Welcome to LocalLLaMA! Here we discuss running and developing machine learning models at home. Lets explore cutting edge open source neural network technology together.
Get support from the community! Ask questions, share prompts, discuss benchmarks, get hyped at the latest and greatest model releases! Enjoy talking about our awesome hobby.
As ambassadors of the self-hosting machine learning community, we strive to support each other and share our enthusiasm in a positive constructive way.
Rules:
Rule 1 - No harassment or personal character attacks of community members. I.E no namecalling, no generalizing entire groups of people that make up our community, no baseless personal insults.
Rule 2 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning models to cryptocurrency. I.E no comparing the usefulness of models to that of NFTs, no comparing the resource usage required to train a model is anything close to maintaining a blockchain/ mining for crypto, no implying its just a fad/bubble that will leave people with nothing of value when it burst.
Rule 3 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning to simple text prediction algorithms. I.E statements such as "llms are basically just simple text predictions like what your phone keyboard autocorrect uses, and they're still using the same algorithms since <over 10 years ago>.
Rule 4 - No implying that models are devoid of purpose or potential for enriching peoples lives.

yeah i think that's kind of the issue today there isn't really a benchmark for that kind of stuff. from what i understand the p40 is perfectly capable of running some larger models because of the 24gb. what i don't understand is you are talking fan and fan coupling what do you mean with that is that required i have a supermicro sc747 see link for example would that require more airflow trough the gpus to cool?
The P40 doesn't have active cooling, it really needs forced air flow which I grabbed one of these for

It's even cheaper now than when I bought mine.
o so a real server chassis provides that airflow but because of the lack of flow in towers/desktops they get overheated i get it, good to know
Correct my backplane doesn't have the flow of big server box, also another gotcha is the P40 uses a 8-pin CPU power plug not a 8-pin GPU
Edit 8 pin not 6 pin
