# Build your own machine

One of the most important consideration when building a machine for deep learning is the GPU choice. GPUs are the standard workhorse for deep learning owing to their tensor cores for performing very efficient matrix multiplication and high memory bandwidth. To train large models, you either need a more powerful GPU, multiple GPUs, or take advantage of techniques that offload some of the load to the CPU or NVMe.

Each PCIe 8-pin power cable should be connected to a 12V rail on the power supply unit (PSU) and can deliver up to 150W. Other GPUs may use a PCIe 12-pin connector which can deliver up to 500-600W. Lower-end GPUs may only use a PCIe 6-pin connector which supplies up to 75W.

An overheated GPU throttles its performance and can even shutdown if it's too hot to prevent damage. Keeping the GPU temperature low, anywhere between 158 - 167F, is essential for delivering full performance and maintaining its lifespan. Once temperatures reach 183 - 194F, the GPU may begin to throttle performance.
