WTS Sapphire Radeon HD 5830 Xtreme w/ Zalman VF3000 Fan

[jcortez1594]

Hey guys, I have a Sapphire Radeon HD 5830 Xtreme with a red Zalman VF3000 aftermarket vga cooler. It keeps the card much cooler than the original fan and it also quieter and has blue led's on each fan. I'm looking to get around $80 shipped. It's been giving me ~170Mhash/s without OC and works great in games too. It comes with the original sapphire box and all. Let me know if interested, thanks!

I'll take it off your hands, I was actually saving up for a 5850, but i was looking on miner specs  and you said you only get 170mhash, it states that it should be like 300+?


Model    Price [25]    Availability    Avg. Mhash/s    Mhash/J    Mhash/s/$

Huh...that is weird. I'll have to look into it. Unfortunately, I forgot it inside my college dorm and I won't be able to get back in there until January 12th.

300+ is with a decent overclock.  I used to have several 5830's, and at stock speeds, they would do 220-230MH/s.  My 5770 was the only one slow enough to go below the 200MH/s mark.

It could have to do with what miner he is using and what pool he is connecting to though.

Also, 5850's are being sold left and right for $60.  $80 for a lesser card seems... overpriced.  Just my opinion.

There's the added cost of the better fan Sapphire fans tend to be....let's just say not the best.
I'm using cg miner and mining at deepbit.
