I have two Gigabyte Windforce3 7950s that I would like to sell to make room for cards I just acquired.  I would keep these for another rig, but I just don't have the room for them.  These come in the original boxes with the cables.  I have had these in my main computer since March/April when I bought them new.  I mined on them for maybe 2-3 months for 10-15 hours a day, with temps usually in the low/mid 70s to 80-81 max(depending on ambient temp in house).  When I gave up on the Litecoin difficulty, these were mainly used for light to medium gaming for about 4-5 months.  They have been flashed with the F43 bios and they are capable of loading a second bios via a switch by the crossfire pins.  The fans spin freely, and there is no sign of fan breakdown... whining, louder than normal noises, etc.  I have noticed that one card is running a bit warmer than normal while hashing.  I read when I originally bought them that these cards are known for using sub-par thermal grease.  A new application of thermal grease would cost $5, and they would run at 100% instead of the 95% they run at now.  With modified cgminer bin files, I get 640kh per card at 76-77 degrees on the top card and 70 on the bottom.  Like I said though the one card is running hotter, and is usually at about 71-72 degrees.  I do run the cards in an open case with an extra fan to move air (the wife likes the house like a sauna, so I give them a little breeze).

I'd like to sell them as a pair, in the US, to save on shipping.  I offered them to miners on my pool first, and I have received a few offers, but I'd like to weigh my options.  Payment in BTC only.  Post any questions you have here, or PM me offers.

Pic lighting and device are a little crappy, but I can assure you they look almost brand new:
