CUBIX XPANDERS​

Turn One PCIe Slot into 4, 6 or 8

ONE SYSTEM

Unlimited GPU Acceleration

Xpanders + graphics or GPU cards are the easiest and most affordable way to boost the compute power of any modern computer, effectively eliminating power and cooling issues associated with hardware accelerators like NVIDIA® or AMD® GPUs.

Xpander provides an independent life support system with its own power and cooling dedicated to the GPUs and hardware accelerators. It extends the PCIe bus to avoid taxing your existing cooling or power, and it won’t void your warranty.

Available in desktop and rackmount configurations.
