    Try listing them in the 'For Sale' section of the EVGA Marketplace. You need a Heatware account to do this if you don't have one already. If they sell they sell. If they don't then no big loss, right?

    I have kept mine over the years also, and they still hold value as tangible precious metal. Melt them and make personalized bars and rounds?

    just trash them. I just threw out like 20 video card WB last night (I've been running 2 systems with 4 way SLI and i also upgrade a lot.. DON'T JUDGE ME! :) )
     
    1) holy crap do they weigh a ton. the trash bag was super heavy. (EK 980, titan x and 1080 WBs)
    2) the wife was SUPER happy they were gone :)
     
    reselling them would make more sense if EK made better blocks. Ie, same size thermal pad used all over the card :P pain in the butt.

    Hope your joking ? (1080 WB )
     
    You could have even donated (sell) for cost of shipping to help others -- unless they were corroded.
     
    Or at least recycled them.
     
    Happy wife, happy life

    99% of the thermal pads are the same. 1mm on the vrm and and .5mm on the VRam.

    You know you can cash them in for the copper right? Could have made a few bucks.
