alt Hacker NewsThe GPU alone has a TDP of 700W, together with everything else (CPU, RAM, storage, fans) you're looking at 1500W+. Depending on the country, that may be enough to saturate your home's electricity uplink...

Never heard electrical uplink before but to those wondering Italy, India, and Japan all have requirements around 3kw. I was slightly surprised by this, but in the end if your running this in a tiny space with that low of power your already probably not buying used H100s.

Hell no. 1.5kw is half a socket capacity. A heat pump or many kitchen appliances are using much more. Our car charger uses more as well.

A typical hair dryer uses about 1500W. I guess GPUs are mechanically not much different from a hair dryer.

That's actually less bad than I assumed. High-end gaming GPUs are already almost at 600W with peak usage above that. I assumed it was much worse than that; that seems absolutely feasible for running at home.
