If efficiency and optimal cooling are more important than price, I think it would be hard to find better than NVIDIA's own DGX-1 and HGX-1 systems: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAZS4V2aolI
You would probably be the first of us to have access to Volta, their next GPU generation
The video above is a bit old so it mentions Pascal generation P100 GPUs instead of V100: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/tesla-v100/
I don't know if Hashcat will work out of the box on a NVLink-based system though... It would be good to know.
I am also curious if they blow as much air as the very first (S870 then S1070) Tesla racks I procured ~10 years ago: we had a loud-enough server room that people were wearing ear protection then, one day, over all that noise, we were like "What's the jet engine sound?!"
More realistically, you wouldn't have to worry about mistakes in your design with these: https://sagitta.pw/hardware/
