Hi,

Can NVlink combine the memory of two GPUs to a single memory?

I am interested in purchasing a similar machine, with four A6000s. My recommended wattage with these and a threadripper is already at 1800W. What did you do to solve this issue?

I went with an enterprise CPU (EPYC), draws less energy, and didn’t max out on the cores. If your voltage is 200V+ you can also go with a 2000W PSU, however, they are harder to come by. You can also cap the energy usage on the GPUs, but it’s non standard and reduces performance.

Seems stock for ASRock Creator TRX40 is heard to come by lately.. whats your take on the ASRock Rack TRX40D8-2N2T as a suitable replacement?

NB the bottom x8 slot is open ended so will take a 16x card
