Edit: FS:Anyone interested in this for ~$500?

Been meaning to sell this ages ago, but forgot. Been sitting in a corner for couple of years now. Ive been using this (with other parts) for my gaming/work pc for couple of years (ive upgraded to something better quite a while ago, ive salvaged few parts from this system, thus why its not a full system). Ideally like to sell all this together rather than parting it.


 


This is the bundle:


CPU: AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1920X
MOBO: Asus Prime X399-A
COOLER (AIO): NZXT x52
CASE: INWIN 301



The CPU is really powerful, ive used it for programming, code building, and game dev work back in the day, and it handles a heavy multi core work load amazingly well. It also handles gaming pretty decently as well so long as you pair it with a decent GPU (although, not to the same level as some of the high end gaming CPUs). Some of the cores can be overclocked for much better gaming performance (i tried a bit, but generally ran as stock since i mainly used it for work/code purposes). 


 


Needs a PSU (650w+), GPU, Ram, and an SSD (can potentially sell an SSD as well) to get going. 


 


Honestly have no idea what these are worth. First of all, can someone give me a rough idea of what something like this is worth (it costed an arm and a leg back in the day - but i have no clue what value it would be now days)? Secondly, is there anyone who would be interested in such bundle?


 


i know that a price is usually required for FS, but hopefully a price check is allowed in this forum? my intention is not to have people make offers and bid, i simply want to find a sensible price (based on any feedback i get), and then set that as the price. i honestly dont even know if anyone would want something like this either. If a price is absolutely required, i can set a completely random price, and adjust according to feedback.

That CPU eats my current setup for breakfast :D

 

Its a tricky one in a way..... for multi-threaded stuff, that CPU should still tick along happily, but for single core things, newer CPUs scream past it. 

 

Looking at Ebay, most are selling the CPU on its own for around $200NZD. If it was a complete system (RAM and PSU), Id say throw it on TM for $600 and see what happens.... 

 

Others views may vary :)

They are well known for multi-threaded tasks, so usually dev kits or testing kits for people that like to tinker. as XPD mentioned, for most gamers, they go for the single core performance and there are some beefy CPU's for reasonable pricing.

 

Ebay has them from $150-$500 but the average seems to be about $200. Considering adding some ram but otherwise I wold guestimate around $500.

 

CPU - 200

 

Case - 50

 

Mobo - 100-150

 

cooler - 100-150

 

It will be one of those that you need to find someone at the right time looking specifically for this.

 

You mention been sitting, so age would also depend on what you will get .

Last year I was considering a used TR, but anyone selling (in NZ at least) was asking stupid money. 

 

 

 

Depends how badly you want to offload it.

Around October last year someone was getting rid of a number of complete threadripper systems on trademe - pickup only in Wellington (looked like a going out of business fire-sale).
From memory these were auctioned/sold around $500 but I think they had the 1950x cpu, lots of ram and vega 64's.

 

I seriously considered one for a plex/gaming server but the power use put me off.

Doesn't hold up too well against modern Ryzen desktop processors which are also high core/thread count. Unfortunately it's ~6 years old so resale value will be lower than the price of a new current gen processor with equivalent performance.

Thanks for all the insight and responses, thank you all for taking the time.

Just for context, I'm not trying to get the top doller or anything, I know they don't hold up that well in performance with newer gen stuff (specially for gaming), but at the end of the day, it's price vs performance right? New gen stuff are still pretty expensive haha. I'm fully aware it would be lot less than what they were going for back in the day, after all, it's fairly old now. And yeah I've also seen people list them for stupid amounts of money, no idea what they are thinking either.

So for now, based on feedback, how about I set the price at about $500 ono for the bundle? (let me know if anyone thinks it's too high or unrealistic or anything - feedback always welcome).
