The NVIDIA CMP 170HX is becoming one of the most interesting GPUs for local AI and large language model inference—and the prices are going absolutely crazy! Just a few months ago, I bought 48 of these CMP 170HX GPUs for around $150 each. Now, I'm seeing listings and recently sold prices ranging from over $1,000 to more than $2,000, with one reported sale at $3,250! So what's causing this massive price increase? The CMP 170HX has 8GB of VRAM, but a software unlock is now allowing these GPUs to utilize up to 64GB of VRAM for AI inference. I've been working with Mr. Swamp7, who has been testing this on my 10-GPU CMP 170HX server. He's been running Llama/Kimi 2 successfully for multiple days, and the project is still being tested and stabilized. I'm also working on getting these GPUs running on GPU rental platforms. Vast.ai currently isn't working with my setup, but I'm working with SimplePod and Clore to see if the CMP 170HX can eventually be rented for AI workloads. My next test will be a server with: • 10x CMP 170HX GPUs • 64GB unlocked VRAM per GPU • 640GB total VRAM • Upgraded CPUs and RAM • SimplePod AI rental testing And there's potentially an even bigger development coming. We're also investigating whether the CMP 170HX PCIe interface can be modified from its current limited configuration to PCIe x16. A potential capacitor modification is being tested that could dramatically improve the capabilities of these GPUs for AI inference. If everything works, these GPUs could become extremely valuable for local AI, LLM inference, and GPU compute. I originally bought these CMP 170HX GPUs for cryptocurrency mining, but their potential value for AI may now be much greater. What do you think? Would you buy a CMP 170HX for local AI at today's prices? Let me know in the comments! ⚠️ DISCLAIMER Prices mentioned in this video are based on eBay listings and recently sold items shown during recording and can change rapidly. The 64GB VRAM unlock and potential PCIe modifications discussed in this video are experimental and may still be under development/testing. Results may vary. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Chapters: 00:00 — Why Is the CMP 170HX Suddenly So Expensive? 00:47 — Why the CMP 170HX Is Becoming Popular for AI 01:03 — 10x CMP 170HX GPU Server Gets 64GB VRAM Unlock 01:56 — Powerpool.io Sponsor 03:09 — How Much Are CMP 170HX GPUs Selling For? 03:59 — What Are CMP 170HX GPUs Actually Selling For? 04:38 — Why Are CMP 170HX Prices Going Up? 05:02 — Can You Rent CMP 170HX GPUs on Vast.ai? 05:16 — My 10-GPU CMP 170HX AI Server Plan 05:35 — 640GB Total VRAM With 10 Unlocked GPUs? 05:58 — Can CMP 170HX Work on Clore and SimplePod? 06:06 — My V100 GPU Rental Experiment 06:46 — 64GB VRAM Unlock Tested With Llama and Kimi 2 07:18 — How to Use the CMP 170HX for Local AI 07:41 — Why Are CMP 170HX eBay Orders Being Cancelled? 08:48 — I Bought 48 CMP 170HX GPUs for $150 Each 09:18 — Is CMP 170HX Still Profitable for Mining? 09:45 — The Real Value of CMP 170HX Is AI 10:19 — Will the CMP 170HX Unlock Get Released? 10:27 — Can We Unlock PCIe x16 on the CMP 170HX? 11:07 — Could the CMP 170HX Become a $5,000 AI GPU? 11:15 — What's Next for the CMP 170HX? #CMP170HX #NVIDIA #AI #LLM #GPU #LocalAI #AIInference #GPUCompute #CryptoMining #Mining #GPU #VastAI #SimplePod #NVIDIA170HX
