I almost cried... - 6 Editors 1 CPU Pt. 4

I almost cried... - 6 Editors 1 CPU Pt. 4 follows Linus Tech Tips as they continue the monumental effort of building and stabilizing a six-GPU workstation inside a single CPU system. The video opens with the team detailing a potential showstopper when the system reboots after adjusting an external PCIe cable, underscoring how delicate the configuration is when you’re squeezing six GPUs into a single motherboard. They describe patterning behavior across VM2 and VM6, revealing the complex interplay between PCIe lanes, onboard audio controllers, and GPU boot issues. The crew experiments by swapping GPUs, pulling out cards, and testing different configurations to isolate the root cause of the instability, while also confronting practical limits of hardware supply and vendor expectations. The tone shifts between frustration and determination, with moments of humor as they joke about their struggles and the chaotic but earnest process of troubleshooting a high-end, non-standard build.
