I. Preface
Mushroom has a friend who is a productivity player, rents a studio to put all kinds of hosts, usually mainly uses these hosts to build servers, and then rents all kinds of computing power on the Internet, and rents the idle computing power of graphics cards and processors to people in need. The studio he rented was noisy and hot, and there were hosts everywhere, so I went to help him clean up two days ago, and after a while, he was sweating and very uncomfortable.
This friend recently wanted to get a dual graphics card host, and installed two RTX4090 graphics cards on one host, which is a bit special, and puts forward high requirements for the motherboard, chassis, and power supply. But don't worry about the motherboard, he's all masters, Hero and the like,You can easily support dual graphics cards;Don't worry about the chassis,He made a lot of racks,For example, JosboMod3,The side panel is not installed,Just get a fan next to the graphics card and blow,Don't worry about compatibility,Don't worry about air duct;The only thing you need to pay more attention to is the power supply,After all, two RTX4090 graphics cards,The power consumption at full load under the default BIOS is rushing1000W,Plus the power consumption of the processor and some peripheral devices,The requirements for power supply are higher。
I used to use the original power supply with a rated power of 1200W, and I always felt that I was not too relieved, so I wanted to start a cost-effective, high-power power supply. Looking at it, the Great Wall's gold hunting series N17 was chosen, and the output power can go up to 1700W in the case of rated 220V voltage input, which is very powerful.
I have also considered other brands of power supplies, but this power supply of the Great Wall is too cost-effective, and the price of power supplies of other brands is much higher. In addition, Mushroom also recommended the dragon of the Great Wall, but was rejected by a friend, haha.
Second, the Great Wall (Great Wall) gold hunting N17 gold medal full module power supply unboxing
▼The packaging box of the power supply is very heavy, heavy in the hand, and there is a layer of plastic seal outside.
