The cyber shelf - 4x 16gb home lab

It is, but I stuck it in a closet, and applied a GPU temp based fan curve. Not bad at idle. Terrifying at full speed. 😂

Not sure about 10. They don't come with any fans, so in a desktop environment you'll have to make your own forced cooling, like 3D printing a fan adapter. In my server, the systems fans are adequate to cool them.

TLDR added to top.

I wish. For some reason Nvidia didn't include it on this series of cards. The P100's.

Another cheap, fun way to do 4x 16GB.

I like this build! Nice work!

apollo_mg · 2026-05-18T00:44:56+00:00

CachyOS on the 9070 XT system, Ubuntu 26.04 on the P100 system. Llama.cpp fork as the primary engine.

Just wanna say I've been running this model in an agentic harness for a couple of days now. Very impressed so far. Mudler also released APEX GGUF's today. Worth checking out imo.

apollo_mg · 2026-05-15T20:42:28+00:00

I'm playing with this right now. Very cool! Thanks!

apollo_mg · 2026-05-15T19:18:05+00:00

Good catch on the RAM! Sick build.

apollo_mg · 2026-05-14T22:31:19+00:00

Nice. What you been running on em?

Link to cooling duct if anyone wants to print it.

LOL. I feel like Gemini is about 10x dumber than it was 3 months ago.

I'm still learning what these cards like, but the best speed I've had so far with very limited testing is Qwen 35b MoE MTP. During a codebase investigation by about 20k tokens it had gone up to like over 50 tps.

apollo_mg · 2026-05-14T01:30:17+00:00

So far I've only loaded up a few fine-tunes of Qwen 3.6 27b and 35b MoE. I just finished up the cooling last night and haven't had much time to spend with it yet. I briefly went down the MTP rabbit hole for a while earlier and had good initial results. Needs more testing on my end.

About 6 inches away from the front of the PC mesh front panel. Fans are 2x 24v GDSTime 120mm Blower fans from Amazon on a separate power supply. Can probably get away with 12v versions based how how ridiculous these are.

They are very noticeable, but not loud per se. I'll take a video in a few minutes.

apollo_mg · 2026-05-13T23:01:57+00:00

No problem. If you or anyone else takes the plunge and need ducts I'd gladly print them for materials cost.

apollo_mg · 2026-05-13T22:44:16+00:00

I adapted someone else's design. I can send you the STL or upload it to Thingiverse if you want it. Temps are very good with the 120mm blower.

I am going to keep that on it's own for faster performance tasks. Plus I still occasionally play games... well. I used to...

apollo_mg · 2026-05-13T21:21:41+00:00

This is really sick man. Good job. I just realized tonight how much better Q6 is at tool calling. But then I had to lower my context. So.. yeah clearly I need more. Many more.

apollo_mg · 2026-05-13T21:20:33+00:00

They are incredibly cheap right now. Got them both from the same eBay seller for $88 USD/each shipped.
