Topic: [WTS] XFX 5830 (Read 1661 times)

Still for sale if anyone wants it. I replaced it with other cards, so now I just have it lying around wanting to be mined with. Anyone?

oh, mine weren't on eBay.  They were all on this forum.  The prices on eBay aren't a direct correlation here because there aren't any fees here, no chargebacks, etc.

I haven't seen them for $70 for the past few months (on ebay). Most are roughly $100+ and whatever they are charging for shipping. And ebay never seems to have many sellers selling them. So if you are looking to grab 20-30 cards, it would take awhile to collect them from ebay.


Anyway, still taking 23 BTC even though the Bitcoin has dropped below $5...

I have no clue how to "properly" bid on ebay with automated snipes. I was looking at $0.075 per SP (means a 5750 for $54, 5870 for $120, etc) shipped, and I'm just blanket bidding on everything on ebay.

I also don't exactly have a deep wallet as I'm just a lowly grocery store clerk working part time. 2.5 Ghash have supplemented my income substantially.

It amazes me that they are selling for $115.  I've bought all of mine for $70-80.  Props to you man.

Still selling for 23 BTC! It didn't sell on Ebay, so I relisted for another few days. It's up for grabs if any of you gentleman want to take it off my hands.

I have informed the seller that I have depleted my funds for the time being. I made an offer that I am waiting on a reply back for.

In the meantime if anyone else is interested please don't hesitate to put a bid in.

cheers

Deal. I'll PM you.

I'll give ya 22 BTC shipped to Florida.

cheers

Asking 23 BTC shipped. I won't be going lower then that. Any takers?

(Listing it on Ebay as well...)

I haven't switched it out from the motherboard or PSU. I used to run a Sapphire 5830 with it in the same Motherboard, and the whole system would just lock up after 1-10 days. I got a different rig going, so I moved it my Sapphire 5830 from the one rig into the new one. As of right now, it's running by itself on the same MoBo and PSU. It's been running for two days without problems right now.

Doubt it's the PSU. PSU is brand-new Rosewell with a single rail design at 650watts. It's getting clean stable electricity as far as I know. The user that I bought it from in February was an avid gamer that took great care of his computer parts. So I'm thinking it might have to do with the fact that I am using an old motherboard (I am running it in a PCIe 1.0 16x slot) and maybe BAMT is having driver issues with the card and motherboard combo.

I am going to be an honest seller on this forum, like I am on Ebay. So I am giving an non-bullshit review of the card. I've only been in the mining business a couple months, so it could just be something simple I didn't configure right. Would prefer to avoid Ebay and Paypal fees, and just sell directly with Bitcoins.

tl;dr
Not likely to be the Videocard or PSU. Probably the Motherboard/BAMT that's causing the hang-ups.

Anyway, taking 24BTC shipped. (OBO)

Have you tried switching it with one of the other cards you have running to try and rule out the motherboard or psu, etc?

Still selling in case anyone is interested. Will take 24BTC shipped.

Pm'd

I'll be honest, I don't like this particular card. Haven't been able to found out what it's stable clocks are. Perhaps it just doesn't like my old motherboard. That's why I am getting rid of it.

Always ran stock voltage (v1.163), and usually a 1000/300 clock. Gets ~324MH/s in BAMT using the phatk2 kernal. Only been using it for two months mining. Owner before me was a Gamer. Asking for 25BTC, with free shipping. Only going to ship within the continental US. Comes with original box, driver disc, manual, crossfire cable, and DVI/VGA adapter. Basically all the stuff it would come with if you bought it new.

It's the nicer of the two XFX models http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150497

Will post pics with timestamps if requested.
