The ASUS Pro WS W680-ACE is an ATX workstation motherboard built on Intel's W680 chipset for LGA 1700 processors. It stands out with ECC DDR5 memory support, PCIe 5.0 for a graphics card, dual Intel 2.5 Gb Ethernet and three PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots, plus SlimSAS and SATA for large storage arrays. That combination of ECC and PCIe 5.0 is rare on consumer boards, which makes it a fit for AI training, rendering and media work where a crash is costly. It trades gaming extras like heavy RGB and overclocking headroom for reliability and remote management, so enthusiasts may prefer a Z790 board while workstation builders get the features they need.

Owners treat it as a dependable workstation board: they value ECC support, the PCIe 5.0 slot and the storage options, and report stable long runs under rendering and training loads. Complaints center on the lack of Wi-Fi and the limited overclocking that comes with the W680 chipset.
The ASUS Pro WS W680-ACE is an ATX workstation motherboard built on the Intel W680 chipset with an LGA 1700 socket. It supports 13th and 12th Gen Intel processors and is made for always-on use in work such as AI training, deep learning, animation, 3D rendering and media production.
It has four DDR5 memory slots and supports both ECC and non-ECC memory. ECC memory detects and corrects data corruption. Two PCIe 5.0 x16 slots allow multi-GPU setups, including NVIDIA Quadro cards. Three PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots support RAID 0/1/5/10 and offer up to 64 Gbps transfer speeds.
Cooling comes from a VRM heatsink, a chipset heatsink and an M.2 heatsink. The Q-Latch lets you install or remove an M.2 SSD without tools or screws. SafeSlot reinforces the PCIe slots to hold cards firmly in place, and SafeDIMM sheathes protect the memory modules. The board is designed for 24/7 operation and tested at temperatures up to 45°C and 80% humidity. ASUS Control Center Express software provides centralized IT management.
