Only selling because I was in the process of buying all the components for a 2nd custom gaming rig build and since the DDR5 RAM prices are ungodly expensive (thanks AI) I have no interest in spending a $1000+ on 64gb of RAM. When I built my 1st rig 64GB was only several hundred dollars. I removed most of the thermal paste. Except for being installed the CPU is basically brand new. If you have any questions feel free to shoot me an email. Asking $300 firm. Willing to meet partway if traveling distance is an issue.
