We are fast approaching the point where new Nvidia GPUs only come as eGPUs with their own power supply and C14 connector. People in cold climates will be able to mount it outside their window for winter cooling.

Until it gets rain or sleet or snow on it ? A room heater design with a little bit of ducting would be a great idea

Tell me you don't live in a cold climate without telling me you don't live in a cold climate.

In a cold winter, you put the heat source inside the house, not outside :p And if that's too warm, you just open the window. Even if those gpus took the full 1800 watts from the power outlet, that's still not enough to overcome a cold breeze from an open window when it's -30C or even just -20C outside.

No, they need 220V minimum....

Consuming an insane amount of energy if the specs are correct.

I wouldn't mind having second power supply just for a GPU if it meant I can play with AI locally.
