LG Electronics has joined the NVIDIA Partner Network as a Power and Cooling Solution Preferred Partner, gaining qualification for its 2.6-megawatt Coolant Distribution Unit as an NVIDIA DSX Ready CDU, which LG says is the largest cooling capacity among current DSX Ready CDU partners. The company has also completed NVIDIA infrastructure qualification for its 600 kW and 1 MW CDUs, covering cooling performance, failover capabilities, and reliability. The CDUs use direct-to-chip liquid cooling and are designed to work alongside existing air-cooling infrastructure. LG plans to display the qualified units at Data Centre World Asia 2026 on September 29 and 30 in Singapore, and aims to complete NVIDIA qualification for a 4.0 MW CDU by the end of 2026.
Qualification within the NVIDIA DSX Ready program signals that LG's CDUs meet NVIDIA's specific performance and reliability criteria for high-density AI infrastructure, giving hyperscale and colocation operators a vetted option at the 2.6 MW capacity level. LG's pursuit of a 4.0 MW qualification by year-end reflects the industry's trajectory toward rack densities that exceed what traditional air cooling can handle.
Although LG cooling units qualifying for the Nvidia Partner Network was previously published, this article's framing around LG formally joining the NVIDIA Partner Network for AI data center cooling may reflect a distinct follow-on announcement worth flagging for editorial review. The NVIDIA partner network angle and AI data center focus are strong selection signals.
