FS: Kit - I5 4590, MSI Z97, 16GB DDR3 1600, High Quality CPU Cooler

-=-=-=--=-=-=-=- SOLD=-=-=-=-=-=-=-SOLD=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-


Kit: Intel Socket 1150, Core I5, DDR3 1600, quality CPU heatsink
$125 shipped, kit price

Motherboard: MSI Z97 Guard-Pro, socket LGA 1150, chipset Z97; “MSI Military Class 4” (whatever that means); includes original box, I/O shield, and manual

CPU: Intel Core I5 4590 Haswell, 22nm, LGA 1150, 3.3GHz, 3.7GHz Turbo, 84W TDP, Intel HD Graphics 4600 (one Display Port on the motherboard) (this CPU ran fan-less with the heatsink listed below - quiet!)

Memory: Kingston Hyper X, DDR3 1600, CL9, 2 X 4GB, KHX16C9B1RK2/8X

CPU heatsink: Thermalright Ultra 120 eXtreme, components for sockets 115X, AM2, and 775 (may be compatible with other sockets as well – I don’t know); no fan but I can throw in a free 120mm if you need one; this heatsink handled the I5 4590, stock clock and voltage, fan-less.

CPU Cooler, OEM: I may include the original Intel OEM cooler, unused, in original box, depending on shipping box space and which cooler – if any – you want from me

My intent is to sell these components as a kit. It probably would not be worth my while to sell components individually. This system was rock-solid stable. I bought all the hardware new and never overclocked any of the components. This was my wife’s computer and she was very gentle with it.

I just disassembled this system a couple days ago, at which time it was working flawlessly. It would be a really good perfect barebones solution for typical office work, web surfing, and other light to medium employment.

I have tried to price this kit modestly so that there might not be much negotiation necessary. But sure, there’s certainly room for some dealing. Maybe you need other components for your thrifty new build?

Kit price $125, shipped USPS Priority, all 50 US states, PR, and US VI (none of that 48 states-only silliness )

DISCLOSURE: The hardware is functionally flawless as far as I know. On the back side of the motherboard there is some silicone glue residue. I had used the computer for a couple weeks as a parts tester on my workbench. I had mounted the system, which was open air, on rubber bumpers that were affixed with glue. There is no effect from the glue.

Very fair price.

Bump for a great seller.

I see the board has an M.2 slot but no mention of NVMe.

Any idea if these are supported? I can't quite tell from the documentation. I know this was a transitory period and pretty much the first gen of M.2 slots..... can you even get non-nvme M.2 drives these days?

M.2 Sata 3 drives are still out there. Western Digital Blue and Crucial Mx series off the top of my head.

I still have a 1tb Crucial MX sata 3 M.2 drive that ran fine on an Asus z97i board. No experience with the MSI board posted for sale here but they should work.

GLWS OP!

Mel, sorry, I somehow missed your post earlier this week. TheHig's reply is correct. I did not though, find any documentation in the manual that the M.2 port is bootable.

bump for sweet deal
