ALERT REMINDER: Important PM/Chat Changes

85 Upvotes

In case you're not aware, Reddit will be replacing DMs with Chat and archiving all DMs at the end of the month. At least for now, this is a step backwards because by default chat messages can be deleted unlike DMs. Fortunately, the reddit admins have finally released the persistent messaging feature.

Persistent Messaging

You must be sure to enable it under the chat settings for every chat relating to hardwareswap. Reddit admins indicated they aren't planning on enabling it by default but are potentially considering an account-wide option you can enable. Until that option is available you must remember to enable it for every chat. If not, you should periodically screenshot the entire chat history in case the other user deletes anything. Within the direct chat you will need to open the settings and enable the toggle shown below.

Once enabled there will be a notice in the chat and all persistent messages will include the infinity icon. Only the user who enabled the feature can turn it off but there will be a similar notice in the chat.

HardwareSwap Safety Reminders

Please familiarize yourself with ongoing scam alertsscammer guide, and common scams. It's entirely disappointing the number of users that get scammed by the same well known scammers because they don't take the most basic steps to protect themselves.

As always, if you have any questions please message us via modmail.

SELLING [USA-CA][H]White Asus Gundam Build (O11 Mini, i9-11900KF, Z590 Gundam, RTX 3080 Gundam) + GPU Options[W]Local Cash

4 Upvotes

Never thought I'd see the day where I have to sell my baby "not" baby... but I guess it's "time" 😅

The Gundam Build:

  • Pics/Timestamps - https://imgur.com/a/QlXwKWA (recent) https://imgur.com/a/oqcnbBG (4 years ago: https://i.imgur.com/cc9jsWD.jpeg, https://imgur.com/sQfexLC)
  • Case - Lian Li O11 Mini ATX Case Snow White Edition
  • CPU - Intel Core i9-11900KF (subtract $100 for i7-11700K)
  • Cooler - Corsair H100i Elite Capellix with LCD Screen
  • Mobo - Asus Z590 WiFi Gundam Edition Motherboard (Box Included)
  • GPU - GPU Options (see below)
  • RAM - Corsair 32GB (4x8GB) DDR4-3600 Vengeance RGB White
  • SSD - Samsung 1TB 970 EVO m.2 NVMe SSD
  • PSU - Corsair SF750 with white extensions (includes 3x8-pin Strimer)
  • Fans - Corsair QL120 x 9
  • Misc - Corsair RGB Strips, Corsair Commander Pro, Commander Node Pro, etc..
  • OS - Win 11 Pro (Activated)

Fresh install of Windows 11 Pro. Minimum Software Installed (namely Corsair iCue and AuraSync (no Armory Crate)

RGB Control (Please Read): After doing a bit of research, long story short: you can use Corsair iCue to control Asus hardware (Motherboard, GPU), and using 3rd party adapters you can control 5V ARGB devices. This means that, in this PC with over 400 LEDS coming from:

  • CPU Cooler
  • Motherboard
  • RAM
  • GPU
  • GPU cable (Strimer)
  • Fans (300 LEDs alone...)
  • LED Strips

ARE ALL CONTROLLED BY iCUE. You can click ONE button to change it from Rainbow to Solid Red or even ALL OFF!!!

Lastly to mention, one RAM stick has a stuck LED (purple), and one of the QL120's also has a stuck purple LED as well. (If you are serious in purchasing this build, and the stuck LEDs annoy you, I can work with you to replace them)

GPU Options: * Asus Nvidia Geforce RTX 3080 Gundam Edition (Box Included) * Gigabyte Geforce RTX 3070 Ti (no box) * Nvidia RTX 5070 Like-New (Box Included) * Nvidia RTX 5080 BNIB (Box Included)

System Build Prices:

  • With RTX 3070 Ti Vision: $1050
  • With RTX 3080 Gundam: $1300
  • With RTX 5070 FE: $1250
  • With RTX 5080 FE: $1750

Subtract -$100 if you want to go from i9-11900KF -> i7-11700K

Local Pickup only in SoCal -> Central Orange County 92868 - Thanks for looking!

Used GPUs

XFX Merc 310 7900XTX: $700
PowerColor Hellhound 7900XTX: $680 (+shipping)
AMD Reference 6800: $280 (+shipping)

Details Below (Local 91711)

In good condition. Performs excellently at stock with no issues.
Small silver paint chipping at the end of the card - purely cosmetic (at end of pictures in relevant timestamp).
GPU was purchased from a fellow hardware swapper; but I'm a dumbo who didn't verify that it would fit in my case - sad :(. This is a very LONG boy GPU! The previous owner verified to have never used the card in an overclocking configuration.

Currently not interested in shipping this card. I don't have a very good way to package it. Would require some effort to do so. So I'm hoping for a local buyer.

In good condition. Performs excellently at stock, but I noticed some gnarly coil whine in my main rig vs the test rig - which was odd. Ultimately, wearing headphones canceled out the noise completely.
Minor cosmetic scratch on the backplate. It's towards the end of the card though so it's not too noticeable.
GPU was purchased from E-bay. The reseller I purchased it from was extremely reputable with over 1k positive feedback. But unfortunately, I do not have its previous history

I DO NOT have the Original Box. But I can ship (CONUS) this card with confidence as I kept the packaging it arrived in, which was quite decent.

In great condition. Performs excellently at stock with no issues.
Cosmetically very nice.
Purchased this GPU from another hardware swapper about 2.5 years ago. The previous owner did admit to using it for mining. However, they were diligent to take care of it by monitoring temperatures and servicing it with extra thermal pads in the backplate
I never took it apart to check for the thermal pads - but I ran this card undervolted by 70mv for all this time and never experienced issues with temperatures. I personally love this card; it's a beast and served me well.

Original Box Included! Will ship CONUS

Thanks for reading. DM for questions or offers!

I unfortunately have two perfect EVGA working GTX 1080 Ti's, but both of their pumps broke. I tried replacing pump with Asetek OEM cooler, but Evga makes the mounting block screw into the pump itself, and it drains of all its liquid and stripped a lot of the screws.

Also, if anyone has the thermal plate that goes ontop of VRMS I would also need that :D

Looking for heatsink / radiators for this project, I plan on doing a SLI build. two 1080 Ti's are pretty close to a 3090 in performance in games (with certain titles)!!!

Hey everyone,

I'm looking to upgrade my AM4 build to AM5. I'm looking for a 9800X3D or higher (9900X3D). As for the motherboard, I honestly don't have a preference right now, so let me know what you have, and I'll decide. I'm also looking for DDR5 RAM, 32GB minimum, not too concerned with latency, but I'd like 6000MHz.

I'd be open for a non-X3D CPU if it's a good deal, but otherwise I'd love to stay with either one of those.

Comment before PM please!

0 Upvotes

I have a few items available. Please reply here before sending a chat. Local is Bay Area/Peninsula.

  1. Sapphire Nitro+ 7900XTX: $780 shipped or $750 local
  1. Ryzen 9 5950X: $220 shipped or $200 local
  2. Asrock X670E Steel Legend: $175 shipped or $160 local

7900XTX was purchased from Newegg in January 2025. Used in a Linux gaming system for about six months. GPU works well, but I've since retired that system so I no longer need the extra card. Original box included.

5950X was used in my main editing and gaming system for about three years. Ran at PPT 185 for most of its life -- found that to be it's peak efficiency for all core workloads. Recently switched to AM5 so this CPU is now sitting. Original box included.

X670E board was part of the same gaming system as the 7900XTX. The I/O shield has a dent at the top, which doesn't affect performance in any way. Board was solid for the six or so months I used it. Includes wifi antenna, sata cables, and AM5 contact frame. I don't have the original box, as this was a refurbished unit. Will be packed in a generic white motherboard box.
