Anyone have the screws from the FRONT of a 1080TI FE? Just the screws but I would pay postage for the whole thing (NOT trying to revive a dead card) if you are lazy like me and don't want to screw with it. Finally found one but I know the kind of noise level I am going to hear as soon as it arrives.

I have five Intel Xeon E5-2620 CPUs available. Pulled from recycled servers. All tested working. Includes a 3d-printed CPU carrier/holder as well.

Asking $5 shipped within the USA each. Otherwise you just pay $5 in packaging/materials plus actual shipping costs if you want the lot.

EDIT: Gone

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.

I may have a 4650. I’ll have to dig through my box stuff I don’t need but keep anyway.

This board is temperamental. Fails to post every other boot, requires unplugging psu for 30s then it will boot saying overclock failed. If you make any changes in bios, it won't boot. On board graphics are broken on the board, just not detected and no output. Includes a working dual core cpu, a 1gb ram stick which works, and an 8gb ram stick thst I could only get to work with the 1gb stick alongside it. I think the other ram slots don't work at all. Pretty jank setup, went with something more reliable to put on my test bench. Flat rate box for $15 takes it off my hands, the board, cpu, ram, heatsink, and io shield all included.
 
I see what you guys offered but hoping for something a little newer for better drivers. I also checked and it can actually fit a dual slot GPU but it must be able to be powered from the PCIe slot as there is no PCIe from the PSU.

Also to anyone who wants it

I have some Older Xeon CPUs and Core CPUs
 
Does anyone have an IR keyboard? I need something to map to a learning remote to control TV app ;) *Althogh I would like to have another RC6 (win MCE) keyboard, I need something old school that works as a normal keyboard to bypass the terrible MS drivers for MCE which some cases breaks certain apps to read the keyboard.

Hello,
Just started a small project to max out lga775. I am into modifying the motherboard on hardware level. I need some staff if anyone has anything please do share.
1) ....Core 2 Quad Extreme QX9770 or Xeon X5492
2) ....LGA775 EK Waterblock (RGB or any)
3) ....4x4gb 1066mhz or 1200mhz
4) ....PCI soundcard other than sound blaster. Im not sure which was the best PCI sound card back in the days but Asus Xtreme Fidelity may be ?
5) ....USB 3.0 card with Type A and C addon card.
6) ....ASUS LCD Poster

HT Omega Striker is another great PCI sound card and they released Win 10 drivers for it to boot!

No offense, but trying to straw millionaire a QX9770 isn't what this thread is for. That CPU was an incredibly expensive high end part for the day, and still holds a considerable value today even over a decade later. It'd be like begging for a 10980XE for free, really not going to happen.

There are plenty of QX9770s available on Ebay, as well as their Xeon counterparts for not an astronomical price, but will set you back a bit in the wallet. If you want a more economical CPU, I'd recommend a Q9550 or X5460 (if the board supports it), which are cheap and usually have a good deal of overclocking headroom. It's not hard to push a Q9550 past a QX9770 with just a FSB overclock from 1333 to 1600 MHz, all you may have to do is slightly bump up the vcore.
 
I need a passively cooled PCIe video card with HDMI output for a system for my roommate so he can watch movies on his HDTV.

Is an HD5450 OK?

WANT:
Does anyone have a 40MM regular square PC style fan no this is not for PC use it is for my Denon S-301 this thing get hot (Why I don't know the actual amp is on the sub-woofer piece maybe the Pre-amp?) anyway it is a standard 40MM x 10MM thick 12VDC square fan. Don't know the original fans specs all I know is it does not work and when the unit is off the fan will not move easily so the bearings are no good! Fan part # F410T-12L1C (from service manual)

If the bearing isn't chewed up and is just seized from lack of lube, you can re-oil it and bring it back. All you gotta do is remove the fan, peel off the manufacturers sticker from the back to get access to the rear of the bearing and drip some 3-n-1 oil or silicone lube in and spin it back and forth by hand until it frees up. You'll also want to push/pull the hub in and out slightly to help migrate the lube around. If you feel any grittiness or see the lube get black, wash it out with more lube and keep turning it until the lube stays clear. If you leave any of the burned carbon suspended in the lube, it will act like liquid sandpaper and further trash the bearing.

Once you're done, leave a bit of oil in the back of the bearing and seal it in with a piece of electrical tape. You'll have to make sure the back face where the sticker was is clean and dry or the tape won't stick. A bit of windex will do the job, just don't get any in the bearing.

What you need to do is mod that sucker and you should be asking for a 140mm fan .. not a 40mm :)

..a whole cut saw and some zip ties and your golden!
