ASUS RS720A-E13-RS8U 2U Rack Server
Dual AMD EPYC 900524x DDR58x NVMe BaysPCIe 5.0 GPU
The ASUS RS720A-E13-RS8U is a 2U dual-socket rack server barebone built on 5th Gen AMD EPYC 9005 processors and optimised for expansion and GPU acceleration. Supplied under part number 90SF0441-M009K0, it supports two Socket SP5 CPUs, 24 DDR5 DIMM slots and eight 2.5-inch hot-swap tri-mode bays for NVMe, SATA or SAS drives, with generous PCIe 5.0 expansion for multiple GPUs and a redundant 2.7KW power supply. It is designed for AI, HPC and demanding compute where accelerator and I/O headroom matter more than maximum drive count. This is a barebone platform — processors, memory, storage and operating system are configured to order. Typically available with fast delivery across Cyprus.

Key Features
Dual 5th Gen AMD EPYC 9005
Two Socket SP5 processors support up to 400W TDP each with 12-channel DDR5 per CPU, delivering high core counts and memory bandwidth for AI, HPC and dense virtualization.
24 DDR5 DIMM Slots
With 24 DDR5 slots for high-speed ECC registered memory, the platform handles large datasets and memory-intensive workloads with reliable error correction.
GPU and PCIe 5.0 Expansion
The 8-bay 2U layout frees space for extensive PCIe 5.0 expansion and support for multiple dual-slot GPUs, making it well suited to AI acceleration and high-bandwidth networking.
Eight Tri-Mode NVMe Bays
Eight front 2.5-inch hot-swap bays support tri-mode NVMe, SATA and SAS, with internal M.2 for a mirrored boot volume, OCP 3.0 networking and a redundant 2.7KW power supply.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this server include CPUs, memory and drives?
No. It is a barebone platform that supports 2x AMD EPYC 9005 processors and DDR5 ECC memory. CPUs, memory, drives, GPUs and OS are configured to order.
Is it suitable for GPU and AI workloads?
Yes. The 2U 8-bay layout is optimised for PCIe 5.0 expansion and supports multiple dual-slot GPUs, making it a strong choice for AI training, inference and HPC.
How does it differ from the RS700A-E13-RS12U?
This 2U RS8U trades some drive bays (8 vs 12) for more expansion and GPU room, while the 1U RS12U maximises rack density and NVMe capacity. Both use dual EPYC 9005.
What power supply does it use?
It uses a redundant 2.7KW power supply, sized for high-TDP CPUs and multiple GPUs.
Singular Expert Insight
The RS720A-E13-RS8U is the accelerator-focused member of the E13 family: choose it when you need PCIe 5.0 slots and multi-GPU support for AI and HPC rather than maximum drive count. If storage density is the priority, the 1U RS700A-E13-RS12U with twelve NVMe bays is the better fit; if you want the previous EPYC 9004 generation, the RS720A-E12-RS12 is the value option. As a barebone with a 2.7KW redundant PSU, it is best configured with us to match CPUs, memory, GPUs and storage to your workload.
Buyer’s Guide
Buy it if
You need dual EPYC 9005 with PCIe 5.0 expansion and multi-GPU support for AI and HPC in a 2U chassis.
Skip it if
You need maximum drive capacity or rack density — the 12-bay RS12U or a higher-bay platform suits storage-heavy roles better.
Also consider
The 1U RS700A-E13-RS12U for NVMe density, or the RS720A-E12-RS12 if EPYC 9004 fits your budget.
