MSI COMPUTEX 2026 Data Center Portfolio Focusing on Liquid Cooled AI Infrastructure NVIDIA MGX GPU Servers and Modular Supercomputing Solutions
MSI showed its latest data center portfolio at COMPUTEX 2026 in booth J0605a, primarily focusing on liquid cooled systems designed for the demanding thermal requirements of modern AI workloads. According to Danny Hsu, the GM of MSI Enterprise Platform Solutions:
the core challenges of scaling AI infrastructure lies in the balancing between sheer computing power, cooling capacity, and hardware flexibility, demands met by a product line ranging from vast data center racks to compact desktop supercomputers.
For large cloud operations, the 21 inch 44OU ORv3 Liquid Cooled Rack Architecture was developed to manage 100kW+ deployments via a direct Liquid to Liquid Coolant Distribution Unit. The enclosure houses 28 individual 1OU2N Open Compute multi node systems within a high density setup leveraging 48V busbar power delivery to ensure optimal efficiency within its 21 inch wide form factor, designed to keep clustered accelerators adequately cooled.
For standard data centers, the 19 inch 48RU EIA Air Cooled Rack Architecture was introduced to hold 16 individual 2U2N multi node systems, helping to integrate next generation hardware into pre existing infrastructure with dual socket Intel Xeon 6 and AMD EPYC 9005 support.
At the heart of MSI’s GPU acceleration offerings lies its modular NVIDIA MGX hardware architecture available in 2U, 4U, and 6U form factors supporting the NVIDIA H200 NVL and the Blackwell Server Edition GPUs. Highlight of the line is the liquid cooled 6U CG681 S6093 platform, which features dual AMD EPYC processors, 32 DDR5 slots, and 8 ConnectX 8 SuperNICs delivering up to 400Gbps networking. The CG480 S5063 is a memory heavy 4U dual socket Intel Xeon 6 server holding 8 double wide GPUs and 20 E1.S NVMe drives.
In AMD configurations, the CG481 S6053 and the CG480 S6053 are dual socket 4U platforms designed for 8 double wide accelerators, with the former featuring ConnectX 8 networking for enhanced cluster communication and the latter adding an additional 5 PCIe 5.0 slots for specialized configurations. The 2U single socket CG290 S3063 provides edge or smaller operation environments with support for 4 double wide GPUs and 4 NVMe drives accessible from the rear.
For desktop development, the XpertStation WS300 utilizes the NVIDIA DGX Station design, empowered by the NVIDIA GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Desktop Superchip, delivering 748GB coherent and 7.1TB/sec high bandwidth memory, fully liquid cooled and office friendly with dual 400GbE ports, native Windows support, and the capacity for developers to tune massive models.
MSI continues to offer modular solutions via its DC MHS designs with liquid cooled solutions in the 21 inch Open Compute category. The CD281 S4051 X4 is a 2OU 4 Node solution with an AMD EPYC 9005 processor per node designed for virtual machines, while the 2 Node CD281 S4051 X2 adds 12 front access drives for each node, allowing for extreme storage capacities.
In the 19 inch range, both Intel and AMD solutions are offered with the CD270 series, with the CD270 S3071 X4 and X2 supporting Intel Xeon 6+ processors and optimized power usage for containers, and the CD270 S4051 X4 and X2 supporting AMD EPYC processors for brute force compute, while the CD270 S3061 X4 with Intel Xeon 6 is offered for standard scale out operations.
MSI displayed standard rackmount servers in its CX line. The CX270 S5062 is a dual socket Intel Xeon 6 server with 32 DIM slots and support for up to 2, 600W GPUs, while the CX170 S5062 is a 1U unit designed to support up to 12 NVMe drives. In the AMD options the CX271 S4056 and 1U CX171 S4056 single socket servers offer up to 24 DIM slots for accelerated edge inferencing.
Finally, raw motherboard designs were made available for custom system integration, with designs ranging from M FLW to M DNO sizes, supporting the DC MHS standard, with highlighted models such as the D5062 dual socket Intel board, single socket AMD EPYC boards such as the D4051 and D4056, and the traditional workstation design D3060 Intel board.
