I made a 4000-word guide for people looking to build Nvidia Ampere prosumer workstations and servers, including:
- Different budget tiers
- Where to place them, home, office, data center, etc.
- Constraints with consumer GPUs
- Reasons to buy prosumer and enterprise GPUs
- Building a workstation and a server
- Key components in a rig and what to pick
- Lists of retailers and build lists
Let me know if you have any questions!
There is some weird parts about mining rigs that I don't really agree with.
"pcie risers" - as the author pointed out mining rigs usually go for 1x PCIE risers through USB cause they don't care about bandwidth - but that doesn't mean you need to go for that as well, you could have gone for 16x PCIE risers just fine which is just a long ribbon cable usually shielded.
"mining rigs use crappy PSUs from alibaba" - you can use whatever PSU you want.
