An electrician once told me

An electrician once told me "nothing's impossible".  He was mounting a projector and an AC unit in the same place on the ceiling.  He constructed some kind of bracket to put one under the other.

Not disagreeing.

I have to have help getting certain kinds of CPU/CPU sockets installed (Thanks George).

And George is ragging me about the number of times I have screwed up what may be a perfectly good/reliable Boinc system by trying to "upgrade/improve, etc" it.

That is why I am trying to avoid touching that b450-f system until I shut it down for it's summer break (my A/C can't keep up).

Originally this 5 GPU rig (2 rtx 3080 ti's + p104-100's) was going to be driven by a 7-slot Epyc server MB that I sent out to let a friend experiment on it as well as install an Epyc 7601 cpu (32c/64t) so I would always have enough threads for whatever GPU project I was running on it plus leftovers for robust cpu projects.

That motherboard is still a couple of states over from me when I got "itchy" fingers :)

You can never have enough AC,

You can never have enough AC, buy another unit.  Are you somewhere hot?  Europe is very hot just now.  France is up to 29C and was warmer a few days ago.  I can take a cool shower, the computers can't, at least I'm told it's not good for them.

But how much wattage will is it pulling now, and how much additional wattage with your 1080Ti ?

Do you have enough power available with room to spare ?

The current from the wall load seems to be 1216 watts with the rtx 3080 ti's power limited to 300 watts per GPU.

I now have juggled everything around to where if I add another PSU I could put another rtx 3080 ti in there.

I would still need to redistribute what power outlets I am plugging into.  For some reason 15 amp breakers seem to blow.  So do the 20 amp whens if I load on too much :)

It's running overnight till I shut it down manually for the day (assuming a ~90F forecast).

Or use a 220V dryer connection.

It's hot outside I would just hang them outside before I added all that moisture to my pc room.

If you have AC, it dehumidifies as a byproduct.  If you have open windows, the damp will drift outside.

PCs won't be affected by damp if they're switched on, the hot temperatures of the components will keep them bone dry.
