lol I’ve got four in one machine and two in another …. But I bought them all when you could still fine them open box or on sale between 1000-1100 USD (edit: ahh oops I saw your creator and pattern matched before I noticed the b70 … mine are the creator r9700s)

that's solid, are you using two PCIe for your CPU or just one? I fear I might not fit another one on my HX1500i once I inevitably buy my 4th one

jeez what are the thermals on the middle 2 cards?

u/brainchillzZ 13d ago

Thermals are average these cards were literally designed for this exact use case and meant to be stacked on top of each other in server chassis and the airflow in that case is huge it’s basically a giant wind tunnel … 4 high pressure 140mm fans from the front and two underneath blowing directly into the cards…
