QUASAR Ryzen AI Max 2L Liquid-Cooled AI PC

Overview

Cooling is what protects throughput. This 2 L unit carries twin liquid-cooling radiator fans and runs the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 at a 147 W envelope — the highest in the family. Independent validation work on AI hardware keeps finding the same thing: parts that pass every health test still lose double-digit throughput to thermal throttling under sustained load. This is the configuration engineered so that does not happen.

Key highlights

• 147 W sustained envelope — the highest-performance Strix Halo configuration in the line.
• Twin liquid-cooling radiator fans — engineered for sustained load, not burst.
• Up to 128 GB LPDDR5X-8000, 256-bit, up to 96 GB assignable to graphics.
• 16C / 32T Ryzen AI Max+ 395 with 40-CU Radeon 8060S and 50 TOPS NPU.
• Holds clocks through multi-hour inference and adapter-training runs.
• 2 L desktop chassis — the thermal design, not the size, is what changed.
• Windows 11 or Ubuntu, imaged and bench-validated by RDP before dispatch.

AI workload fit

• Multi-hour sustained inference without throttling.
• Fine-tuning and LoRA/QLoRA adapter training on small to mid models.
• Continuous agentic AI workloads that run unattended.
• RAG and generative AI production work on-premises.
• NLP & speech pipelines processing long-running batches.
• A shared team machine that several people queue work onto.

AI workload positioning

Same silicon as the CARINA units, different engineering brief. The extra 15–27 W of envelope matters less than the cooling headroom behind it: throughput measured in the first minute is not what you get in the second hour unless the thermal design supports it. This remains an inference and light-fine-tuning platform — a liquid loop does not turn an integrated GPU into a training accelerator, and we will not imply that it does.

Industry use cases

• Enterprise & GCCs: a shared team AI machine running continuous workloads.
• BFSI: sustained batch inference over regulated data on-premises.
• Healthcare: long-running clinical document and imaging pipelines.
• Public sector & sovereign: departmental AI capacity with on-soil residency.
• Research & education: a lab workhorse shared across a research group.

Performance & how to be sure

Ask for the sustained figure, never the peak — the useful measurement is throughput in the last window of a long run against the first, and RDP reports the droop rather than the headline. Rather than quote a tokens/sec figure that will not match your workload, RDP offers a “benchmark your model” session: bring the model, precision and context length you actually intend to run, and we will validate it on this exact configuration before you commit.

Series & upgrade path

QUASAR performance tier. Below: the CARINA 1L and 2L units for lighter, quieter duty. Above: the 4L Desktop Workstation with an internal 350 W PSU, then RDP AI Workstations with discrete RTX PRO GPUs when fine-tuning throughput — not memory capacity — becomes the constraint.

On-prem vs cloud (TCO)

For sustained daily AI work this configuration removes per-GPU-hour billing, queueing for scarce instances, and egress charges on your own data — and keeps everything on-premises for DPDP and data-residency obligations. Cloud still wins for burst capacity and one-off very large training runs; on-prem wins on sustained utilisation, control and predictable INR capital cost. We model the crossover with your actual usage rather than assert it.

Software & day-one readiness

Ships with Windows 11 or Ubuntu, and the AMD AI stack — ROCm, DirectML and ONNX Runtime — with local model runtimes (LM Studio, Ollama, llama.cpp) validated before dispatch. Because the GPU draws from the same unified pool as the CPU, you assign memory to the model rather than shopping for a card with enough VRAM. Migration from a CUDA workflow is a real exercise and RDP scopes it honestly rather than calling it a drop-in swap.

Power, thermal & acoustics

147 W platform envelope with a closed liquid loop and twin radiator fans, on a standard socket. Quieter under sustained load than an air-cooled unit at the same power, because the fans are not the primary heat path. Exact wattage, BTU and dB(A) figures come from RDP bench measurement rather than estimates — ask for the site-readiness sheet with your quote.
