To give: ATI Radeon HD4870 video card. Not supported by AMD any more. Last driver update was in 2013. Does not place nicely with Windows 10 but should work fine on Windows 7.
PM sent.

My mining rigs are now officially disassembled, and I'm giving away most of the parts FOR FREE. These bits and pieces of hardware made me some good money. It's time to give back to the community.
Plus the condition of this hardware is kind of goofy, so you get what you pay for.
Motherboards
ASUS K9A2 Platinum - no original packaging.
Gigabyte GA-MA790X-UD4P - also no original packaging.
ASUS A88x-Pro - I have some of the original packaging (the box) but key components may be missing. For some weird-ass reason, it will not POST with 3 video cards in it, but only when running the A10-7870k that's in there right now. I think? I haven't tried booting the A10-7700k to diagnose the problem. There was an "incident" when uninstalling the 7700k that may or may not have resulted in CLU hitting some traces somewhere, but the last time I tested it, the board still worked. The original HSF mounting brackets are around here somewhere . . . I think?
RAM
Assorted cheapo DDR2 sticks. Dunno the brand, but I think it's 4x4GB? Something like that? No original packaging.
Silicon Power DDR3-2400 CAS/CL11 (2x8GB) - actually will run DDR3-2400 CAS/CL10 if you feed it enough power. Pretty good RAM. In an Intel system, you might get these sticks running in the 2600-2900 range . . .
CPUs
AMD Phenom X4 somethingorother. It's Agena, it's a quad, and yeah I don't remember exactly which part #.
AMD Phenom II X2 2xx(?) It's a dually, probably a 220 or something. It isn't one of the e-designated parts. No idea if it'll unlock. Total crapshoot!
AMD A10-7700k - fully delidded, with CLU dubiously splattered here and there. The delid/relid went great on this CPU, but removing it after the relid was sketchy. The lid stuck to the HSF, and there was CLU under that lid, so . . . anyway it didn't kill the board! Not sure if the CPU is still good, if CLU got onto the wrong parts of the CPU's PCB. This thing did 4.7 GHz back in the day. No packaging outside of the plastic clamshell + foam it's in now.
AMD A10-7870k - Not delidded (it's soldered). It has had some CLU on it, and it's still installed in the A88x-Pro. So the silkscreened print on the IHS is probably gone. Big whoop. It'll hit 4.7 GHz at lower voltage than the 7700k above. For some reason, switching to this CPU made me unable to boot 3 dGPUs on the A88x, which was weird. Not 100% sure why that happened.
PSUs
Seasonic X-1250 - No original packaging. I know I have a bag of cables for it. Just a matter of finding them all. This unit has given me nothing but headaches since I bought it. The first unit wouldn't power up anymore, so I sent it in for warranty and got this one as a replacement. It DOES power up, and has faithfully done so for over a year, but I have my doubts about its ability to reliably deliver clean power. I experienced weird problems trying to run any of my cards above 800 MHz or so (except my Pitcairn, lulz) on the system powered by this PSU. All the cards would do much better than that on my system powered by my EVGA unit. So it was either the K9A2 Plat not playing along nicely, or it was the PSU. None of the PSU cables showed signs of melting/burnout so at least there's that.
And now, without further ado . . .
GPUs
Sapphire R9 290 - for parts only. It sort of works but not really, some of the time? I found a loose capacitor when trying to deal with cracked/worn out TIM on the GPU, and the cap broke loose and it's been downhill ever since. No workie. No packaging.
Sapphire R9 290 - works, but likes to overheat. Badly. I have already tried TIM replacement on this once. I think it has Kyronaut? Didn't use the CLU on it, that I can recall . . . anyway, pop it open and have a look! Also, BIOS modded. No packaging.
Gigabyte R9 290 - works, but is BIOS modded. Original box.
XFX R9 290 - works, but is BIOS modded. Original box.
(2) Sapphire R9 290 Vapor-X - worst mining cards evar. Well, not really. But they suck power, and BIOS modding didn't help much. Both are modded with the same BIOS. They have a switch, and only one of the BIOSes is modded. And yeah, they work. No packaging.
Sapphire R9 290 Tri-X - works, but is BIOS modded. It has a switch, I think. No packaging.
MSI R9 390 Gaming - works, but likes to overheat a little? It should do okay for gaming duty. And yes, it's BIOS modded. May not be suitable for primary display, either (due to the BIOS mod). Original box.
(2) XFX R9 390 - both work, both are BIOS modded. Damn fine cards overall. They have BIOS switches. Original box (for both)
Powercolor R9 390 - possibly my favorite 390. Its friggen yuge though. Also, it does work, and yes it's BIOS modded. It has a switch. Original box.
And last but not least:
Sapphire R9 270 2GB - Yay Pitcairn! It works and is not BIOS modded (I don't think?). My first ever mining dGPU. No packaging.
About the BIOS mods
Long story short, I modded a lot of these cards, to good effect. But flashing all these cards back to stock would require me pulling my Vega FE to use a non-conflicting driver stack blah blah blah. Anyway Vega + Hawaii = dog's breakfast. I'm too lazy to mess with all that. I have copies of all the original BIOS files for anyone that needs them. It is not hard at all to flash these cards under Windows, and I have done so multiple times without incident. Some of the cards will boot into primary display duty "just fine" with a modded BIOS, but at least one of them - the MSI 390 - may not play ball with you. Also, I generally do not recommend flashing any of these cards when they are given primary display duty. Just my $.02 on that.
About mining
These cards were all used for mining, and all but maybe one of the XFX cards were used when I got them. No idea how much they'll last before they develop quirks. Some of them already have quirks. A few of these cards, like the Vapor-X cards, spent most of their time underclocked. The MSI 390, XFX 390s, Powercolor 390, 290 Tri-X, and XFX 290 were undervolted/overclocked. I think the Gigabyte 290 spent most of its time undervolted/overclocked as well. The Pitcairn was overclocked much of the time too, though it was taken out of service about a year ago, so it hasn't seen as much action as the other cards.
Other Crap
Some 1x -> 16x PCIe riser cables - all powered! These are the "good ones", relatively-speaking. There are 8 of them. No packaging.
PCIe 1x 802.11somethin adapter - I think it's 802.11ac. Anyway it works in Linux as an n adapter so that's all that mattered to me. It's nothing but a card for laptops plugged into a desktop PCIe adapter. Pretty ghetto, but it works. No packaging.
Rosewill PCIe 1x 802.11ac wireless adapter - Same as above, but has a Rosewill heatsink on it.
Generic 150 mbps 802.11n USB wireless adapter - it's cheap, it works, I don't need it anymore. No packaging.
(7) Silicon Power Blaze05 USB 3.0 32GB flash drives - Still in the original packaging. It's a damn good thing I ordered these in bulk. They are easily the worst flash drives I've ever used for USB boot. I have a Sandisk drive that ran for maybe a year and a half as a boot stick in the Gigabyte board, but boot stick duty in the MSI board killed two of the Silicon Power drives. And they're ponderously slow in a USB 2.0 slot, for whatever reason. So bad.
Noctua NH-d14 - lapped and fully corrupted by CLU. It's been a workhorse since 2009. Damn good HSF. No packaging, though I'm pretty sure I can find the alan wrench for it if I look hard enough. All the AMD mounting hardware is currently on the A88x-Pro.
Delta EFC1212D 120x25mm fan - 100 cfm of loud-ness. Currently has my NH-d14's fan clips installed (they can be removed). No packaging.
Some Nidec Servo 120x38mm fan - it's currently strapped to my NH-d14 with the part # facing the HSF. I can cut it away from the NH-d14 on request. It is also a 100 cfm fan, and if I recall, it has better static pressure numbers than the Delta. Also nice and loud. No packaging.
No one has posted in three years and you just necro posted. What's the point?Oh my gosh i can't believe this thread is alive after 19 years...
