Sell 1080 Ti with AIO cooler or put the original heatsink/fan back on it?

[kamikazi]

Since I was able to get a 3080 from the Newegg shuffle, I'm going to sell my 1080 Ti (EVGA SC Black). I currently have a Kraken G12 on it connected to an EVGA CLC 240mm AIO. I also added heatsinks on the RAM chips. I bought the 1080 Ti from a member of this forum and that's where I'm going to sell it. So, would I be better off selling it as is and ship the original cooler with it, or should I set it back to factory configuration?

List it like it currently is and let the buyer decide if he wants you to put to stock or leave it as is.

Id sell it as is. List the aio temps vs the stock temps as a selling point.

I'm gonna be the voice of dissent and say sell it with the stock cooler. Then you'll already have the AIO + bracket around for future project

But but then you cant buy the latest greatest with the profits!

Sell it as is and include the stock cooler when you ship it.

Add a 3rd option..... Ask the buyer what they want.

To sell it stock would take probably at least an hour to dis-assemble/re-assemble and I need to make sure the original thermal pads are still in good shape. Popular opinion shows that I should make it's current state the default configuration and offer to change it to suit the buyer. I need to figure out if I will charge more to actually put it back to stock. Thanks for the input everyone. Now I just have to figure out pricing so that it will actually sell here without waiting weeks and dropping the price while I bump the heck out of the listing.

$500-$550 would be a good price and a quick sale with the AIO cooler. Right now the market is dropping and I think people are in a holding pattern. Good luck!

Unlikely.

I'd clean and repaste the original cooler and use that. It's a lot easier to ship without damage to the radiator. I'd just keep the 240mm AIO around for a rainy day. The difference in price you'd fetch between the two is negligible IMO and you're limiting your buyers to those with large cases to fit a large GPU AIO.
