My son recently upgraded his 2700x to a 5700x on a b350 Tomahawk. He noticed a large uplift in gaming, since the 5700x allowed his 3070ti to stretch its legs a little more, plus the 5700x did not throw as much heat into his small room as did the 2700x.

I don't use pbo or anything, just run my 5950x at stock. But I cpu mine with it, so I keep the fans at 100% (noise doesn't bother me) and this cooler keeps my CPU in the mid-70s, while fully loaded at 4.3-4.4Ghz. I don't think I could ask for more, considering how little it cost.

I upgraded my kid's pc to a 5700x, but he has no interest in playing this game, and I don't have the time to do so. If someone else was thinking about purchasing this game, drop me a PM. My Heatware moniker is the same as my user name here, and I can take either Paypal or Venmo. Thank you for...

Have these lowered prices convinced anyone here to upgrade their 5950x setup to a 7950x build? If so, did you sell your old system to help offset the upgrade cost?

I got the Thermal right Peerless Assassin 120 SE for my 5950x. I have a case with decent airflow, and I CPU mine on Nicehash. I run the CPU at stock speed, no PBO or anything else on. I keep the two thermalright fans at 100% for best cooling. The CPU runs at 100% load while mining, with an...

I can't help you with gpu's, but I have the guts of a couple of systems I used for hobby mining until a couple of months ago. You would have to determine if they are useful enough or not, if you don't mind paying for shipping. 1. The first system is one I currently have in the freebies thread...

OP, if you are upgrading solely for gaming and still have a chance to return your 5900x, you may want to get the 5800x3D instead. Hardware Unboxed did a nice video pitting it against the Ryzen 3600 and Ryzen 5600x, both with a 6600xt and a 6950xt at a couple of different resolutions. You may...

The peerless assassin 120 is really nice for the price. I use it to cool my 5950x and it does the job well enough.

I use this cooler on my 5950x, and while cpu mining on Nicehash and the cpu is at 100% load, my cpu tops out at 80c. I run the fans on full speed for better cooling.

I was able to score a brand new 5950x on OfferUp for $400 a couple of days ago. This lets me max out my system and skip a couple of upcoming generations. After selling the 3900x it replaced, the upgrade cost was small, and the Thermalright Peerless Assassin for $40 from Amazon keeps it plenty...

No one has taken me up on the offer to take this locally, so I am opening it up to anyone who wants to pay for the cost of shipping. Just be aware that the only place I have time to visit during my lunch hour is Fedex, and the last time I shipped a component (a gpu, that time) it was around...

I sold one of my 6 cards, two more will go to upgrade my sons' pcs, and the other 3 I will keep to do some spec mining.

Could anyone in the Houston area use an X58 system? I purchased this on the forums last year, from Kamikaze, and it has been the heart of a two-gpu mining setup. Since I have dismantled the setup, I no longer have a need for it. I am not certain if I still have the owner's manual, but I did...

If anyone in the Houston area needs a Helium miner antenna, I have an outdoor Rokland 5.8 dbi model you can have. I used it for about 5 months before I purchased a higher gain model. I may still have the pole mounting brackets to go with it. It is about 3 feet long and made of fiberglass, I...

We are looking at doing something similar in a year or two. We have been in Houston for over 20 years, now, and we want a place where there are less people, and no HOAs.

Posting here, as I have had no luck on local sites: I have been mining for a few months, and I would like to do an even trade of one AMD gpu for an Nvidia card, in order to have more diversity in my setup. I have a couple of 6800 non-XTs (reference model and a Sapphire Pulse). These have been...

That system should be plenty enough to start playing around with mining. I mined, for a bit, on an old Phenom system. The cpu was too old to mine, but the gpu worked just fine with Nicehash.

Lowest price I have seen on a 6700xt. Wish I had the funds. GLWS

SOLD - I purchased this card from my local MC on 4/26 (for $499+tax), and used it until I got a decent-ish deal on a 6700xt a few days ago. I can provide the receipt, if so desired, and I have the retail box and all material it came with. I am asking for $480/shipped and Venmo is my preferred...

I have a Zotac Rtx 2060 6gb, purchased on 4/26 from MC for 499+tax (will provide receipt), used for 5 weeks until I got a 6700xt. I have the retail box and all packaging. The card has not yet been registered for the warranty. $480/shipped.

There have been a few 3950x cpus show up in the FS/FT forum (recently) in the low $500+ range, from users that have upgraded to Ryzen 5xxx. That is a significant cost difference vs a new 5950x, if you don't mind buying used parts.

Yours for the cost of shipping, probably $5-7. I could ship them out on Tuesday, during my lunch break. The residue on the memory chips on the one module is from the tape that held it into the laptop it was pulled from. Sorry for the bad pictures, but they come from a cheap phone. LMK

My local MC had an open-box Nitro+ for 400 just a week ago. Doesn't help you now, but there may be a few going through the channels, if you can keep an eye out for one.

I am looking for a mid-range, used Nvidia card. If you haven't recently upgraded and have a spare card and want to sell, please send me a PM. Thank you.

I believe it is the Gigabyte Gaming OC version that is $599 at MC. I think the white (Vision) model is $20 more.

SOLD to Icecold- I upgraded my son's rig to an RTX 2xxx card, so now I have his Vega 56 to re-home. This is the Powercolor Red Dragon model, and it has served him well for several months. I am asking for $250/shipped, via Fedex, and card will ship in its factory box. Venmo is my preferred...

Gone, to ThreeDee - I have these ddr3 sodimms that are not being used. I tried to give them away, before, but never heard back from the gentleman. If anyone wants them, they are yours for the shipping cost.
