1. How does the £120 Certified Fit Audit work?
Before any hardware is built, we conduct a technical intake to validate your specific model, batch size, and inference/training patterns against thermal, VRAM, and power constraints. We deliver a written hardware specification guaranteeing the system will handle your workload without bottlenecks. If you proceed with the build, the £120 audit fee is credited 100% against your final invoice.
2. How do your workstations support UK HMRC R&D claims?
Consumer PC receipts often fail HMRC audits for R&D tax credits. We provide bundled, technical utility statements and proper compliance documentation with every build, proving the hardware is specifically provisioned for R&D inference and training workloads, protecting you from tax leakage.
3. Which high-VRAM GPUs are available for local inference?
We supply architectures configured specifically to eliminate "Out of Memory" (OOM) errors and avoid recurring cloud compute costs. This includes NVIDIA Blackwell, H100, and RTX 6000 Ada Generation GPUs (ranging from 48GB to 192GB VRAM per card), scaled to your specific parameter requirements.
4. How do you handle PCIe lane allocation for multi-GPU setups?
Underspecced PCIe lanes are a primary cause of multi-GPU bandwidth throttling. During the audit, we validate your required lane allocation and specify platforms with sufficient native PCIe 5.0 lanes (such as AMD Threadripper Pro, EPYC, or Intel Xeon W-series). We also specify NVLink configurations for distributed inference on 70B+ parameter models where direct GPU-to-GPU bandwidth is critical.
5. Are your systems built with ECC DDR5 memory?
Yes. Where the platform supports it, we specify ECC-validated DDR5 memory, including channel population strategy and speed grade validation. ECC is mandatory for our sustained training and long-running inference builds to ensure memory error correction and job stability.
