Title: [WTB] newer broken/non-working graphics cards
Post by: helipotte on September 01, 2016, 07:34:38 PM
Looking to purchase newer (able to mine ethash coins) GPU's that don't work.  Preferably ones that have blackscreens/no-post/no power at all issues.  Please PM with offers or post here.

Will use escrow and pay with BTC.  I will pay for shipping and escrow.  US sellers only please.

Cards I would buy:

AMD:  7950 7970 280 280x 290 290x 380 380x 390 390x Nano/Fury

Nvidia: 970 980

Thanks for looking! ;D

Edit: Non-working fans/water cooling is OK too.

That would be fine, just PM me or post here what you have and what you are asking.

Have a non running R9 290 Sapphire, is in good condition.  Not sure how much that values to.

I got a Dual-X Sapphire R9 280X that burnt a VRM. Desoldered that VRM and it burnt another one. Has burnt PCB damage in some areas.

The board pretty much works until it burns another VRM. ASIC is good and ram chips.

You don't suppose you could send or post pictures?

I have it in storage at the moment.

But if you look at the PCB for it, its those VRM that burnt out.

I have a couple pallets of working mining cards if you are interested.   I will be making a mega post soon, just finishing my inventory and pricing.    If you have a large buyer, it would make it easier.

I have a failed Asus R9 290 4GB OC.
Purchased on Ebay buy never worked.

Fit your requirement :
Preferably ones that have blackscreens/no-post/no power at all issues.

I can't boot on 3 different motherboard, no-post / blackscreens.
I unmounted the cooling system, card didn't show any burn.
All parts is carefully stored with original GPU box.
Ready to ship

I have 5 x MSI 280X cards that all have issues I would sell. They mainly have dead fans, but some might have other problems. I also have 2 x Silverstone 1500 watt PSU that do not work if you want to grab those also?
