Have you ever written about this enterprise? This sounds super unique and I would be very interested in hearing about how it was run and how it turned out.
It was unique, not many people on the planet, that I know of, who've run as many GPUs as I have. Especially not working for a giant company with large teams of people. For the tech team, it was just me and one other guy. Everything had to be automated because there was no way we could survive otherwise.
I've put a bunch of comments here on HN about the stuff I can talk about.
what type of cards did you have? what did you do with them after PoS? How did you even buy so many cards? Sorry, like the other commenter I'm extremely curious
Primarily 470,480,570,580. We also ran a very large cluster of PS5 APU chips too.
Got the chips directly from AMD. Since these are 4-5 year old chips, they were not going to ever be used. It is more ROI efficient with ETH mining to use older cards than newer ones.
Had a couple OEM manufacture the cards specially for us with 8gb, heatsinks instead of fans (lower power usage) and no display ports (lower cost).
They will be recycled as there isn't much use for them now.
