Where are yall finding these for sale?

Just ordered my Areca 1880ix last night and one of the common issues is the RoC and Expander chip seem to run excessively hot.

Computurd watercooled his and dropped his temps by 50 degrees c. Now...

Do you have a link for where you got the copper HSF for the expander chip?
Also does RoC use the same size? I just ordered my 1880ix tonight so i dont have it yet :)
Did yours come with pushpins...

Cant wait for the full write up!!!

Taking it out couldnt hurt.

You can pick up an ES L5640 on ebay for around $400. Cheaper way to get 12 threads compared to the 980x.
Now of course it prob wont clock as high as the 980x but you still be able to pull...

Not a memory expert but this looks like it would work....

Still waiting for these to become available:shrug:

Would this also work for mobo BIOS?

I have to add some CPU micro code to a BIOS I have and when I do i get ROM checksum error and can no longer POST.
Any ideas?
