RTX 6000 is some-what obviously my fastest card but my biggest problem with the RT 6000 is the immense heat. The GPU itself is almost 200F and the exhaust from the fans itself is over 150F. I'm worried that my hard drives are going to fail. I was told that the GDDR7 is even hotter than the GPU which is surprising to me.

After my last run, I'm going to wait for the new case I ordered to come in and cannibalize my kid's PC that we built beginning of this year to form an entirely separate computer. And then figure out better ways to deal with the heat, especially with summer coming up. I'll have to play around with undervolting and running vents directly outside my house to see if that helps.

From my failed and expensive affair with GPU mining 5 years ago, You can get a great heat dissipation outcome by using an open case with a lot of directed fans at the expense of a bit of dust and lots of noise

I take it this wasn't the half-wattage Max Q version with blower fan?
