PCIe Riser Deployed to Cool Packed RTX Pro 6000 Max-Q Rig Ahead of 90°C Load Test
stefanopineda · x · 2026-09-19
stefanopineda is building a multi-GPU test rig with RTX Pro 6000 Max-Q server cards. Because tightly packed cards risk overheating, the PCIe riser has arrived to space the cards apart, and the next load test will show whether a little spacing keeps them under 90°C.
A hands-on cooling log for running non-blower server cards in a local chassis — useful for anyone building multi-GPU inference/training rigs.
