- p1esk 6y agoYou can spend half of the specified costs on every single one of the listed components with zero impact on your ML work productivity. $330 for 64gb of ram, really?
- el_oni 6y agoThe RGB makes ML models train faster
- GaryNumanVevo 6y agoComputers are multi-purpose machines
- fokinsean 6y ago$120 for 3 fans lmao
- jeffheaton 6y agoWell, it did include the RGB controller, if that makes you feel slightly better. :-)
- alfonsodev 6y agoCould you point to a more ML cost efficient build? I’m having problems finding good info resources

- akiselev 6y agoThat is high end RAM binned at 3200Mhz. Consumer RAM is mostly 2133/2400 and with servers often using 2666. RAM at 3200 (PC4-25600) gives you about 25% more peak bandwidth than RAM at 2400 (PC4-19200) and about 16% more than 2666 (PC4-21333)
- p1esk 6y agoThat might be true, but you don't usually care about that for ML workloads running on GPU. Bottlenecks are typically elsewhere.
- junar 6y agoNot true, 3200 CL16 can be nearly as cheap as slower RAM nowadays, with multiple brands at sub-$60 per 16GB stick[1]. OP is paying extra for RGB, as another commenter points out.

- formerly_proven 6y ago3200 and 3600 are the default choice on desktops these days.
- Datenstrom 6y agoI don't know if they are still running the deal but Nvidia was offering $500 off the Titan RTXs if you sign up for their developer program. Edit: Note that they can't be used with multi-gpu builds because they (purposefully) do not have a blower configuration. Unless you can source 2080ti blowers which have the same layout or do a water cooling build it will cause thermal throttling.
- ericd 6y agoI think you can do 2 if you leave a slot in between and put a bit of thought into the airflow, but 4 would be tough without blowers/water.
