"Every time you type a request into ChatGPT, the servers processing it guzzle water and electricity. Engineers are trying to fix this by building data centers underwater and are even trying to shoot them into space. But does that work?"—DW Planet A

The Daily Perspective

Thermal Grizzly scammed out of $46,000 by Alibaba metals suppliers — company spread the risk across two copper and aluminum suppliers, only for both to send cheaper, fake materials

Наконец-то дошли руки сделать репаст или, правильнее будет сказать, смену термоинтерфейса на GPU.

Я уже то ли ещё на lor.sh, то ли уже тут жаловался когда-то, что у меня на высоких нагрузках на GPU вроде некоторых моментов в Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 или запуска инференса какого-нибудь FLUX локально просто напрочь вырубался десктоп.

Какое-то время я не мог понять, что происходит, но потом обратил внимание что GPU под высокими нагрузками неадекватно греется.

Под "неадекватно" я имею в виду 110-113 градусов Цельсия в горячей точке.

В общем, сегодня настал тот день когда я разобрал свою относительно старенькую RX 6800 XT, почистил от старой пасты, которая "убежала" и вместо неё поставил интерфейс с фазовым переходом.

На удивление управился во много раз быстрее, чем планировал. Сорок минут сборки, чистки воздухом и спиртом, замера чипа, вырезания термоинтерфейса, его установки и сборки всего этого обратно.

Результат - отличный, лучше, чем я ожидал.

Под нагрузкой в игре цифры такие:

Было:
GPU Core: 91C
GPU Hot Spot: 113C
Power: 280W
Fan: 1990 RPM

Стало:
GPU Core: 67C
GPU Hot Spot: 83C
Power: 285W
Fan: 1715 RPM

То есть, уменьшились и абсолютные температуры, и дельта между "средней температурой по больнице" и "горячей точкой".

Вместе с этим расслабился и вентилятор.

Операция "Грязь" объявляется успешной 🎉

One data centre or one million homes? Mapping Ontario's proposed hyperscaler boom

Canada’s National Observer found and drew from multiple sources to put together a map of planned data centres in Ontario, and found at least 15 projects with a combined capacity of 2,202 MW currently proposed — a bigger power draw than two million homes — for data centres alone.
