Supports Up to 8 GPUs – Optimized for NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 50 Series
Designed to accommodate up to 8 full-height, full-width Nvidia 50 Series GPUs, delivering unmatched computational power in a compact 4U form factor. Liquid cooling ensures sustained performance and extended GPU lifespan.
Efficient Water-Cooling Technology
Experience superior thermal performance, optimized airflow, and extended GPU lifespan, thanks to advanced water-cooling solutions from EK. The integrated coolant manifold and quick-disconnect fittings ensure easy maintenance and leak-free operation.
Maximized Performance and Reliability
The internal coolant manifold minimizes heat dissipation and downtime. Dripless QDC connections ensure leak-free maintenance, and a redundant power supply guarantees uninterrupted operation under heavy loads.
Consumer-grade GPUs offer nearly identical computational power compared to professional-grade cards but at a significantly lower cost (up to 50% less). These GPUs, however, face challenges in sustained performance and heat dissipation when overclocked.
Water cooling eliminates these limitations, enabling consistent high performance and reducing each GPU to a single-slot thickness. This allows the SilverStone Barebone to accommodate up to eight GPUs in a single system, doubling the density of air-cooled alternatives while maintaining exceptional thermal efficiency and value.
Built to adapt to evolving needs, it supports both dual- and single-socket motherboards and high-performance CPUs from Intel®, AMD®, and Ampere®. It is also fully compatible with next-generation GPUs, including the Nvidia 50 series. You don’t have to go for all the “bells and whistles” right from the start. Begin with a basic GPU configuration and a modest amount of RAM, and upgrade as your needs grow. Pre-assembled, pre-filled GPUs with industrial-grade dripless QDC make it easy to increase your system’s computational power as workloads expand. The modular design ensures seamless scalability for future workloads and technology advancements.
