5x working 7970's, 1650 shipped.

andrew, any interest in my "totally busted" 5870?  we spoke earlier, but..

i'd rather not list it on ebay and have someone buy it thinking it can be fixed, haha.  i don't know if you have some use for the parts, or what.

i could keep the fan on it (+$10!), so then all it'd be missing is the backplate, a few screws, and lots of shiny things on the card.

i missed the end of that 5970 heatsink auction.  went for like $11... wtf   

[AndrewK]

Hey man, I allready have quite a few 5870s that are junk... Thinking of getting rid of them on ebay myself. You could use a heatgun to pull the core off of it and make a cool keychain or something?

care to explain me for what u need em?
disasembling and assembling fully working ones or just as hardware supplier/etc?

greetings

I have a 5970 which artifacts, but mines. It gets unstable and turns itself off occasionally.

It's in my sale thread, but PM me if you're interested.

I have a 3 or 4 Nvidia quadro FX1800's here.

They are all in perfect condition, no boxes though, they were pulled from workstations i upgraded (mostly for cad and other design) for a local company.

Make me an offer?

6950 that just started acting up this weekend.  7-8 btc shipped.

[AndrewK]

Shoot me your addy for payment^

What about a broken 6970 ?

This story kills me, but I bought this thing in a private sale and it was brand new in the box.

I had run it to test on my test bench and everything was great. I wanted to put a waterblock on it and then realized the block I had was the wrong revision.

I was taking the card out of my car and I dropped the thing on the pavement.

Card didn't look super damaged, but it wouldn't post. I took off the stock heatsink and couldn't see anything major, but no dice.

So not sure if based on your knowledge that tells you it's easy or hard to fix, but make me an offer. I can take some pics if you want.

Pm'd and ready to ship

Clearing the shelves off as I tear down my GPU farm. I've got a 5970 on which the fans spin up and it warms up a bit but it doesn't do anything. Interested in it before I chuck it on eBay? I'll take BTC or USD.

Hi. I have a gigabyte 5850 dual fan. The card works perfectly for both mining and gaming. The fans however are another story. It was either insufficient wire thickness or bad connection, but one of the fans failed to spin much at all. I thought it might've been un-lubed bearing, and I remedied that, but it still refused to spin properly when connected to the card. When connected to a separate 12v power source, both fans, connected individually, ran at expected speeds. I decided to take it off and tie on 2 x 80mm x 25mm fans to the heatsink. It cools much better now and has a similar noise level, but it now requires a 3rd slot, MAYBE a 4th, if you're putting it in a computer without risers.

Like all gigabyte nonref 5850, this is voltage locked, somewhere between 1.0875v and 1.2v. It mines with core at 1035, regardless of whatever voltage I pick.
I still have the original fans and shroud.

Not sure what to sell it for, seeing as it is functionally perfect. Even the fans change speed if you tell it to via whatever software you use for OC/fan.

Replied to all. Thx

Had a bit of trouble with the card LiteBit sent... I couldnt get it to load drivers or install. I worked out a deal with him for 4.5btc instead of the 7.5btc originally agreed upon. Great transaction otherwise and I would trade with him again!

I have 2 sapphire 5830s I'm ready to sell. Working perfectly. I will accept any fair offer. MSI mobo/cpu/ram combo w/pcie cables up for sale also. It supports up to 4 gpus.
