Best Practices For Building A Multiple GPU System

[Notiusweb]

The ASROCK RACK 3U8G-C612 8-WAY GPU SERVER reminds me a lot of my eight GPU Tyan server, except all of my GPUs in the old Tyan are in the rear.

How do the temps run with these, it doesn't appear that you would watercool it (or maybe yes?). I liked looking at the ASROCK RACK 3U8G-C612 manual where it talked about air flow, it never really talks of max temp, although it lists these cards as part of its QVL (Qualified Vendors List):

1 Intel Intel Xeon phi Coprocessor 5110P
2 NVIDIA NVidia GEFORCE GTX TITAN BLACK
3 NVIDIA NVidia Tesla K40
4 NVIDIA NVidia Tesla K80
5 NVIDIA NVidia Tesla C2050
6 NVIDIA NVidia Tesla C2075
7 NVIDIA NVidia Tesla P100
8 NVIDIA NVidia GTX1080
9 MSI MSI Twin Forzer GTX680 (NVidia GeForce GTX680 )
10 AMD AMD W600
11 AMD AMD R5000
12 AMD AMD W9100
13 AMD AMD S9100
14 AMD AMD S9150
15 AMD AMD S9170

Hey guys,

Sorry to chime in late. Does the X10DRX have open ended PCIe slots? So we could effectively insert 11 - 16x slot cards?

Only 8 if them are open - the last ones.

Huh?... Can this mobo have 6 dual-slotted gpu on it..?

I see those small pci slot on the mobo, Does the gpu needs only that first small slot?

If so, then this mobo can i.e. run 6x 1080 watercooled without having (Smicha ) to cut them and make them singleslotted?

Only 4 - I was thinking about it but there is another reason - there is only Lian li case that can handle this mobo...it has to have 11 pcie IO brackets.

here you go

Aha, those brackets and even cases can be a bottleneck when looking at the whole picture
... everytime it is a puzzle and you have the knowledge pieces
We do not need wikipedia, we have Wikismicha

There is another option I am thinking about now: open top pcie ports - simply cut them (I know something about cutting ) and install 11 gpus on water single slotted. Just thinking about 11 sli water terminal now - 7+7 with 3 outlets blocked. And surely a custom case.

Then the OR 20 gpu limit can be reached with one master and one slave PC... That would be topnodge!

Guys,

Do you know anything about pricing of the Klimax 210?
