Happy Pi day!

We have 5 PowerColor 290 that we're looking to sell. Model is AXR9 290 4GBD5-MDHG/OC. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131522 . They were purchased in Jan '14, and have been in use for ~9 weeks now. The cards have not been registered with PowerColor, and the warranty should still be in affect for another 21 months.

All 5 cards have the reference cooler, but currently have the PCI bracket removed for better airflow/cooling, as you can see in the pictures. The bracket will be reinstalled prior to shipping, unless you specify otherwise. Cards have been run in a clean, cool environment. Temps are kept as low as possible at all times, and at this current moment, temps are 67, 72, 64, 66, and 71C.

We're looking for 0.75BTC OBO for each GPU, including shipping. If you order more than one, we can combine shipping, and even give you a little discount. Escrow is acceptable, if needed, but we've done so many deals here on the forums I should hope that our reputation would speak for itself.

GPUs will be shipped in the original anti-static bags. We also have the original boxes and accessories. If you buy all of them, and you don't want the boxes, just the GPUs, we can probably give you an even bigger discount due to lower shipping costs. We're willing to work with you to make sure both parties are happy in the end!

In addition to the 5 GPUs, we also have 5 PCIe USB-style risers/MB/CPU/RAM/USB BAMT stick available. Asking 0.3BTC firm for the bundle, in addition to the GPUs. PM me for specs/details if you're interested.

Some pictures of the cards in action:

Here's the cards installed in our farm. They're in the top left rig.

Gimme offers people!  ;D

Nice farm. Why are you selling them though, if I may ask, and what hashrates are you seeing?

Also curious of the hashrates  :)

yes it would be nice to share hashrates. also can you specify the starting price?

Why are we selling these? Where we're located, we're limited to ~15kW of power, and we've already run into that limit. Because of the location, bringing in a 200A panel would cost thousands, so we're having to make due with what we have. We've got 56A towards Scrypt, and 16A towards SHA256, and we'd like to do more of a 50/50 split.

These cards get somewhere around 830-865kh/s, depending on the card, although I have a feeling they could do more. Most of our farm was 280x, so we spent a LOT more time tuning those than we did tuning these. I will say they do have Elpida RAM, and none of them can be unlocked to a 290x (I guess a lot of PowerColors were unlocking to 290x, but these 5 weren't able). We have them flashed to the PCS+ BIOS, although I'm not sure it really helps any. They will be flashed back to their original BIOS before shippment.

For price, we have them listed for $425 on ebay, but that's to compensate for the fees. If you want to buy them directly, and pay in BTC, we would give you a discount. And of course, PM me an offer! We'll gladly consider and/or negotiate anything! ;)

1 sold at the end of the week, and has been shipped. 4 left!

New lower price!

Well the ebay ended, and we've got one last 290 left! It's Elpida RAM, but it goes up to ~920kh/s. We have it down to ~895kh/s for temps (today is one of the warmer days we've had all spring).

If you're interested, send me a PM and we'll give you a price!
