Thank you for the quick response, Dave.

If I may bother you with another question, the options that I have right
now are:
#1: *4* units of RTX 2080 + 2 units of Intel Gold 5115 per node ($16,000)
#2: *8* units of RTX 2080 + 2 units of Intel Gold 5115 per node ($26,000)

Apparently, the 8-unit node will be more cost-effective but do you think I
might have a cooling issue?

Best,
Rui
