Hey everyone.
GPU servers are prohibitively expensive and way beyond my budget. However, I'm eager to achieve the local deployment of the Llama LLM. So, I had to come up with an alternative solution.
I've designed a GPU expansion board with PCIe 4.0. The distance between the 2 slots is a whopping 80mm, which can fit two 3-slot GPUs. Besides that, there are two handles on it
There are 4 SFF-8654 8I interfaces on the PCB board for transmitting PCIE signals, and each interface can provide PCIE x8. The PCB board is powered by an 8-pin GPU power supply interface.
As it won't be marketed, I can reveal the costs: $11 for the GPU steel bracket and around $13.2 for the PCB.
I can easily expand my GPU cards on my shelf. What do you think?
