The Asus Pro WS W680-ACE IPMI is an ATX workstation board for Intel LGA-1700 CPUs on the W680 chipset. Its headline is a dedicated BMC with IPMI, so you get out-of-band remote management, plus ECC DDR5 support, dual PCIe 5.0 x16 slots and dual 2.5 Gb Ethernet. It suits builders of small servers, CAD and rendering workstations, and lab machines who need remote control and ECC more than gaming features. Against consumer Z790 boards it trades overclocking and RGB for ECC, IPMI and validated 24/7 operation; against server boards it stays ATX and takes standard desktop parts.

Owners and reviewers treat it as a solid, no-frills workstation board whose IPMI and ECC support are the reason to buy. Most criticism centers on the fiddly BMC setup and the modest power and connectivity for the money.
