Hey guys thanks a lot for taking time to read this, I really want to upgrade to a gtx 1070 and what I wanted to do was sell my gtx 780ti with the EK full copper waterblock i have installed on it.

My question is, would it be hard for me to sell this in its current state? I've had the card on water for about a year and I carefully installed the waterblock myself with no issues, I even added some additional thermal pads on the vrms and ram mosfets to improve cooling further, I also added arctic silver 5 to the gpu. (The factory paste was kinda messy)

Below are links for the current prices I guess for what I want to sell.

So I realize this product only appeals to people into water cooling, and people that dont mind gaming on ultra settings at 1920x1080 V-sync. I also realize it does not appeal to people wanting to 4k game.

If I could sell this card in its current state, how would you sell it? whats the best plan here? Also, what would you sell it for?

Thank you

 
it is great that you have a waterblock in it, but most buyers of a second hand gpu will not have the money to use that waterblock, can you put back the stock cooler?

otherwise you would need to specify that you are selling it without the pump and give it at similar price as others found on amazon and ebay and see if someone is interested and how much they offer
 


Well heres the small issue with that stock cooler, yes I got the stock cooler, but unfortunately I do not have the screws that are needed to mount it back on. Not sure what I did with them. I got so many parts it's unreal and I would hate to include screws that are the wrong size for the purchaser 🙁

In all honesty I'm really willing to part with it for cheap, Like i mentioned before I'm just wanting to sell this current card to help fund my purchase of a good quality 1070 that's all. Btw thanks for your input!
