GPU Rendering Machine Help

[adammichell]

Hi

 

I'm fairly new to computer building, I need some help with a new build that will be used for GPU rendering.

 

I recently built a machine with 3x GTX 980Ti's and now how some budget to build a second machine.

It's works well however when rendering the GPUs get pretty hot - up to 90 - 95 degrees Celsius! Should I be worried?

 

Ideally I'd love to build a separate GPU box with 10 GPUs in (the more the better), is this possible?

 

OR whats the best way to keep the GPUs cool when rendering? 

 

Many Thanks

Those GPU boxes are part of the Tesla line. They have 16 Tesla cards in them and cooling is integral (and it sounds like a jet engine when running.) Can you really afford it?

you`ll need to use a small loan of a million dollars for that

Its for work so maybe I'll ask nicely! Thanks guys, time to Google Tesla's..

ahhh, that explains a lot, (you`ll need to quote people to let them notice that you`ve said someting to them)

But maybe Titan X`s would be better for that?

Best way to keep your 3 980ti's cool so you can render without throttling would be to build a good custom water loop. You'll probably want about 480mm of rad space, it should leave you with a little bit of thermal room for a modest over clock. 

 

I would recommend EK for your water blocks, pump, res, and compression fitting. Go Primochill for the tubing, use 3/8 5/8. It's slightly more flexible, allowing you to have tighter loops without kinking and will still have more than enough flow to cool your units.
