ASRock Rack
ASRock Rack is the server design arm of the ASRock group and an original MGX launch partner. It designs dense GPU boards and 6U/8U HGX systems popular with neoclouds and crypto-adjacent buyers, usually at sharp prices.
- Designs its own server motherboards, barebones and full rack systems in-house; R&D-centric with manufacturing outsourced to the Pegatron group footprint
- Proprietary direct-to-chip liquid-cooled designs (6U8X-GNR2/DLC, 4U16X-GNR2/ZC families)
- Co-engineered waterless two-phase cooling with ZutaCore for HGX B300, unveiled at OCP Global Summit 2025
- Built the world's most compact GH200 MGX server (MECAI-GH200, 2U short-depth)
- Full rack-scale engineering: ORV3 GB200 NVL72 and XGMRACK GB300 NVL72 with cold plates extended to PDBs, networking and storage
