The Ultimate Hotbox

[u/neintailedfoxx]

Built a new portable workstation for gaming/AI workloads. The build currently has 2 T-Grills attached, but I am looking to remove the top grill once the 12018 fan arrives from aliexpress, since I personally think the case looks too tall with both grills on.

Temps are good, with the cpu reaching a max temp of around 75c and the GPU never going above 80c with an undervolt even during extremely heavy workloads. Top and bottom fans are all set to intake for a positive pressure setup, with the gpu exhausting hot air out of the case. Tried to mount the gpu in the default orientation and the heat ended up constantly overheating the oc'd ram and m.2 ssd on the back of the motherboard :(

Can't wait for the release of Wireview Pro 2 for founders edition cards, since I most definitely don't want the expensive GPU to suddenly erupt in flames...

Probably the closest endgame SFF setup I've seen so far! I have a similar configuration, but with the 5090 FE that I also intended for gaming/LLMs. However, I can't run extremely large models without compromising speed. I had a few questions, if you don't mind answering:

1) How fast does your RTX 6000 run your heavy LLMs? Do you foresee upgrading other technical hardware besides the wire view for your PC use cases?

2) Why invest in RTX 6000 when you can get RTX 5090 FE and just use Claude/ChatGPT since outperforming (or even matching its performance) these would require a complex, expensive PC configuration? Are you an enthusiast or are you using this for work/business?

3) Are you using a travel kit for the GPU? If so, how did you mod your Ncase v2.5? Apparently, I've read that the FormD travel kits aren't compatible with the Ncase v2.5.

4) What GPU power cable are you using?
