On the top right it should say "Sorry this item is no longer available" and if you click on the seller, their page shows that they are on holidays.

The seller shut down their whole store, but marked my orders as shipped. So they may honour their mispricing, which would be unusual but commendable. Or I might receive a bunch of stones...

I got my order propably sent already. I got tracking number and everything. I paid 178 euro for H11SSL-i and 7551P with klarna too so i have 30 days to pay. Hopefully i get the parts and not rocks...

I have a couple of orders on the way too - H11DSi, H11SSL-i, and just a few sticks of DDR4 sadly. All show as shipped via EMS now.

Let's hope any of it is real. Really hard to tell.
I suggest taking pics of the boxes and unboxing on video in case you do have to go through the dispute process. I know I will be doing that...

I was tempted to try some of the epyc boards for some storage nodes, but this feels like 50/50 if getting the right boards or something they hope is close enough to get accepted.
Just grabbing a few more of these was the safe route.

Its the board from the custom GT86CB5630 version that ebay was flooded with for a while.
1767604352559.png
OCP v2 x8 slot
Regular x16 slot with x4/x4/x4/x4 or x8/x4/x4.
oculink with x8 or x4/x4.

I already have a few of these with 2x 40gbe in the OCP and the x8/x4/x4 riser with 9400-16i in the top x8 slot.

4 nvme drives from the x4/x4 on riser and x4/x4 oculink.
16x sas/sata from the 9400-16i
12x sata from chipset

Ended up as my "good enough" for last round of nodes and with prices of x11spl/h11ssl/h12ssl now i just ended up with more of these.

A totally unrelated comment but since when does it matter? :)

There is this x12spa-tf Pardon Our Interruption...

$480.00 negotiable. RAM clips are broken but seller claims it works. Could be worth it for someone who can fix it.

It’s a controversial opinion but it breaks my heart to see an enterprise SSD waiting in a box, or a perfectly good server motherboard switched off for the lack of workload! I am sentimental with computer hardware! I have setup automated ebay searches, will likely post good deals I find but can’t justify seizing up.

I was referring to my comment being offtopic. Posting about an intel motherboard. I did not mean to offend you at all.

No offense was taken. I just thought you meant “since when does it matter to be full with MB”! Which is a bit of a gluttony for computer hardware we are all guilty of here!

No no. I was talking about my comment being unrelated (a xeon board in an epyc thread). I will make sure to be more clear the next time :)

I do feel a unhealthy urge to make a lowball offer on those 3, after seeing those 35-40$ gen3 26x1.4ghz it feels like i could do with some x12 boards.

Man, finding rails for these guys has been rough. Can't find any tyan rails that I can see...

Thinking it's time to take the burr to my generic rails to see if I can make them work.. Anyone have any luck with rails?

Oh, and as part of the contribution to the original discussion. Ordered a full build + 1 more mobo. Vendor has put it as shipped, arrival in a month or so. Here's hoping it's at least semi decent.
