Maxsun and Abee Unveil Liquid-Cooled Arc Pro B60 48G GPU, Reducing Thickness to a Single Slot
Maxsun has once again demonstrated its commitment to high-performance AI workstation design by introducing a new liquid-cooled version of the Intel Arc Pro B60 48G Turbo GPU, developed in collaboration with Japanese manufacturer Abee. According to the company, the liquid-cooled edition transforms the dual-slot Arc Pro B60 48G Turbo into a single-slot solution, enabling unprecedented GPU density within its powerful W790-based AI workstation.
Earlier this year, Maxsun showcased its AI workstation featuring up to four Arc Pro B60 48G Turbo GPUs, powered by Intel’s W790 platform with seven PCIe x16 slots. However, due to the dual-slot design of each GPU, physical space limited the configuration to just four cards. With Abee’s new liquid-cooling system, Maxsun has successfully engineered a one-slot-thick Arc Pro B60 48G Liquid Edition, allowing for up to seven GPUs to be installed simultaneously, maximizing performance per watt and per rack unit.
Abee’s custom-designed cooling system replaces the standard air-cooled shroud with a precision-engineered copper and aluminum water block. The new design integrates liquid loop connectors on the right-hand side of the card, simplifying installation and tubing management within the Abee Designer C700W chassis, a case that already supports large radiators and optimal airflow.
This innovation allows full utilization of the seven PCIe 5.0 x16 slots on Maxsun’s W790 motherboard, turning the workstation into an ultra-dense compute powerhouse. With all seven GPUs populated, the system can deliver a staggering 336 GB of GDDR6 VRAM, representing a 1.75x increase over the previous four-GPU configuration, which provided 192 GB.
“With Abee’s Liquid Edition redesign, the same B60 evolves into a slimmer and more efficient solution, engineered to fit seamlessly across all seven full-speed PCIe 5.0 x16 slots. This innovation enables smarter cooling, higher efficiency, and uncompromised performance,” Maxsun stated.
The new configuration positions Maxsun’s AI workstation as a top-tier solution for AI training, 3D rendering, and data-intensive computing. By combining Intel’s dual BMG-G21 GPU-based Arc Pro B60 48G with enhanced thermal management, the system ensures consistent performance without the thermal throttling commonly seen in dense GPU environments.
Pricing for the Arc Pro B60 48G Liquid Edition has not been officially announced, but estimates place it between $1,300 and $1,500 per unit. A full seven-GPU configuration could therefore cost between $9,000 and $10,000 for the graphics hardware alone - not including the rest of the system components or Abee’s premium chassis and cooling hardware.
Maxsun has yet to confirm the full pricing and availability for its liquid-cooled AI workstation, but this latest development highlights the company’s growing role in the professional computing and AI acceleration market.
What do you think about Maxsun’s approach to ultra-dense GPU cooling? Would you consider a seven-GPU liquid-cooled setup for AI or 3D workloads?
