The GPUs were capped at 500W, under the 600W maximum, yet commenters concluded the damage pattern pointed to heat buildup rather than manufacturing defects. The user said lowering power further to 300W wasn't viable since it would cut performance by up to 50%, jeopardizing work deadlines.

The machine runs the DeepSeek V4.1 Flash model entirely in GPU memory at up to 215 tokens per second, letting the lawyer process case files locally without sending data to outside servers.
