CompuLab Turns An 8-Core/16-Thread Xeon, 64GB RAM, NVIDIA Quadro RTX 4000 Into Fan-Less Computer

Via this OpenBenchmarking.org result file are some preliminary data points for this loaded Airtop 3.

The average CPU temperature for the Xeon over the span of hours of constant load was 68.8 degrees. During the most demanding multi-threaded workloads for a period of time it did peak into the 90s and hit thermal throttling, but as you can see most of the time was spent at 77 degrees or less. The Airtop 3 did do a good job at quickly recovering its temperatures in between benchmarks.

Here's a look at how the CPU usage looked during the various benchmarks carried out.

And also the exposed CPU power consumption via its performance counters.

There were also some RTX 4000 graphics benchmarks at the beginning and more towards the end, as you can easily tell from the GPU power consumption numbers.

The Quadro RTX 4000 remained quite cool during this preliminary round of benchmarking with idling in the mid-30s and only peaking up to 63 degrees during GPU compute benchmarks.
