Why did I jump through these hoops? It frees up a lot of CPU threads on my Epycd8 system to use for CPU only crunching.
It occurs to me that I should note I was running a 128 CPU at 85% available threads in order to feed my Gpu's reliably (and run them fast enough, with the CPU processing involved with them). Once I got rid of those 3 Gpu's I was able to make 124 out of 128 threads available for CPU crunching. That is roughly 18 more threads.

Now this is a PROFESSIONAL gpu so it needs external cooling or it needs to be installed in an approved case that can force air thru it. But this site shows how to use external cooling in your own standard case:

You could run it, if you limit the CPU to 0,9 or 90% of the time...so it will start the PCU tasks, though run them slightly slower, as it feeds GPU also.

I have 2x K20 sitting around...one is with cooling, the other is without it! Also got adapter & fans.
But it is not worth it to use it, as it spends a lot...far better is to use Tesla P4, like on my machines.
