MSI XpertStation WS300 DGX Station GB300 Guide Singapore

The MSI XpertStation WS300 is MSI's build of the NVIDIA DGX Station GB300: one GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Desktop Superchip, 748 GB of coherent memory, up to 20 petaFLOPS of FP4 compute and a ConnectX-8 SuperNIC in a liquid-cooled tower that runs from a wall socket. It was also the first GB300 DGX Station an independent lab tested. This guide covers the WS300's chassis, cooling, power supply, storage, management and benchmark record, how it compares with the ASUS ET900N G3, and how to buy one in Singapore. It is price on request; typically quoted per configuration (GPU add-in card, storage, transceivers, support term). For all five GB300 towers side by side, start with our DGX Station GB300 buyer's guide; for the ASUS range, the ASUS Agent Computer guide.

MSI XpertStation WS300 specifications

Figures are from StorageReview's review unit and NVIDIA's reference specification; the PSU rating is as stated on our listing.

Some reseller listings print 784 GB; NVIDIA's reference specification and StorageReview both state 748 GB, and that is the figure to plan around.

Chassis: what MSI built around the NVIDIA baseboard

NVIDIA supplies every DGX Station OEM with the same GB300 baseboard, memory and ConnectX-8 SuperNIC, so the WS300's compute is the same silicon as the ASUS, HP, Gigabyte and Supermicro versions. MSI's work is the tower around it: 245.7 mm wide, 529 mm tall and 570.4 mm deep, a conventional full-tower footprint. The rear Mini DisplayPort belongs to the BMC and tops out at 1024 x 768; it is for setup and recovery, not for working at the machine. MSI has not published a weight, so plan a two-person lift.

Cooling: a 1,400 W liquid module and two 360 mm radiators

MSI cools the Grace CPU and Blackwell Ultra GPU with a liquid-cooling module rated for 1,400 W, feeding two 360 mm radiators, with a single 120 mm fan for the rest of the chassis. In StorageReview's testing the B300 GPU peaked at 71 °C while drawing 1,292 W, and the CPU never exceeded 65 °C. Those numbers were recorded with no add-in card installed; fit an RTX PRO 6000 and the same 1,600 W supply feeds both, which is why the RTX PRO 2000 is the usual display card on any GB300 tower. MSI has not published an acoustic rating and StorageReview tested remotely, so there is no independent noise figure; assume the machine is audible under sustained load.

Power supply: 1,600 W, 80 PLUS Platinum and the Singapore circuit

The WS300 runs a single 1,600 W ATX supply with a C19 inlet, rated 80 PLUS Platinum on our listing and in StorageReview's specification. Some overseas reseller sheets describe it as a Titanium unit; we will confirm the tier against the SKU when you request a quote. The site requirement is the same as for every GB300 tower: a dedicated circuit on Singapore's 230 V mains, confirmed by an electrician, and a C19 cord rather than the usual C13. Our DGX Station GB300 office installation checklist covers circuit, placement and network preparation.

The first GB300 DGX Station independently tested

StorageReview published its WS300 review on 24 August 2026, calling it the first GB300 DGX Station to reach the lab and "the most capable workstation we have ever reviewed". The headline figures, all peak output tokens per second under vLLM: GPT-OSS-120B at 9,294, against 3,384 for a single RTX PRO 6000 and about 500 for a GB10 DGX Spark; Llama 3.1 8B NVFP4 at 28,698; Mistral Small 24B FP8 at 11,157. The models that matter most for a GB300 buyer are the large ones: GLM-5.2 NVFP4 ran at 139 tokens per second across 32 concurrent streams, and Nemotron-3-Ultra 550B at 168, both on one tower with part of the model held in Grace memory. These are numbers a four-card RTX PRO 6000 server cannot reach once a model spills past VRAM, and the reason a department buys one coherent 748 GB pool instead of a rack of PCIe GPUs.

Storage, networking and management

MSI ships two 2 TB Micron 4600 PCIe 5.0 drives in RAID 1 for the operating system and leaves two M.2 2280 slots on the ConnectX-8 for data; StorageReview filled those with two more 2 TB drives, so 8 TB raw is a sensible planning figure. Confirm drive options for your SKU when requesting a quote. Networking is the NVIDIA reference set: two 400G QSFP112 ports for storage, a second Station or a cluster fabric, 10GBase-T for the office LAN, and a 1000Base-T port for the BMC. Management is where MSI's server heritage shows: the ASPEED AST2600 runs AMI MegaRAC firmware with IPMI 2.0 and Redfish, so IT can power-cycle, mount media and monitor sensors out of band as on a rack server. Most Singapore deployments run the WS300 headless over SSH, VS Code Remote or JupyterLab.

WS300 vs ASUS ExpertCenter Pro ET900N G3

When StorageReview reviewed the ASUS ET900N G3 on 23 September 2026 it ran the same 14-model vLLM sweep it had run on the WS300 a month earlier, and found the two within two percent on 24 of 28 model-workload pairs. That is the parity to expect from any two GB300 towers; the decision comes down to chassis and support. The ET900N G3 uses an 80 PLUS Titanium supply, weighs a published 27 kg with two carry handles, and adds a dedicated fan over the QSFP112 optics cages. The WS300 counters with the longest independent test record, support for the full RTX PRO range up to the 6000 cards, and MSI's enterprise BMC stack. Our ET900N G3 vs HP ZGX Fury vs MSI WS300 comparison tabulates all three, and the HP ZGX Fury G1n guide covers the rack-rail and Red Hat angle.

Who should buy the MSI XpertStation WS300

The WS300 suits a team that already runs MSI and wants the GB300 platform with the widest add-in card support, or an organisation stepping up from MSI's GB10 unit, the MSI EdgeXpert, to one coherent memory pool for 200B-plus models or a shared departmental endpoint. If you need rack rails, self-encrypting drives or Red Hat certification, look at the HP ZGX Fury G1n; if weight and efficiency decide it, the ASUS ET900N G3. Both are in the AI workstations and servers collection. If one GB300 tower is more than the workload needs, two or four ASUS Ascent GX10 units pool up to 512 GB for far less, with slower clustered inference as the trade-off; the AI hardware calculator helps size that choice.

Frequently asked questions

Is the MSI XpertStation WS300 a real NVIDIA DGX Station? Yes. MSI is one of the OEMs NVIDIA lists for the DGX Station, and the WS300 uses NVIDIA's GB300 baseboard, 748 GB coherent memory and ConnectX-8 SuperNIC.

How much does the MSI XpertStation WS300 cost in Singapore? It is price on request. GB300 systems are allocated and configured to order, and quotes are per configuration: add-in GPU, storage, transceivers and support term.

How fast is the WS300 compared with a GPU workstation? StorageReview measured GPT-OSS-120B at 9,294 tokens per second peak, against 3,384 for a single RTX PRO 6000 and about 500 for a DGX Spark, and served GLM-5.2 at 139 tokens per second across 32 streams.

Is the WS300 slower or faster than the ASUS ET900N G3? Neither in practice. StorageReview found the two within two percent on 24 of 28 model-workload pairs; both use the same GB300 baseboard.

What power does the WS300 need? A single 1,600 W ATX supply with a C19 inlet on a dedicated circuit, confirmed by your electrician against Singapore's 230 V mains.

Is the WS300 loud? MSI has not published an acoustic rating and the review was conducted remotely, so assume it is audible under load and place it away from desks.
