the boards. :Q

But christ guys, some expensive needs!

I'll offer free consultations in regards to building; if people want but are unsure of how to proceed as well.

And no; just because someone asked about the best HW for a purpose it doesn't mean I expect for them to buy shit off me

I just think it makes the thread more interesting; and it's cool to deal with someone selling things like this who understands the HW beyond "The shit looks new" and "I made X amount of money"

I'll package things with a level of care beyond 90% of people, where your shit may arrive broken on arrival.

Honestly I'm pretty sure none of the shit I ship will break, It's literally never happened over the course of like 3-4 years now

Your 6800K is not much cheaper than a NEW one from newegg for example. You sell yours for $425 USD, yet I found it on newegg canada for $423 USD.

I've always said you can tell when someone isn't trying to do business by how much they haggle.

Here's a good question for you: Do you think I'm going to match that price and wait like a week for over half of 1,000$ to be released to me?

In reality, for the inconvenience of Escrow in my life, It should be higher..

I should raise the price of everything by like 10-20$ because I'm literally tying up 95% of my money to make sub 5% profit per each sale.

Consider the "New-Egg" prices on some NEW items an indication that Intel doesn't have a lot that they can float cheaply yet; the price will obviously go lower over time.

I mean the solution to your problem is really easy; just buy it from NewEgg

You won't need to worry about my prices; I won't need to worry about Escrow

Most likely I'll sell one on NewEgg or eBay for the full 430-440 anyway and I'll get paid immediately without the need for an Escrow hostage situation.

Yes, I view Escrow as being similar to having my money held hostage; being at the mercy of two people I don't know.

All for sub 5% profit.

Can we please keep it real?

They're not stolen or SAMPLE items placed into new boxes; I'm not obtaining them illegally.

If I was obtaining them illegally you would see black-market prices but I'm not doing that; the HW obtained in that was is really not the best quality

Edit: Sometimes I DO obtain Sample units and can float them for incredibly cheap money, but only things from last-generation.

I can obtain i5s that were originally i7s but had errors relating to Hyper-threading operations.

These i5 versions come at a cheaper price; but I'm not going to be a fuckster and sell them although nobody would know the difference here anyway

In life you get what you pay for, because my shit isn't illegal or sketchy the price reduction is not going to be THAT huge.

There's a huge difference between a legit deal and something that's the result of crime

I think you're talking to me like I'm able to get these units for like 50-100 USD and that's just not the case

As I said I make like less than 5% profit per item; It's almost not even worth my time to ship them

IF you go back a generation (a year) and ask about HW, you'll find the price I can give you will be slashed at maybe 25-30%

Ask for OEM things and you'll find anywhere from 40-75% off

Edit: I can find you a reject 8700k if you're hurting for money like that?

It may have only 1 defect; such as that it cannot divide by 3209.

I can acquire defect-chips like this at 25-50$ and you may never notice this breakage during regular use.

STILL, nobody wants to buy something like that

I feel your intention was to price-bash and not so much because you're trying to buy anything

I realize your high trust level is important here; but please don't treat me like a prostitute by putting cigarettes out on my face.

I would like to note we all started out the same way. A new person looking to do deals without a background takes time to gain trust. Newegg acts as an escrow, we have people that do it here to keep others safe.

I'm not against it, just expressing that I personally find it annoying.

It is just my opinion; people who are "super happy" to do Escrow are confusing because who wants their money jammed up?

I view Escrow for what it is: A hostage situation.

Please don't respond to me like I don't accept Escrow; to say "I don't want it" is different than "I won't accept it"

And yes, I will charge more for Escrow'd items to offset that I have to wait and that someone has placed themselves into my business.

That's life, it's pretty similar when dealing drugs actually; the more people you involve the more the product costs

I mean Escrow is only going to protect the buyer, realistically.

I've lost a lot of money trusting people in Escrow-relationships and other people reading this have too.

It's not Satanic that I think Escrow is fucking awful and unreliable on every level; It's common sense.

I will send my product directly to the buyer, while a 3rd party holds my money until the person receives it?

What if the person lies about recieving it; or if they say it is broken and send me back another unit using my service to replace their HW?

I literally do not accept returns, so in any result there is no need to use Escrow unless the aim of a person is to fuck me.

So from my POV when someone asks: "Escrow?"

I'm thinking "So you're exploring your options to fuck me, I guess."

If trust is a huge factor I prefer uh... PayPal or something that has actual Escrow.

Is an Escrow agent here going to cover my losses like PayPal when someone inevitably tries to fuck me?

Escrow only for items under 100$, ok? :D

Since trust is a two-way street, in this time I only trust about 100$ worth of credit in Escrow related things

Edit: Because if you're buying with Escrow you're one step away from buying with credit; only the person vouching isn't a bank.

And there are high-value member accounts for sale here all the time; let's not over-inflate the meaning of a trusted account

True I haven't been around posting but I have been reading for many years; I'm in awareness of how things are

This is one step from being a total black market; let's keep it real.

Only a few things need to be here for this forum to need to be relocated to a .onion domain.

I think the only things not here are drugs and weapons; and I'm sure they're very much here in the PMs of some members

We should do it the same way as a traditional drug deal, or buying fast food.

Give me money, I give you the product.

Realistically nobody operating with any semblance of intelligence is going to rob someone for 300-500$ when their personal info is on all the shit being shipped out.

It's not like I run this like a intelligence agency operative; It's an actual business that has my life and shit all over it.

I'm not trying to have a hit put on me because I fucked someone over for a minimal amount of money

And no, that's not dramatic to say.

I've been around and I know how people react to being fucked; nobody wants to be fucked and some people depend on every $1 bill they have to function in life.

I assume everyone is the same as me; when they decide to buy something they are not just throwing money for fun but it is a need.

If you fuck someone out of a NEED it's no longer about the money and becomes a much more personal thing.

I fully understand the level that I'm dealing with people at

Edit: The best Escrow is an understanding and ACCEPTANCE of the fact that some people will kill you for playing games, honestly.

That it can easily happen to you, no matter how smart you think you are or anonymous.

That's a pretty good deterrent to do straight business

I'm sure there are a few people here who were probably cut for being obnoxious; I'm sure the accounts they used are probably many pages back lost to time.

Server RAM is required correct?

There are versions that take both Desktop and Server but use the standard LGA2011 CPU

Edit: Is it personal-use or Server?

Although both MOBO types are X79 there are some differences in regard to the HW they utilize

How about this for $135? I guess consider it an introductory offer. :P

This model is cute, it was mass-produced far after the X79 era ended to accommodate a growing need for the boards in 3rd world areas; as these CPUs finally began to make their way to them.

It uses Desktop RAM, and has two RAM slots as opposed to the usual 4 you may find on some server MOBOs.

This is the cheapest model that I can suggest to you with a clear mind, the lower-end models are shitware w/ only USB 2.0 and so on.

If you'd like I can give you a quote here too.

I would suggest M.2 storage as it's a lot faster than SATA III SSD by the way

Your biggest bottleneck will be how fast you can read/write to storage honestly

So if you're going to drop money on an expensive CPU, make sure to grab components that can accommodate it fully

I am withdrawing my escrow offer.

As op has made it clear he does not like escrow.

That's fine, I mean at some point I would decline all escrow period when it becomes apparent enough that I'm doing straight business

I don't need to like something to recognize it's a requirement for someone to do business; and will meet them half-way in that like an adult.

Likewise, what I like shouldn't have such a large effect on your decisions but having observed this reaction from you I feel it really is best we don't do business with each-other

Edit: Because even if you don't like me or something I said rubbed you the wrong way; it won't change the fact that I do straight business so I feel it won't matter much if I do or don't get someones endorsement on a personality level

The only people I care about are the people who are buying something from me, honestly

Yes, I could get a nice one time hit for 400-500$ or whatever and buy a good bag of weed or something.

I would rather instead do straight business, make like 10$ on the transaction and do that a bunch of times; It's a business model that really seems to work for me honestly in everything I do.

Sell something at a reasonable price; actually provide what you sell in the full sense and try to accommodate the people who want to buy from you.

On the subject of China I'll important any item into w/e country for a flat fee 10$ or 5% of the product price; whichever costs more.

I mean I'm willing to provide an export service for almost as cheap as this dudes Escrow if people are really interested in that
