It would still be Advertiser selling Bullshit /guff to extract the highest resale price

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

im aiming at Craigslist in my local area. No one in my area is selling an x58 PC and every time I see one even marketed even at high prices it ends up getting sold. the demand for x58 boards are high but the supply of them out there is low. At Least not the cheap Chineseium ones you see on eBay for $80 new.

It begs the question.

if its so good what are you upgrading to?



Here is an ASUS P6T i have nearly completed for a friend. As soon as Adrian, my postman turns up, i can fit the PSU.

I am looking for another 1366 and i like P6T as they are great boards, shame you are so far away.

as much I love the insane power that this beast spits out in the end of the day it's just a project PC to me. After the project is done sadly it's time to clear out the bench and make room for another project. Most likely going to be an x79 or a dual 2011 e5 2670 beast. If no one buys the PC for $400 I'll just part it out and sell the board alone for $150 since these boards go on eBay for around $200. My main desktop PC is an AM2+ platform with DDR2 memory. And I'm still rocking it happily.

finally...by your own admission your prices are unrealistic.

$ 300 is more sensible i would say for the whole lot, which still gives you $ 150.00 profit for the "work" you put in.

Remember that you are talking about a 2.66GHz, 3.3GHz Turbo boost Cpu. My X5677 is 3.46GHz, 3.73GHz Turbo boost and it cost less than the X5650

ive seen people on Craigslist selling x58 systems with i7 920s for $400 I think the x5650 on x58 at $400 is reasonable considering its performance output. In theory $300 is fair but in my area everything is inflated and I'm going to aim at what the Craigslist market is shaped at in my area

in the UK they are the same price. £ 45.00 buy it now or best offer so 40.00 is realistic


I am very tempted with the X5677 for my next Xeon.......theres 5.0 ghz in those badboys.

 

[FireFox]

theres 5.0 ghz in those badboys.

I bet there is

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

I bet there is

4 cores 8 threads at 5.0ghz for £ 40.00 ............sounds pretty good to me.

Thats one pound per gigahertz per thread if you want to "spin" the maths that way.

still not as good value as E 5620 @ 4.0ghz for £ 7.50 though

That's right, but a E5620 at 4.0GHz it's to the limit, you can't push it further otherwise it risk to fail or the Machine will become unstable causing random BSOD, while the X5677 it's a 3.46GHz stock and overclock it to 4.0GHz it's like nothing and there's the possibility to take to 5.0GHz or even more without the risk that the CPU fail.

except that the E5620 is 20% of the price of X5677


if i had X5677 i wouldnt pussyfoot around at 4.0ghz ............ it would have to 5.0ghz .....

You should get one.

How much cost a X5677 over there?

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

they have accepted my offer of £ 40.00

Sell it for what you can get for it . . . it really doesn't need too much discussion.

 

[silkstone]

Reading this thread really makes me want to create a x58 build . . . not because I need to, but because of how much fun overclocking those things would be.

. . . If only the x58 mobos were cheaper. The lowest price I can find locally is $100 or $25 for a broken Rampage II extreme that I could attempt to repair.

you can try an Intel board. I've heard people overclocked those before

In Case you Did not Know
All X58 chipset boards are Intel Based
Individual brands may Vary with their ability to overclock

yes I know that since each board has its blck limits. But even with the Intel board you'd be able to pull at least 190 on the blck. Perhaps 200 if you are lucky. People have overclocked the Intel x58 boards before. The cheapest x58 boards out there have to be the Intel dx58so boards and many people have gotten decent overclocked on them.

 

[FireFox]

I envy you people

add $ 8.95 for a 4c/8th E 5620 and you are laughing

I have used

ASUS ii ROG extreme
ASUS P6T Deluxe
MSI Pro E

and i got the same results with all of them
