OK first,
Core2Quad Q6600 for 150$ ? An i3 2100 which is faster than the Q6600 and OC-s alot more considering it's 32nm architecture is 120$
Second,
No one will spend 200$ on a motherboard on a system that is 4 generations old !
Third,
GTX 285 for 200$ ? Really ?
You can get a GT 640 that is the same performance as the 285 for 159$ + VAT a 28nm card !
And Fourth,
The DuOrb is 89$+VAT so that's 100$ TTC with 3$ shipping. 50$ isn't a bad deal on them but with newer, better and cheaper coolers in the market, you won't sell it very easily.

I suggest you lower your prices to be able to sell them.

MrClass

Yeah totally overpriced buddy

Dear AvoK95, I agree with you in some points but..

A golden Q6600 do worth 150$ for someone looking for a CPU not a full CPU+Board+Ram upgrade right ?

2nd i bought this board for 350$ where there was 3 newer generations on the market cuz i need it to OC the hell out of my Q6000 + SLI, and probably someone is looking for it somewhere..

3rd, come on man, the GT 640 is a total POS !!

GTX 285 is faster than a 560Ti !
GTX 285 is head to head with a GTX 570 !
GTX 285 in SLI is faster than 570 and head to head with GTX 580 !

Here is a comparison :

Memory Bandwidth:

GTX580 = 192384 MB/s
GTX285 = 158976 MB/s
GTX570 = 152000 MB/s
GTX560Ti = 128256 MB/s
GT640 = 57024 MB/s

Texel Rate:

GTX560Ti = 52608 Mtexels/s
GTX285 = 51840 Mtexels/s
GTX580 = 49408 Mtexels/s
GTX570 = 43920 Mtexels/s
GT640 = 28800 Mtexels/s

Pixel Rate:

GTX580 = 37056 Mpixels/s
GTX570 = 29280 Mpixels/s
GTX560Ti = 26304 Mpixels/s
GTX285 = 20736 Mpixels/s
GT640 = 14400 Mpixels/s

The only bad thing is that GTX285 doesn't support DX11 but wait, when it comes to performance vs eye candy, I always choose performance !

That's why I didn't upgrade them till now, no big deal, but when i saw the GTX680 running as fast as GTX580 in SLI while a single god damn GTX690 kills 3x 580's in TriSLI.... WTH !?!?

One last thing :P, i don't care if the parts sold or not, i could keep it cuz it's a hall system and my new one needs only a VGA..

; )

shant

where and how did you lap your processor?

Hi elmazad!!!!
1st these numbers mean nothing. Look at benchmarks instead of gpuz number. A gtx 460 is faster than 285 in everything and cost almost 200$ new. The cpu is golden i give u that but worth 100$ max (and am pushing it) i found the same mobo new for 240,000LL. The cpu cooler is old and frio is alot better and cheaper.

We can argue or we can just show u benchmarks. Look for gtx 460 reviews and u will see the difference between gtx 285 and 460. Also gtx 460 ocs ALOT.
Ur system is top notch back in the day. I know u payed good money to it and spent timw and effort, but u gotta let it go. Its just old, and if you ever plan to sell that cpu ill be happy to take it of ur hands.

Lost all credibility after i read that lol.

AvoK95

I would pay 70$ for one of your 285's to use it as a PhysX card in my new rig. Take it or leave it :P

I did it myself, i always do it for heavy OC's

Nope, your benchmarks means nothing ! I don't believe a benchmark from here or there, i only believe in a total mix of benchmarks & numbers & reviews ! an upgrade from 285 SLI to a 460 or 560ti or 570 even 580 doesn't worth it and that's what you find in every goddamn hardware forum I found except this one !

Too bad you only find this here in Lebanon, oh yeah sell tow 285gtx's and get the newer generation 640GT !!
or you know what get a 520 with 2GB ! WTH ?

Beej wroteThe cpu is golden i give u that but worth 100$ max (and am pushing it) i found the same mobo new for 240,000LL.

oh please... SL9UM batches worth 70~100$ while SLACR batches worth double !
270$ new @ Amazon, 140$ refurbished @ Newegg...

I will buy yours, 100$ in cash if you get me a Q6600 (SLACR batch) / G0 cores / VID 1.3 or lower...

and 240.000L.L "160$" for a new Asus Rampage Extreme board ! are you serious ? i'll take it from you gimme your number..

Beej wroteThe cpu cooler is old and frio is alot better and cheaper

I said

excellent CPU+RAM+MOS cooling option, I was able to run my G0 @ 3.4GHz for 24/7

I didn't say it's a superb cooling option for a cpu, it's a CPU/RAM/MOS cooler !
And i said i can get 3.4ghz with it, how the hell i get 4.2ghz then ? with a better cooler of-curse that will smoke your frio ! and how the hell the frio is cheaper when it's 54$ + VAT ?

I can smoke your frio with a baby corsair H60 cooler !
I have the worlds best 2 coolers, Noctua NH-D14 and Corsair H100 coolers, did you ever hear those names ? lol

Ahhh... i don't want to lost my time talking here, tow words...

1. I'm not selling vegetables ! :P take it or leave it..

2. I don't care if they were sold or not, if sold that means faster upgrades to the newer system, if not sold then the kids had a new toy for them :)

My new system built on a binned batch 2700K, Asrock Fatality Z68 Motherboard, Noctua NH-D14 Cooler, 16GB G.Skill RipJaws @CL6 , and 2x OCZ Vertex4 128GB SSD RAID-0 + 1.2TB storage & of-curse my 2x GTX 285 in SLI

I don't know why the hell if you try to sell something in an arabic forum you will start world war 3 !! :P
Every body here thinks that my used parts are overpriced and I'm trying to fool people if I try to sell them for as much as their international prices, but no one call any Lebanese hardware store a thief !! LoL

I'll get my EVGA GTX680 for 550$ while here in Lebanon you'll pay 800$ for innosh!t GTX680 !

Khaled

Don't blow a lung dude. . .

Everyone here is correct, your prices are way too high for used components, let alone overclocked.

And numbers mean nothing, benchmarks are what are important and 560ti destroys a gtx 285 no matter how you look at it so does the 560ti sli so i don't understand why you are defending your opinion on claims you WANT them to be true.

Anyway don't talk like you know more than the boys here because apparently they know more than you do. So respect what they say and don't defend your claims with non valid arguments.

MohammedSF

Oh am sorry khaled..

I forget to mention that parts were sold, case closed, 10x guys...

Khaled

Its alright I forgive you.

And anyway rethink of what the guys said you could learn a bit from them.

Anyway congrats on selling them.

I totally agree with this...check out this site http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html

the gtx 560ti scored 2992
and the gtx 285 scored 2073
