I started selling my NVIDIA 170HX GPUs after asking the community whether it was finally time to sell — and things have gotten pretty crazy.
Over the past month, I've sold 24 170HX GPUs and made roughly $33,000 USD / $47,000 CAD from those sales.
But here's the crazy part: the prices of these GPUs have continued climbing.
I'm seeing 170HX GPUs selling for $1,400, $1,600, $1,800+, while demand is coming from people building local AI systems and running large language models.
In this video, I'll show you:
- How many 170HX GPUs I've sold
- How much money I've made
- Why I'm still holding some of my GPUs
- The 170HX 64GB VRAM unlock
- The PCIe x16 capacitor mod
- PCIe bandwidth before vs. after the mod
- Why people are buying these GPUs for AI inference
- Current 170HX prices on eBay
- Why 3090, 4090 and 5090 prices are also rising
- My experience renting 170HX GPUs on SimplePod and Vast.ai
- How much my 170HX rental has earned
- My plans for upgrading the server with more RAM and storage
- Whether I think large-scale 170HX GPU rentals can actually be sustainable
I also talk about whether I'm going to keep selling these GPUs or start reinvesting the money into newer AI hardware.
