BEFORE IT ARRIVES

Power, cooling & your space.

What this configuration needs on your premises.

Requirements reviewed 2026-09-29
Lab assessment · based on the evidence below

Office with facilities review

A configurable office workstation. The CPU, GPUs and PSU option determine the installation; high-power configurations need an electrical and cooling review.

Power rating

Published detail

1,000 W or 1,400 W fixed 80 PLUS Platinum PSU options. These are supply capacities, not measured workload consumption. [1]

Electrical input

Published detail

The 1,400 W supply is limited to 1,125 W output with 100–111.9 V input and 1,250 W at 120 V. Check the regional input label and chosen configuration. [1]

Outlet & circuit

Not verified

No machine-specific branch-circuit requirement verified. Check the nameplate, regional cord and other loads on the same circuit.

Machine cooling

Published detail

Tri-channel air cooling, with internal air baffles and a ventilated front grille. Match the fan and GPU configuration to the ordered system. [2]

Operating limits

Published detail

10–35°C operating ambient, 20–80% relative humidity; operating altitude up to 3,048 m. [1]

Noise in the workspace

Not verified

No comparable noise measurement under an AI workload verified. Ask for dB(A), distance, workload and ambient conditions; audition it before placing it beside people.

ACTUAL CONSUMPTION

Power at the wall

PSU capacity, chip TDP and measured consumption describe different things. Only measurements with a stated configuration and test method appear here.

Idle and AI-load wall power: not verified.

No attributable wall-power test for this configuration was established in this review. Measure at the outlet with the exact model, workload, runtime and power mode recorded.

Room cooling

Allow for sustained room heat, including after office hours. A ventilated equipment room may be more practical for multiple systems or continuous jobs. An internal liquid cooler does not remove the need for room cooling.

Lab planning guidance. Office suitability depends on the installed configuration, shared circuits, heat removal and acceptable noise; a workstation label alone does not settle it.

Space & installation

Enclosure
Confirm selected configuration
Weight
Not verified
  • Keep air inlets and exhausts unobstructed, with room for cables and servicing. An enclosed cupboard needs its own ventilation; the enclosure dimensions are not an airflow clearance.
  • Tower or 4U with an optional rail kit. Confirm GPU cooling requirements and the final PSU before selecting an office socket or rack.
Estimate electricity use & room heat

Enter average power at the wall for the hours you are modeling, or an explicit planning assumption. Supply wattage and chip TDP are not consumption measurements.

Add wall power to calculate a scenario.

Scenario only. Hours outside this period are excluded: include idle time for an always-on system. Displays, networking, UPS losses and room air conditioning are extra. Heat assumes the computer and power supply release their heat into this room; it does not size a circuit or an HVAC system. Currency selects your tariff’s unit, with no conversion.

Sources & review scope (2)

Manufacturer documentation and attributed first-hand hardware inspections, scoped to the named model or configuration. “Not verified” identifies a gap in this review, not a claim that the manufacturer has no documentation. Installation assessments are the Lab’s interpretation.

BEFORE YOU CHOOSE

September 2026 PSREF supports up to three RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q GPUs or one 600 W Workstation Edition GPU, with orderability still to confirm.

Memory screening uses a single 96 GB GPU, not an assumed pool across three cards.
