Title: [WTS] MSI Big Bang-Marshal (B3) w/ Intel Core i7 2600k
Post by: likuidxd on December 30, 2011, 02:13:27 AM
Making the move to 2011!  ;D

I'm putting up for sale my MSI Big Bang-Marshal (B3) (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130595) motherboard with a seated Intel Core i7-2600k (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115070) CPU. Currently it has this beastly Intel BXXTS100H (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835203004) heatsink and fan mounted that I will ship as well. CPU has never been overclocked, in fact it has been underclocked it's whole life.
I bought it with Bitcoin in mind but had planned to build out a new gaming rig that doubled as a miner. Never got to it and now I caught the itch for 2011. It will run 8 GPU's no problem in a stable environment and is very adaptive.
All parts and boxes are accounted for and will ship intact in original packaging unless otherwise requested.
Offering it here first since this may appeal to some of my fellow miners.

Make me a good offer, and...

Please serious inquiries only

Asking $400 in BTC

worth likely in range of 400 to 500 .   the cpu alone used is worth 250 in itself

Its pretty but kinda fail. Lucid hybrid is junk. Only 2 slots are 16x all the rest are 1x. It doesnt support 3 way. Read the reviews.

It was $500 a few weeks ago and has dropped in price every few days due to bad reviews and poor sales. Amazon was selling them for $225 yesterday today its $217. Brand new free ship.

Asus super computer is the way to go. Better manufacturer, chipset, and all the slots are 16x.

Uh, no - I have one. There a 7x x16 physical size slots, but not all of them are x16 electrical. However, I do agree that it is quite a bit better - none of the slots are less than x8 (I believe, perhaps x4).

This board actually supports 2, 3 & 4 way crossfire in x16 x8 x8 x8 (same as the Asus Supercomputer), I own one :). You would be correct in saying Lucid does not support 3 way SLI.
As far as Asus goes, yea they make good boards too. As far as the Supercomputer board goes, great board if you want a 1366 CPU.

Many of the reviews are poor because people never updated their BIOS and there were problems with the first release.

Combo is $475 OBO

;D OK, my quip about "quite a bit better" was based on the (mis?)information about all but 2 of the slots being x1 on your board. And yes, 1366 is getting long in the tooth, but still works well.
