Project Blackwell: It Will Work, Eventually — Making an RTX Pro 6000 Run in a Dell R730 at 650K Context

The author installed an RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell in a 2016 Dell PowerEdge R730 and claims a 650K-context local AI box; the post describes fan-shroud modification, dual-riser power, PCIe BAR allocation failures, ACPI/DSDT inspection, MMIO aperture work, and Linux PCIe boot-flag testing as required conditions.

Why it matters: HKR-H/K/R all pass: the 650K-context Blackwell-in-R730 build is novel, concrete, and cost-relevant. Still, it is a niche local-AI hardware experiment, not a broad product or model release.
