Excellent priorities. When building a $12K-$15K basement AI supercomputer, the money goes into the GPUs and making the critical functionality perform (PCIe retimer card?!)... but the monitoring console can be an old beige CRT, like people pay to have hauled away from the curb. :)
Decent late-generation color CRTs seem to be rising in price these days. Retro gamers like them. Its hard (expensive) to get the N64 to provide a satisfying picture on 1080p/4k TVs.
We had a system at an old job that someone had dubbed WOPR for no other reason than they liked the movie. A colleague and I wrote a similar system that filled in some gaps and decided that the best name for it was "Big Mac" to delightfully mix references. First thing I thought of.
I am wondering how you went over the p2p problem with the 4090. I thought it was disabled
> They don’t have p2p enabled
Would using 3090 be more cost effective ?
> Depends how you measure. Throughput per $ is higher for 4090s than 3090s at retail pricing.
> Comparing scalper 4090 to used mining 3090 a different story but people have reported those 3090s going bad after a while
This is amazing! :D How much did it all cost? (Perhaps you could add prices to the bill of materials page?)
> I’ll have to total it all up, I’m a little more low key when it comes to that sort of thing so I was kind of avoiding showing that. But maybe I’ll throw it in the FAQ
Great guide. Really surprised air cooling is enough. My single 4090 kicks out enough heat that it’s a miniature heater for my room. Also, only 512Mb RAM??
I come you can find the Foundation model with blower style fan. I’ve been scouring 4 of them for a 4x build.
I have the other style of fan in a dual build and the heat dispensation is bad.
It's a shame they won't make a pcie mi300x. It has about the same amount of compute/memory as this and if the rumor mill is right it would cost almost the same.
