Hi,
I am planning to build a 4 x RTX 2080 Ti 11GB system for scientific computing. I have never build such a powerful system and have some questions:
- These cards have 2x 8 [strike]ping[/strike] pin PCIe power connectors. If the PSU has enough wattage is it enough to use single to dual 8 pin converters to feed them up? I am sure it is better to go for a PSU with more PCIe connectors but this doubt arised.
- What about cooling? Putting 4 of these in a single configuration wouldn't make it too hot? How do their fans work? Inwards? (taking air from box and moving it along the card and exhausting it rearwards out of the box? Will it be ok for a workstation or will it be too loud to work with?
- Finally, I have found an interesting box+mobo (SuperMicro 7049GP-TRT) but I am not sure if its PSU/mobo will manage this config but cannot find more info on it. Has someone a clue? (yes I have asked support but it is sunday today and would love to know more before tomorrow)
Many thanks in advance,
Jose
