Buy NVIDIA H100 GPUs for Data Center Deployment

Enterprises that want to buy NVIDIA H100 GPUs face a wide price spread depending on condition, form factor, and order volume. The h100 80gb price ranges between $25,000 and $40,000, while refurbished and used options bring the entry point down. 

Orange Hardwares stocks H100 GPU for sale across all three tiers, backed by verified sourcing and warranty coverage. Buyers researching H100 GPU price should treat these ranges as a starting point, since final cost depends on quantity, region, and form factor.

Pricing Tiers: New, Refurbished, and Used

The NVIDIA H100 price per unit varies by condition. Refurbished H100 GPU options carry partial warranty coverage. Buyers looking for a used H100 GPU for sale typically prioritize budget over warranty length.

Refurbished units hold most of their value since demand for Hopper class inference capacity stays strong. Frontier scale training benefits more from new units, since fleet level variance gets amplified across large clusters.

Bulk and Wholesale Pricing

Orders of four or more units usually qualify for a lower H100 wholesale price. Volume contracts with our procurement team can cut the per unit cost by several thousand dollars. For a bulk H100 GPU order, our sales team quotes pricing based on quantity, timeline, and whether you need PCIe or SXM5.

H100 SXM5 vs PCIe

Comparing H100 SXM5 vs PCIe comes down to power, bandwidth, and how many GPUs you plan to connect.

• PCIe 80GB: HBM2e memory at 2,000 GB/s bandwidth, draws 350W, fits standard chassis.

• SXM5 80GB: HBM3 memory at 3,350 GB/s bandwidth, draws 700W, connects through NVLink at 900 GB/s.

For a single card workload, PCIe delivers simpler deployment. For training across four to eight GPUs, SXM5 becomes close to mandatory, since PCIe clusters hit communication bottlenecks beyond two to four cards.

H100 GPU Specs at a Glance

• Architecture: Hopper, 4 nanometer process, 80 billion transistors

• Peak performance: Up to 989 TFLOPS in FP16 without sparsity

• Precision formats: Seven total, from FP64 to FP8

• Transformer Engine: Switches automatically between FP8 and FP16

• Memory: 80GB HBM3 (SXM5) or HBM2e (PCIe)

• Interconnect: NVLink support on SXM5

OEM Systems: Dell, HPE, Supermicro, Lenovo, Asus, and PNY

• Dell H100 server: PowerEdge builds generally run $250,000 to $320,000 for a full 8-GPU system.

• HPE H100 GPU: ProLiant and Cray systems land in the same range, shaped by support contracts.

• Supermicro H100 system: Builds sit at the lower end, with 8-GPU configurations starting near $220,000.

• Lenovo ThinkSystem H100: Pricing runs close to Dell and HPE, reflecting bundled service coverage.

• Asus H100 server: Configurations target smaller data centers, with node options below a full 8-GPU deployment.

• PNY H100 price: Reflects the GPU alone, since PNY sells standalone cards. Expect $25,000 to $30,000 for PCIe and $35,000 to $40,000 for SXM5.

Across every OEM, the underlying silicon stays identical, and price differences come from chassis, cooling, and support level.

H100 GPU for Data Center Deployment

Data center teams choose the H100 for large scale AI training, high throughput inference, and HPC workloads needing both compute and memory bandwidth. Each SXM5 card draws up to 700W, so dense clusters need dedicated power distribution and often liquid cooling.

Availability and Lead Times

H100 GPU availability has improved since the early supply constraints of 2023, but H100 GPU lead time still depends on configuration and order size. PCIe orders typically ship faster than SXM5 systems, since SXM5 cards ship as part of complete HGX configurations. 

Orange Hardwares recommends confirming timelines with our team before committing to a delivery date, and we maintain relationships with multiple suppliers to keep lead times short.

H100 vs H200: Is It Still Worth Buying

The H100 vs H200 comparison comes up often now that H200 supply has expanded. The H200 offers 141GB of HBM3e memory against the H100's 80GB, along with higher bandwidth. NVIDIA has confirmed continued H100 production and driver support for years to come, so obsolescence risk stays low. For workloads that do not need the extra memory, the H100 remains a cost effective choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How much does an H100 GPU cost per unit?

New units run $25,000 to $40,000. Refurbished and used cards start much lower, so your budget shapes which tier fits best.

2. Do you offer bulk discounts on H100 GPUs?

Yes, orders of four or more units qualify for reduced pricing. Reach out to our team and we will send a quote.

3. What is the difference between H100 PCIe and SXM5?

PCIe draws less power and fits standard servers. SXM5 runs hotter but scales better across multiple GPUs through NVLink.

4. Is a refurbished H100 GPU reliable for production?

Yes, especially for inference and fine tuning work. Refurbished cards hold up well in single node setups without major performance loss.

5. What is the lead time on bulk H100 orders?

It depends on the configuration you choose. PCIe orders usually ship faster than SXM5 systems tied to HGX server builds.

6. Do you sell H100 GPUs to schools and universities?

Yes, we work with academic institutions on both single unit and bulk research purchases, including refurbished options for tighter budgets.

7. Can I buy a single H100 or is this wholesale only?

Both options work here. We sell single cards for testing and bulk pricing for larger data center builds.

8. What power and cooling do I need for an H100 cluster?

Plan for up to 700W per SXM5 card. Dense clusters usually need dedicated power distribution and liquid cooling to manage heat.

9. Do you provide warranty on used H100 GPUs?

Yes, used and refurbished units include warranty coverage, though terms vary by condition. Ask our team for specifics before ordering.

10. Is the H100 still worth buying with H200 and B200 out?

Yes, for most workloads. It still offers strong performance and lower cost than the newer generations currently on the market.

11. Is a Dell or Supermicro H100 server the same GPU as NVIDIA's?

Yes, the silicon is identical either way. You are really paying extra for the chassis, cooling, and integration testing involved.
