Supermicro Super Al Station Hero
With NVIDIA announcing multiple new desktop system designs at Computex 2026, NVIDIA’s partners were understandably eager to show off their current and forthcoming wares. For most desktop users, the highlight of the show is arguably running into an NVIDIA DGX Station system, which at around $125,000 each (via Newegg Affiliate link) is in the running as the most expensive desktop computer available, and the only way to get NVIDIA’s flagship GB300 accelerator in something smaller than a server.
As luck would have it, we happened to run into one of those systems over at the Supermicro Computex 2026 booth, where NVIDIA’s partner had its DGX Station system, the Super AI Station, on full display.
Supermicro Super AI Station
The Super AI Station is Supermicro’s DGX Station offering. And kudos to the company for understanding just how interesting a product they had on their hands. While they did not have the system open, they did the next best thing by putting a plexiglass panel on its side so that attendees could get a good look inside.
Supermicro Super Al Station Plexiglass Cover<br>As with GB10 systems, NVIDIA has kept OEMs on a relatively short leash with DGX Station systems. NVIDIA provides the critical motherboard and processors, leaving OEMs to design a system around it while meeting NVIDIA’s specifications for things such as port availability and power. The end result is that the core components and layout of a DGX Station system are all going to look very similar to Supermicro’s system.
Supermicro Super Al Station Flyer<br>At its heart is the Grace Blackwell GB300 chip, which combines a 72-core Grace CPU die with a Blackwell GPU. With most of the system’s 1600 Watt TDP going to that chip, Supermicro has opted for liquid cooling here, covering all critical components with cold plates and running a radiator loop to carry away the heat.
Supermicro Super Al Station GB300<br>This includes the four LPDDR5X SOCAMMs that provide the 496GB of memory for the Grace CPU, so while those are technically removable, they are not easily accessible. As for the Blackwell GPU, NVIDIA is using a de-rated part here. DGX Station systems ship with only 7 of the 8 HBM3e stacks on the chip enabled, for a total of 252GB of GPU memory and a total memory bandwidth of 7.1TB/second.
Supermicro Super Al Station SSDs<br>As for storage options, all DGX Station systems come with four PCIe Gen5 x4 M.2 2280 slots, which, for its showcase system, Supermicro filled with 480GB Micron 7450 Gen4 x4 drives.
Supermicro Super Al Station Video Card<br>Meanwhile, they also had an NVIDIA RTX PRO video card installed, an optional upgrade that NVIDIA allows. Despite shipping with the Blackwell Ultra GPU, you need another GPU for a workstation if you want something better than BMC video output. The GB300 is not graphics-capable due to its compute-optimized design, so an RTX PRO card must be installed to enable graphics beyond BMC video. This leaves two more PCIe x16 (x8 electrical) slots available for...
