i have the box also, i figure a lot of people want that too. i barely used it. its mint. it has maybe 2 or 3 weeks of use. i have perfect ebay feedback (buyer and seller) and dont really do alot of trading and selling. but i have sold some GPUs and gaming laptops and parts n stuff over the...

x99/broadwell ddr4 memory controller is pretty terrible. and theyre picky with kits, dont expect late generation ddr4 ICs to post . i would shoot for 2666mt/s even 3000mt/s or 3200mt/s is pushing it.

you just need to reinstall the nvidia geforce driver. if you have geforce experience open it and update, or google geforce drivers

You can surely get something free thats better. I just today pulled a z68/2500k combo out of my local recycling center collection bin. Post a wanted ad in a few places looking for a donated CPU/Mobo. You'd be suprised what people just don't want. If you were in the US I'd send you the 2500k...

not only do i overclock them i flash XOC bios' onto them, remove all the protections and run them until they scream and beg for mercy. and if i can ill solder an EVC2 on and take voltage control too

its likely just oil from the VRM thermal pads. the middle of the VRM would in theory have the highest thermal density. i highly doubt thats any issue whatsoever

molex to 6pin isnt even a good idea with 3080s and above. they can easily pull as much as 85w on some brands and thats way overspec for what 18gauge 5v molex is rated for. EVGA FTW3 3080s and 3090s are known to regularly pull at least 85w power draw from the pcie slot. molex is rated for 54w...

repasting and repading a card is standard maintenance. its what, 5 years old now? its due for that stuff to be done i didnt buy this so im not the one with a broken card here. on the otherhand its 5 years old.. its out of warranty anyway. stop the warranty void fud. those little BS stickers...

id rather buy a galax HOF if i had 4grand to pissaway on a card thats gonna be outdated in a year. atleast that would have a unlocked bios.

stay away from cameras also OP.. you suck at taking photos too

it keeps getting better!

have the same board, and i snagged it for 100$ untested last year and to my surprise its flawless. probably my best deal ever. i was over the moon after i got it to post the 1st time 😁😁

they arent really sold in north America. i know a few XOCers in europe and asia who run them.

with evga as long as you dont solder the board (or damage socket pins on MOBOs) your generally fine. as long as you can reassemble back to original config before sending it back for RMA. watercooling, installing hybrid kits, changing paste ect isnt an issue with them. as one of the last...

its BS the Taiwanese gov is putting out to keep production low as possible and demand for said production high. im not buying it for one second. massive amount of international gov pressure is being put on taiwan and TSMC especially because of the auto chip shortage.. and suddenly theres a new...
