The ASUS PRO WS W790-ACE is a workstation motherboard for creative professionals, developers and engineers. It uses the Intel W790 chipset and Socket LGA4677, and supports Intel Xeon W-3400 and W-2400 Series processors. It supports CPU and memory overclocking.
It has 8 DIMM slots and supports up to 2 TB of ECC R-DIMM DDR5 memory (2DPC). The memory trace layout is optimized. Power comes from a 12+1+1 power stage design with an 8-pin PCIe power connector. Heatsinks cover the VRM, chipset and M.2 drives, and an M.2 backplate is included.
For connectivity, it offers five PCIe 5.0 x16 slots, 10G and 2.5G LAN, two M.2 slots, three SlimSAS ports, and front and rear USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C. Server-grade IPMI remote management works at the hardware and software level with the ASUS IPMI expansion card. ASUS Control Center Express software provides real-time monitoring and management. The board is tested for 24/7 operation and has a QVL list for compatibility.
