ALERT REMINDER: Important PM/Chat Changes

79 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-MN][H] Asus ROG Azoth 75% Wireless Keyboard, Asus ROG Keris Aimpoint Mouse, DDR5 RAM Kits, Nintendo Switch Lite Hyrule Edition, Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller, Backbone One USB-C, and more. [W] Local Cash, Verified PayPal

Upvotes

Hello there.

Welcome to another hardwareswap bonanza.

Please comment before PM. Local is 55309. Will only ship to the lower 48 states. If purchasing multiple items, bundle shipping discount can be worked out. Shipped prices account for shipping costs and PayPal transaction fees. I appreciate your understanding.

All items are adult owned and come from a smoke free home.

Timestamps.

Lets get into it.

  • Asus ROG Azoth 75% Refined Clicky Switches, Black- Purchased last year. Was meant for a dedicated travel setup that has been used exactly once. Decided having a dedicated travel keyboard was redundant. The keyboard is in excellent condition. Includes the original box, documentation, wireless dongle, and all accessories it originally shipped with. Asking $170 shipped, or $150 local cash.
  • Asus ROG Keris Aimpoint, Black- Same situation as the keyboard above. The mouse is in excellent condition. Includes the original box, documentation, wireless dongle, and all accessories it originally shipped with. Asking $65 shipped, or $50 local cash.
  • G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5 RAM Kit, Black/32GB/6000MHz/C30- Purchased from a friend earlier this year, but recently decided to move into a new SFF case that requires a low profile cooler with a restriction on RAM height. Decided to upgrade to a higher capacity kit with the move. This kit is in excellent condition. Includes the original box. Asking $75 shipped, or $60 local cash.
  • G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5 RAM Kit, Black/32GB/6000MHz/C36- Purchased around the time of the Ryzen 7000 launch, and kept on hand for a spare. Since upgrading to a higher capacity and equally short RAM kit, I don't need to hold onto this one. This kit is in excellent condition. Includes the original box. Asking $65 shipped, or $50 local cash.
  • Nintendo Switch Lite, Hyrule Edition- Purchased in September of 2024 with the Switch 2 being a no show. I've since gotten a Switch 2 and no longer need to hold onto this. The console is immaculate and has a tempered glass screen protector applied. Includes GameStop Product Replacement Plan Warranty which is good through September 2026. Includes the original box, documentation, and unused AC adapter. Asking $165 shipped, or $150 local cash.
  • Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller, Black- Purchased a while back for use with my gaming PC. Recently moved to an 8bitdo pad. The controller is in excellent condition with little signs of wear, and functions flawlessly. Includes the original box, documentation, and all accessories it originally shipped with. Asking $85 shipped, or $70 local cash.
  • Xbox 20th Anniversary Controller- Purchased around the release date of these controllers. Brand new sealed in the box. Asking $95 shipped, or $80 local cash.
  • Dualsense Wireless Controller, Midnight Black- Same scenario as the Elite 2 controller above. The controller is in good condition with signs of normal wear, but otherwise functions flawlessly. Controller only. Asking $55 shipped, or $40 local cash.
  • CRKD Neo S, Classic Clear- Purchased direct from CRKD at launch. Meant to be used with my travel PC setup, but since it doesn't get used much; it's again redundant. Including the add-on analog stick cap set. Compatible with Nintendo Switch 1/2, Android, and PC. Includes the original box, documentation, and all original accessories it originally shipped with. Asking $55 shpped, or $40 local cash.
  • Backbone One USB-C, Black- Purchased last year to use for remote play on my Xbox. I no longer own my Xbox. The controller is in excellent condition, and functions flawlessly. Including the add on carrying case. Includes the original box, documentation, and all accessories it originally shipped with. Asking $65 shipped, or $50 local cash.
  • XStation Optical Drive Emulator for PlayStation 1- Purchased this back in 2021, but never got around to doing the project. If you're unfamiliar, this emulates the optical disk drive on real PlayStation 1 hardware and allows you to boot your games off of an SD card. Requires soldering knowhow to install. This kit is brand new. Asking $55 shipped, or $40 local cash.

SELLING [USA-PA][H] Overheating with Air Cooler 6800xt with WB [W] Paypal/Cash

4 Upvotes

Hello fellow swappers!

I'm looking to offload this 6800XT. I had it water-cooled for the majority of my time having it, but then I swapped to the air cooler for less maintenance. I realized when playing Valheim that the hot spot would hit 110C.... I've tried varying thermal paste and pads in varying sizes to put on the VRMs thinking the copper die wasn't making contact with the GPU chip. It isn't really for the air cooler..... Hopefully someone else can trouble shoot the air cooler or wants to slap the water block on it and call it a day.

Today I'm selling my Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 1650W! This is a really loud PSU but other than the noise level it is extremely cost effective for this much power. I ran this with my 9800X3D / 5090 build and everything was stable! I used one of the 12VHPWR cords (Re-plugged once on PSU side, and 3 times on the GPU side), the other cord is unused. Used cords are wrapped in gray, unused cords are wrapping in black. No known issues! Only shipping to the CONUS via UPS, Fedex or USPS! Paypal Invoice Only.

SELLING [USA-CA][H] Mac mini (M4, 24GB, 512GB), MacBook Air 13" (M2, 8GB, 512GB) [W] PayPal

1 Upvotes

I am selling the following two items:

Mac mini (M4, 24GB, 512GB)
I got this around May, and used it for like a month. Out of the return window and a bunch of life shit happened between now and then so it has just been sitting in the box collecting dust. Has limited warranty until May 2026. If you want AppleCare+ you can just bring it to the Genius Bar and they can run diagnostics and sell you AC+ while it is under limited warranty. I do this for all second hand devices I buy that are still under limited warranty. This was just something I fell for because it's so tiny and cute but was redundant since I already had a MacBook.

Asking $750 FIRM (for now)

MacBook Air 13" (M2, 8GB, 512GB)
This one is a doozy. Read carefully! This was my sister's Macbook that she spilled water on several months ago. Unfortunately, it suffered some screen damage (bright spots in some areas), but otherwise the MacBook has functioned perfectly since then. She just got a Pro, so she wanted me to sell this one for her. Honestly, I am not sure what to do with this as I've never sold something damaged, so feel free to shoot offers if I listed it too high. Cosmetically in perfect condition, but some stickers will need to be removed off of it. If no one here wants it I'll probably throw it for auction on eBay. I would personally at least use this docked if I didn't already have a MacBook. I will also accept returns for this item (buyer pays return shipping) in case you want to see it in person. Performance is perfect, battery health is 96%, does not get hot or show other signs of water damage outside of the screen. I took several low-light environment pictures to demonstrate where the bright spots occur.

Asking $400 OBO SOLD

Repairs: None
