RM-4U8G

SKU: LMT-RM-4U8G-LP

A purpose-built integrated-loop liquid-cooled AI server platform. Eight GPU slots in a four-rack-unit envelope, the cooling loop closed inside the chassis, and the rest of the build — motherboard, CPUs, RAM, storage — assembled from off-the-shelf enterprise parts. Designed in Slovenia by the EK engineering team. Engineered to deploy in standard server-room conditions, not just industrial datacentres.

Overview

A barebone server platform engineered as a single thermal and power system

RM-4U8G is the result of asking what an 8-GPU AI server should look like if you started over. The chassis is engineered around a closed liquid cooling loop with an in-chassis radiator. Power distribution is platform-level, separated from the motherboard's VRM. The PCIe slot layout is built around the cooling loop's physical envelope, not retrofitted around a board form factor.

What the platform does not do is force you onto a proprietary motherboard. The board, the CPUs, the memory, the storage, the network adapters — these are all off-the-shelf enterprise parts, sourced and refreshed independently of the chassis. The reason customers buy RM-4U8G is the cooling and the chassis discipline; the reason customers stay with RM-4U8G is that nothing else about the build is locked to one supplier.

Engineered and assembled in Komenda, Slovenia. Cooling system designed by the EK engineering team, twenty-five years deep in high-performance liquid cooling. Pressure envelope, materials, and operating range are documented at the supplier level and do not differ from the rest of the LM TEK liquid-cooling catalogue.

At a glance

Six things that matter.

4U envelope

4U envelope

Eight full-height GPU slots in a four-rack-unit chassis. Density that normally needs 6U or 8U.

Eight GPU slots

Eight GPU slots

Full-height PCIe slots, each provisioned for liquid-cooled GPU water blocks at the platform's power envelope.

Integrated liquid cooling

Integrated liquid cooling

Closed loop, in-chassis radiator, no external CDU. Deploys in standard server rooms without facility plumbing.

No motherboard lock-in

No motherboard lock-in

Standard EATX and EEB server boards from your vendor of choice. CPU, RAM, NVMe, NICs are all off-the-shelf.

EK-engineered cooling

EK-engineered cooling

Materials discipline, pressure envelope, and manifold geometry from the EK liquid-cooling reference, transferred to enterprise rack scale.

Platform model

Platform model

Barebone chassis with integrated cooling, power, and platform support. GPUs and internals specified per deployment.

Key engineering

Three design decisions worth calling out.

EATX-compatible · 4U · 19" rack

The chassis is engineered around standard EATX server motherboards rather than a proprietary board. PCIe slot positions and clearance accommodate the cooling loop without needing custom riser cards. Mounting hardware is rack-standard. The platform takes ordinary enterprise components and arranges them at extraordinary density.

Closed integrated liquid loop · in-chassis radiator

Pump, manifold, GPU and CPU water blocks, radiator, and reservoir are all inside the chassis. The radiator faces the front intake; airflow paths are engineered alongside the loop, not as an afterthought. Working pressure 2 500 Pa, max 75 000 Pa otherwise. Materials stack: nickel-plated copper, stainless steel, POM Acetal, EPDM seals.

Redundant high-density PDU · platform-level distribution

Power distribution is engineered at the platform level so the GPU power budget does not depend on the motherboard's VRM. Redundant PSUs, hot-swap modules, and headroom for the full 8-GPU configuration at maximum sustained load. The customer's motherboard chooses CPU and memory; the platform chooses how power reaches the GPUs.

Reference configurations

From starter footprint to production maximum.

Reference configurations · examples drawn from real customer builds. Final BOM is specified per deployment — LM TEK supplies the platform; the GPUs, CPUs, memory, and storage are sourced separately and can vary.
