Hello everyone. Over the last couple months I have been assembling my local AI setup for personal use, and I thought to write a post here, firstly to collect some thoughts on the whole concept, and secondly to perhaps gather some feedback. My setup is nowhere near as advanced as many professional rigs posted here, but I have the following specs: - 9950X + 96 GB RAM, - ASUS ProArt X870E mobo, - 1300W Taichi T1300 PSU, - 2x ASRock R9700, (currently shipping) - XFX R9700. So far I have mainly been using it to run Qwen 3.6 27B at Q8 on the two cards together.
