I own a P100, P4, M40. They either lack ram or speed. Also, unless you are putting them in a server you have to cool them.

If your goal is to learn ML don't tinker with very obsolete hardware. Rent or buy something modern.

What do you mean by assembly needed? I looked them up and they look like normal gfx cards. Am I missing something?

They're datacenter GPUs so you need special power supplies and an adapter to connect it to a regular motherboard.

From what I’ve read cooling can also be a challenge.

What is their advantages?

“Very cheap” isn’t enough?

apparently there are a group of folks finetuning with these cards.

Source? I own 3 and I would take a single 3090 any day. M40s are simply too old.
