A mechanical engineer has built a powerful home data center featuring 4 NVIDIA RTX 6000 PRO and 2 L40S GPUs, totaling 1.5 TB of RAM and 400 TB of storage, but is facing significant thermal challenges due to a heat output of 10.8 kW. Despite using a cooling system designed to handle this load, the setup generates excessive noise and heat, prompting plans to relocate the server for better cooling efficiency. The project highlights the complexities of integrating industrial-level thermal loads into residential environments.
