MSI’s booth at NVIDIA GTC 2026 had a number of different systems. We thought we would focus on a few key ones that we could dig into on our tour. Namely, we wanted to look at the MSI XpertStation WS300, an NVIDIA GB300 system you can run on a standard outlet, a new series of liquid-cooled PCIe servers, and a few other neat systems. Of course, we have a quick tour for this one:
Let us get to it.
MSI XpertStation WS300 NVIDIA GB300 Station
First off, the MSI XpertStation WS300 is a really neat system built around the NVIDIA GB300 platform. Better said, this is MSI’s system around NVIDIA’s platform that is designed to bring a Grace CPU, Blackwell Ultra (B300) GPU, ConnectX-8 networking, and more into a 1.6kW power envelope.
Inside the system, we can see a large liquid cooling structure that dominates the chassis, but also leaves room for some expansion.
Perhaps the most striking feature is the liquid-cooling blocks that cool the NVIDIA ConnectX-8 networking, Grace CPU with its SOCAMM memory, and Blackwell Ultra GPU. Just before the show, the GPU memory was down-spec’d to 7.1TB/s and 252GB as we covered in the NVIDIA DGX Station Systems Available piece. Still, between that GPU and the 496GB of LPDDR5X on the NVIDIA Grace CPU, there is a lot of memory in the system.
One neat feature is that even the NVIDIA ConnectX-8 network controller and the optical cages have blocks designed to be cooled via the liquid cooling loop.
Here is the rear panel with four USB ports, 10GbE (AQC113C), audio out, a Micro-USB, and MiniDP for the BMC. The 400GbE QSFP112 ports are labeled as QSFP+ here, but this was a pre-production sample.
A small but neat feature is that this system has extra I/O on the top of the chassis.
You will also see that the chassis has a lot of liquid-cooling tubing and radiators.
On the bottom is something you may not expect from a system with two GPUs already (BMC and Blackwell Ultra). There are three PCIe slots. Originally, the thought was that this would be utilized alongside a low-power GPU just to provide multiple quality display outputs. The current systems can also support high-end NVIDIA RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell GPUs. Of course, since there is a practical 1.6kW limit to the system, putting a high-power GPU here means that the power cap for the Grace CPU and B300 GPU must accommodate the PCIe GPU. Still, if you want a high-end rendering pipeline for graphical work, you will likely want a high-end GPU with display capabilities in a PCIe slot.
The system also supports multiple M.2 NVMe SSDs of various sizes.
Hopefully, we will get to show you these awesome systems soon. Next, however, let us get to some air-cooled MGX PCIe GPU servers.
