New here running away from red**t, hope to join this super cool community and help it grow! Pardon if any part of my post is wrong or if not valuable enough haha

Everything below is free just pay ship (UPS strongly preferred, so prob best to get multiple) and anyone local to south FL hit my line as well!

2x16GB SK Hynix DDR4 ECC RAM
1x Thermaltake Smart 650W PSU in original box
4x VGA cable
3x DVI-D Single Link cable (99% sure can check when back from work)
3x DVI-D Dual Link to HDMI adapter
5x DisplayPort cable (unsure the exact versions for all)
4x HDMI cable (definitely no 2.1s they’re older and some might not work 100%)



Side note (I can remove this as I know it’s not a trade thread, but I am still giving the above regardless) I am looking for any Serial RS-232 cables and Serial to USB adapters, I’ve been messing around with some dell systems with the serial ports on them and well… I have no idea what to do with them lol but seeing online I can do terminal communication and idk see what other rabbit holes I can go down

does HDMI have dual link now ?
Click to expand...
HDMI 1.3 and beyond increased the data rate so that the reason for dual link in DVI (higher resolution displays) was taken care of. Because of that, nobody bothered to work on the dual link HDMI feature (which still exists, but requires a larger connector).

So, all passive HDMI to DVI converters (like the pictured ones) are single-link DVI only, meaning the max resolution is 1920x1200 at 32bpp. It would take some relatively expensive hardware to convert the higher resolution HDMI with 3 TDMS pairs into dual-link DVI with 8 TDMS pairs clocked at a lower rate.

I have a passive HDMI-DVI adapter that does Dual Link.

Ahh neat, I never pushed these past my 1080p/900p monitors and should’ve known it was passive without anything going on!! Thanks for the info pardon to mislead anyone

Funny because I can do 2560x1600 with that adapter. Magic?

Technically, single-link DVI can handle that resolution at a refresh rate around 30Hz.

But, my guess is that somewhere in the chain, a device is not telling the truth about the actual resolution.

I have an LSI 9240-8i card that I'm afraid I've bricked while attempting to flash to IT mode. If anyone here is in the San Jose area feel free to message and we can arrange a pickup.

I bet user Blinux can fix it. I would PM him.

Any idea what the drives are? Would you be willing to split those, and ship?
Click to expand...
I would expect them to be 2.4TB/ea max since the R815 has 6x SFF drive bays, but more than likely of the 300GB/600GB variety.
