Don't worry, I got you!

Let me just grab some trash from my stash real quick... there we go:

One set of Flare to tie that mess of GTX and Copperhead revisions together.

Nailed it?

9 DIMMs per socket ... so, 3-channel layout with 3DPC?

 

[Splinterdog]

That's some cool packaging from Intel.

Yes, 3DPC:



Not that it matters for an awkward memory tray.

You better send your computer into the shop for a battery alignment.

And replace it with a Duracell or Energizer. Good for at least 2-3 FPS.

reminds me on when AMD was the desperate one and had to resort to cool quirky packaging lol (remember those tic tac things?). oh how the times have changed.

This club is for up-close pictures of hardware only.

If a girlfriend is too hardware for me, is it then allowed to post a sexy close up?

My girlfriend can to play good games, like the NES in the 1980tys riding the horse

Another two beauties for the collection, pushed into early retirement by COVID - unfortunately, working LGA1155 and FM2 boards are in short supply in this house

Those look really good! This inspired me to take a quick look for an ITX motherboard for an old Haswell I have lying around, and ... holy **** what happened to used hardware prices? $300 for a used Z97 ITX board from China? $170 for a brand-name H87 ITX, again used? WTF?

Global semiconductor shortage.

Global semiconductor shortage.

I know, but damn. Those prices are insane.

 

[ChaoticAtmosphere]

I work as an account manager facilitating procurement of IT hardware, software for my clients' IT infrastructure. A quick search for "price increase" in my outlook inbox yielded price increase notices by Brother, Canon, Microsoft CSP subscriptions (O365), Lexmark, Sonicwall, Cisco, Dymo, Zebra, Meraki, Jabra, Epson, APC (Schneider Electric) and Poly (Formerlly Plantronics and Polycom) and that's just in the first quarter of this year.

Lead times for backordered products is months now instead of weeks. Try to find a Lenovo docking station. My clients' have orders from 2021 that still haven't been fulfilled.

It is insane and it doesn't look like it's getting any better.

I've been (was) looking for a replacement for my ASRock Z97 OCFormula for a few years and the prices have been high for as long. I've simply moved on as I won't pay that kind of price for old tech. The i7-4790k still runs great and I have oodles of DDR3 sitting on the shelf. Looks like it will become eWaste.

 

[itsakjt]

5.1 GHz goodness!

Have you ever considered reselling said items?

The ASRock Z97 OCFormula is still limping along as my Plex server with 2 dead DIMM slots and only one working PCIe slot. LOL Once it gives up the ghost the CPU and most of my DDR3 (maybe 3-4 kits) will go to auction. I'm not expecting to get much for the DDR3 though. It seems like they are almost not worth selling.

Yeah, I get you. I just always prefer electronics to get reused than go to ewaste.

If you can afford to hang on to them for a couple of years the Ram will fetch much more than its current value.
DDR3 will/should increase in value due to shortage (its no longer in production).

Interested in some DDR and DDR2? LOL (MODS: Note this is not an attempt at a sale and is intended as a Joke.)

Folks, let's get back on topic before the mods have to force the issue..
