https://gpurenthub.com/blog/ Hardware arrivals, incident write-ups and dashboard changes from GPU Rent Hub, a no-KYC GPU host. en https://gpurenthub.com/blog/b200-out-of-waitlist/ https://gpurenthub.com/blog/b200-out-of-waitlist/ 28 Aug 2026 The second tranche of HGX B200 landed on 19 August, burned in for a week, and cleared the waitlist this morning. Eight 8-way nodes are live, two more racks are on order for IAD-1 with a target of November. Power is the constraint, not supply: a B200 node draws ~10.2 kW at the wall and we had to add a 415 V busway to cage 4 for them. Single-GPU B200 instances are not something we can offer — the pa https://gpurenthub.com/blog/nvme-wipe-on-release/ https://gpurenthub.com/blog/nvme-wipe-on-release/ 3 Jun 2026 Every instance's NVMe is a LUKS2 volume with a key generated at provisioning and held in the host TPM, sealed to that instance ID. Releasing the instance asks the TPM to destroy the key — at that point the drive contents are ciphertext with no key anywhere. Then we blkdiscard the namespace and run a 30-second verify pass that samples 2,000 random LBAs and confirms they read as zero. Only after tha https://gpurenthub.com/blog/selling-hardware/ https://gpurenthub.com/blog/selling-hardware/ 14 Apr 2026 People kept asking to buy retired cards from us, and we kept saying no because we didn't have a process. Now we do: a hardware page with new and fleet-retired cards, colocation in our own cages, and a buy-back rate. Colocated cards use the same host fleet and dashboard as rentals — there is no separate "colo product". The card is yours and the monthly bill drops to power and space. The per-card ti https://gpurenthub.com/blog/dashboard-4-12/ https://gpurenthub.com/blog/dashboard-4-12/ 2 Mar 2026 Switching an instance from weekly to monthly (or extending a monthly one by 3/6 months at the prepaid discount) no longer touches the machine. Also: snapshot restores to a different region, TOTP recovery codes regenerable, API webhooks for renewal failures, and Ukrainian and Turkish translations of the dashboard. https://gpurenthub.com/blog/first-b200-rack/ https://gpurenthub.com/blog/first-b200-rack/ 19 Oct 2025 One rack, four nodes, all pre-sold to waitlist. Interesting: the wall-plug efficiency versus H100 on an FP8 training benchmark we run for burn-in is about 2.1× per watt. Less interesting: the busway upgrade it needed. https://gpurenthub.com/blog/mi300x-and-rtx-5090/ https://gpurenthub.com/blog/mi300x-and-rtx-5090/ 12 Mar 2025 One 8-way MI300X platform in DFW-1 for people who asked for 192 GB of HBM at a price that isn't H200. ROCm 6.4 template included. And the first 240 RTX 5090s spread across all three regions; blower models only, because the 575 W triple-fan retail cards do not belong in a rack. https://gpurenthub.com/blog/h200-available/ https://gpurenthub.com/blog/h200-available/ 4 Dec 2024 Same HGX form factor as our H100 nodes, so provisioning was uneventful. 141 GB per card means a 70B model in BF16 fits on two cards with room for a batch. Priced at $2,290/mo per card, which is still the number on the H200 rental page . https://gpurenthub.com/blog/pdx-1-hillsboro/ https://gpurenthub.com/blog/pdx-1-hillsboro/ 22 Jul 2024 Third region. Hydro-powered facility, cool climate, good latency to the West coast and Asia-Pacific. Opens with L40S, A100 and 4090 stock; H100 nodes follow in Q4. https://gpurenthub.com/blog/api-v2/ https://gpurenthub.com/blog/api-v2/ 15 Jan 2024 We rewrote the API and then rewrote the dashboard to use only the public API. If a thing is possible in the dashboard, it's possible with curl. v1 is deprecated with a 12-month sunset. https://gpurenthub.com/blog/h100-pcie-first-fifty/ https://gpurenthub.com/blog/h100-pcie-first-fifty/ 9 Mar 2023 Allocation was hard to get in early 2023. We got fifty PCIe cards for DFW-1; SXM nodes came ten months later. Every one of those first fifty is still in service. https://gpurenthub.com/blog/iad-1-ashburn/ https://gpurenthub.com/blog/iad-1-ashburn/ 28 Nov 2022 IAD-1 opens with 300 GPUs, mostly A6000 and A40, and 3090s moved from Dallas. Delayed two days by a cross-connect; see the status page for the honest version. https://gpurenthub.com/blog/monero-accepted/ https://gpurenthub.com/blog/monero-accepted/ 2 Feb 2022 The most requested feature of our first year. XMR deposits are credited after 10 confirmations at the spot rate at first confirmation, same as everything else. We run our own node, and still do: see Monero GPU hosting . https://gpurenthub.com/blog/forty-rtx-3090s-in-dallas/ https://gpurenthub.com/blog/forty-rtx-3090s-in-dallas/ 15 Mar 2021 One rack, one cage, one switch (we'd learn about that), forty 3090s, and a pricing page with exactly one row. Monthly terms because that's how we'd want to rent a GPU. Bitcoin and Ethereum because that's what we had. No KYC because we don't want to hold your passport any more than you want to give it to us. Five years on, no-KYC GPU hosting still works exactly that way.
