A user conducted thermal tests on GX10 GPUs running the DeepSeek V4.1-Flash model, finding that temperatures could reach up to 82°C without significant throttling. Even at peak temperatures, clock speed reductions were minimal, around 3%, primarily for power leakage management. The tests indicated no meaningful performance difference between the coolest and hottest operating conditions, with a variance of approximately 3%. The user experimented with different cooling setups, including an IKEA Kallax configuration with added fans, to monitor these temperatures. AI
