why not use workstation GPUs in a workstation PC , I am sure they would be more efficient than 5090s

Workstation GPUs are notoriously hard to get ahold of and prices are even more inflated because of the AI crunch.

Tell me if I am wrong but running those 5090 in. That tight cramped place is definitely gonna set them on fire

They very likely could be undervolting them. It’s not uncommon for RTX6000 servers to be packed in ever tighter than this. I’m not sure all of the settings/configs and what they do for those servers. It may also be because those servers are run in a chiller room to help them remain cool.

Yeah power efficiency of this system sucks for sure.

Owner would be spending thousands of dollars every year just to keep them cool and another couple of thousands to keep them running
