At NVIDIA GTC 2025, we saw the POD Asus AI for the NVIDIA GB300 generation. We have also seen many PCIE GPU systems as well as the new NVIDIA HGX B300 8 GPU system. For this one, we captured a little additional video and have a short:

This is a quick video of less than a minute and shows some additional views of the rack.
Asus Booth at NVIDIA GTC 2025
The big goal of the Asus Ai Pod is dense AI Calculation.
Inside the NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 Rack, there are 18 NVIDIA GB300 calculation blades.
Each blade has four B300 modules and two Grace processors.
There is also the Nic Nic Nvidia Semportation up to 1.6 networking tops near Grace processors for scale networking beyond the rack.
There is also a DPU Nvidia Bluefield-3 which would be cooled by liquid as well as the energy distribution card.
A neat feature was the SSD network cooled by liquid.
Between these calculation nodes, there are 9 NVLink switching sleds. The whole rack is connected through the NVLink cartridges on the back. These four cable cartridges have more than 1000 threads, making it a complex and important part of the racks.
Here we can also see the power of the bus bar and the liquid cooling collectors.
A fun article is that there was a lot of cooler cooling cool. Many of our readers have used cooler cooler coolers on Asus motherboards for years, so it was good to see the high -end collaboration for AI systems.
There was also a little more in the stand.
