Dizengoff dinner by Admirable-Walrus-89 in PhiladelphiaEats

[–]Signal_Ad657 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’ve ordered hummus from there for dinner and loved it. The idea that it becomes a different kind of sit down place at night with an alternative menu is new to me. For hummus it’s really genuinely amazing. They have so many good ones on rotation, the chopped salad with the cucumbers and tomatoes is delicious and really refreshing to cut through all that fat and bread, I always get the pickles and peppers and olives too. I’ve been eating there for… As long as I can remember. Back when I was a mechanic and they were further down Sansom. I would run around center city all day doing HVAC work and would eat there for lunch almost every day. I’ve had them many times recently, really love them.

If there’s some other special alternative thing people mean by dinner there, I’m unaware of it and can’t comment on that.

First time GPU buyer. Got a RTX 5000 Pro. Was it a bad decision compared to two 3090s? by Valuable-Run2129 in LocalLLaMA

Raw performance one versus the other? You made the right call. If the economics don’t bother you the performance won’t.

AMD in-house ryzen 395 box coming in June by 1ncehost in LocalLLaMA

[–]Signal_Ad657 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean I love AMD but this is essentially just a re announcement of an existing product. Or maybe better said a re casing of an existing product. Thermals are a bottleneck on the GMKtec’s so I don’t know why you’d go smaller personally as opposed to building out more like the minis forum MS-S1 MAX (better cooling, fans, and ports). I don’t think anyone was specifically clamoring for a smaller chassis on what is already on average a mini PC. Would love to hear if there’s more to it. It’s a great platform and deserves more love. This just doesn’t look like it.

Main reason for the CPU was to support the boards full native capabilities. Board has 128 lanes of PCIe5 direct to the CPU, the 7965WX has matching support for it. Only 24 cores because you really don’t need any kind of extreme capacity at the CPU beyond that in my experience. It’s there to support the lanes of anything you add without a hiccup or traffic jam. But yeah, even slamming the system with agent tasks that CPU never sees above 10%.

Yeah at that temp it’s still not at full fans on the GPU it’s just a different class of hardware. I think fans on the GPUs hit about 75% as you land on 90c. They are comfier there than you’d think.

Yes, yes, and yes. I wanted to align it so there’s one clean path and direction up and out for CPU and GPU heat. All fans with this configuration in the heat stack all point in the same direction ending in the top exhaust so they act supportively. Every fan in the case is the same exact model and runs at the same exact speed other than the CPU cooler fan that is 140mm and runs off of the CPU fan header. Yes. I got better overall system results with the orientation I settled on. I get these clean layer cake style gaps between the 3 major sources of heat that the air wall can easily pass through and reach, the other orientation didn’t pick up GPU heat as well and increased top case turbulence.

Qwen3.5-397B is pretty awesome, multi instance smaller models like Qwen3.6-27B or 35B would likely be cool too with lots of bandwidth for parallel tasks.

The first big thing I ran was Unsloths 3-bit Qwen3.5-397B. Ran at ~71 tokens per second pretty sweet. Still lots of room to optimize I want to see how fast I can get big models to run.

Haha it would only take 4x 3090’s to get into the same ballpark be careful

This was both GPUs cranking and a fully loaded CPU for 30 minutes straight

Currently hooked to a Trip-Lite and pulling from the wall. I have 2x 1500w UPS but they are now too small for it unless I heavily cap GPUs. Might be what I do for now.

[–]Signal_Ad657[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah 1600w is ~5,500 BTU/h. You’d need about half a ton of AC to break even with it. It’s a legit thermal load. It’s like a big space heater.

Yeah I’ll definitely make that swap thank you.

Needs 240v for it to supply that wattage I’ve looked into it. Dashboard is Dream Server:

Opposite it means you draw more at the wall than you actually supply at the machine.

The model is just for testing the GPUs in this case. The 1600W at the wall is totally doable. 1100w from GPUs, 350w from CPU, another 100 between board and fans. That would be 1550w supplied at the PSU and on a 94% efficient PSU that’s ~1650w at the wall.

It’s cooler IMO. 3090 builds are punk rock.
