Title: [WTB] [Canada] LGA 1151 CPU and DDR4 RAM
Post by: SnowMan83 on April 18, 2019, 10:27:33 PM
I'm looking for an LGA151 cpu and DDR4 ram in Canada preferably.

I'm not really interested in Celeron processors and 8gb of ram would be nice.

The closer to south east BC the better to save on shipping, all offers will be considered though.

I can pay with paypal or crypto with escrow.

Thanks!

Hey,

I got nothing for you but have noticed a few Canadian offers lately. Here's one that may have most of what you are looking for, Iirc it's still a few provinces away.

Then there's this thread with Ram, more than you need but a trusted member and only 1 province over.

Good luck.

I have a lot of things you'd might want in my thread here:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5118559.msg50080912#msg50080912 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5118559.msg50080912#msg50080912)
I'm not Canadian but I'm just across the border in WA so much closer than most of your moose brothers  ;D.  If your machine is just going to be an 8 card miner I can assure you (as I'm sure any experienced miner will verify) that a celeron with 4gb of ram doesn't even get half utilized while mining.  The core usage sits around 30% and less than 2gb of ram gets used.  In that case I can rebuild the 8 card miner I originally pulled the MSI Z170A Gaming M7 in my thread with a g3930, 4gb of ram (I can always put in 8gb if you'd prefer) and the m.2 -> pci-e adapter.  Alternatively, I could sell you 8gb of DDR3 and an i3 (I don't remember which but I know I have an LGA 1150 i3 around here somewhere) leaving you to find an appropriate motherboard (I don't have any LGA 1150 mobos with 8 slots left).  Let me know if any of this interests you.

What is your budget?
I have a few things that might work for you.
In the US and on the opposite coast but depending on a few things it might not be that bad.
