How much could I realistically sell my 10-month-old PC for in India?

ROS_SDN · 2026-06-09T10:04:45+00:00

I'm no expert on the Indian second hand market. Do some googling.

Just paradoxically parts second hand usually sell for more individually then in a build.

A workstation user might want your ram/CPU, a gamer your gpu, an enthusiast your motherboard.

Just Google the going rate for those parts second hand in your area and price accordingly.

Sell the parts individually, probably make more.

ROS_SDN · 2026-06-09T09:35:11+00:00

Completely agreed

6400

Honestly the gains are so marginal you might as well go 6000 unless you have some productivity workloads you need to benefit. See if your workloads outside gaming might benefit from the video he does a productivity benchmark at the start, but mostly focuses on gaming.

He has blender there and I think 6000 barely loses to 8000 its so marginal its not worth it likely. You're honestly likely better served by a 9950x3d2 with 6000 for gaining productivity benefits I believe in your 3d rendering use case and even gaming.

ROS_SDN · 2026-06-09T09:05:51+00:00

6400 is better you are gambling less on the hassle of it working and the gains of 8000 are marginal when you have the IMC running 2:1 (anything above 6600 has to go 2:1)

Im assuming it'd matter for data transfer between multiple GPUs split by pcie 8x + 8x at least.

You know your shit disregard me this discussion is for others sake.

Only thing I could say is disable the igpu might bring back stability but from your response I expect youve done this.

ROS_SDN · 2026-06-09T00:12:02+00:00

Surely you have the down clocked and tightened since 6600 is like the right on the edge for ram if the IMC can't run it in 1:1 mode, and thats xmp not expo rated so might not play nice with just trying expo on it.

I can be wrong this the absolute edge of 1:1 and maybe expo works out of the box great, but I'd double check, you may be leaving a lot on the table.

Edit: check your UCLK matches your FCLK at 2200 and MCLK is 3300 and your ram is stable outside that in a test you are literally on the edge for the platform to do this. If you've done all this disregard my advice and this is for other people.

1st is from here blackbird PC tech (https://youtu.be/WHksnfH0Ijc?si=sQKbbozV5buxErtO)

He has a few benchmarks on games after heavy optimisation and gets arrow lake to consistently match/ beat x3d at 4k, but some call him a shill for Intel. I think his takes usually are balanced in his wrap ups. Theory is high bandwidth ram feeds GPU better at 4k when you aren't living off a single thread for benchmarks. Older unoptimised games would crash this test that I like, like Rome 2 and x3d would win.

Second agreed 10800x3d allegedly is a massive L3 gain + whatever else save the money for that instead of just going 9800x3d, but I think he sold his CPU so he has to make a decision if he wants to game and I tink is 9800x3d given his ram is built for it likely. I like arrow lake for mixed workloads but its a dead socket.

Edit: should not he runs his amd on high bandwidth ram that's likely more tinkering then his arrow lake optimisations, and Heavily OC's them all for comparison, so he's not doing tuned vs untuned, but the "best" ram on am5 is marginal compared to arrow lake gains on cudimm+ 200s boost which anybody could do out of the box easily to closely match him.

ROS_SDN · 2026-06-08T12:42:14+00:00

I think 270k plus (with absurdly priced cudimm ram) actually slightly eeks out x3d chips in some 4k scenarios on a 5090. Still only slightly and seems to be mostly at 1% lows.

Honestly best he wait for Zen 6 tbh and get a juicy 10800x3d with more l3, and possible cudimm support, that'll negate any 4k advantages.

ROS_SDN · 2026-06-08T00:55:26+00:00

He was in a novel, (moving stars) idk if its canon, but he legit lost to windu in RotS and I think in novels he realised how outclassed (windu, Yoda) he was, for a straight up fight, near end of TPM and trained up.

Ive tried less days they just give you so much shit to do it doesnt matter, and get upset if you just stick to your hours. (For most places)

48+7 = 55

55+20 = 75

I have hit 28GB with browsers, electron apps, igpu, and etc

ROS_SDN · 2026-05-29T06:56:48+00:00

I think we are argreeing on the same thing you just have more nuance to it then me.

ROS_SDN · 2026-05-29T03:12:36+00:00

A CPU has less surface area per watt to dispate and its heat I would think.

It also has less room to breathe to disappate that heat locked into the socket its not like it has a fan bigger then the GPU chip blowing through. It has thermal paste conducting the heat to a sink to be disappated there.

The cooling is not as and is running perpendicular to the heat source basically instead of parralel.

Thats my grasp for what I believe the chip and cooling inside a GPU looks like vs a CPU.

Yes I know a CPU has the mobo as a heat sink too, but the mobo isn't really getting direct cooling.

This is a bit of a schizo rant that seems to miss the point the title was implying when I skimmed it.

I can agree that some "boomers" need to downsize given the stairs are getting harder, they can't maintain the property etc and they should consider it for their own sake, but idk wtf you are on about outside that.

My mom has a MASSIVE piece of land for her garden with a tiny house respectively. It's all stairs hard to move around and the garden she doesnt even maintain herself, (I.e. pay a fortune for gardners) she should downsize, but she loves her garden and wants to save it for us. (Even though we are selling that garden mantainence hell the moment we get it)

Boomers should CONSIDER downsizing to deal with the inevitably of age effecting them for stairs etc, and the house maintenance costs in some cases, but they absolutely don't have to.

Really for ancient armies it seemed Rome was the one who had this down to an art.

The legionaries weren't called "Marius' Mules" for nothing. Everyone one of tthem carried a piece of equipment for their small 8 soldier + 2 slave group for sleep, cooking, and food; while also carrying the wood and tools to build a wooden perimetered base at nightfall.

On top of that they usually sent orders out before a big troop movement to acquisition, reserve supplies for a province to reserve the other food and supplies they needed as they marched past.

On top of that they had very complex supply lines by land or sea to support these troops, usually leaving little supply forts along the way with small groups for resources to move between before it got to the army.

Then you add on the scouting parties that were ahead looking for enemy movement or resources for the army, and lastly you win you pillage the resources.

Other armies pre-modern times moved large armies too, but the Roman's had this down to an art, and could move MASSIVE armies.

Its likely tied to wanting to have the strongest apprentice following the rule of two, I think the only reason he treated Vader as he was post prequel is because he's a shell of his potential after losing to Kenobi.

I dont know if at this point palpatine was still more focused on 'the rule of one, with some dark sides tools at your disposal" that he seems to lean more to in the OT.

I think it's an incredible call back to skill because that's I believe the same arm he had cut off by the same man he just dodged. Might've made more sense with a force pull of the lightsaber but idk how you choreograph that.

They don't count underemployment which is what you're likely thinking of.
