Description
The Asus Pro WS W790E-SAGE SE motherboard is primarily aimed at professional users and content creators who seek high performance and reliability in a work system.
Additionally, the motherboard is targeted at users who need support for multiple graphics cards and large RAM capacity, up to 2048GB DDR5, for data processing in advanced applications. It also supports technologies such as ECC (Error-Correcting Code) for increased system reliability and supports Intel Xeon W-3400 and W-2400 Series processors.
The Pro WS W790 series workstation motherboard is skillfully tailored for creative professionals, developers, and engineers, unleashing the dominant performance of the latest Intel Xeon processors, with the capability to overclock the CPU and memory. Featuring an optimized memory trace layout, advanced power stage design, server-level IPMI remote management, and ultra-fast PCIe 5.0 connectivity and networking, the Pro WS W790 series combines uncompromising engineering with incredible aesthetics.
Low Profile Professionalism
With black metal aluminum protrusions, black stainless steel mesh with highlighted details, and a transparent gray smoked input/output cover, the Pro WS W790 series presents a low-profile professional look for content creators.
Multi-GPU Support
It features seven PCIe 5.0 x16 slots for high-power graphics cards, allowing enhanced performance for professional design, modeling, simulation, and rendering applications.
Reliability with top-notch memory overclocking
The Pro WS W790E-SAGE SE supports 8-channel 1DPC DDR5 RDIMM ECC memory, allowing automatic detection and correction of data corruption, reducing the likelihood of system crashes. With a deliberate memory trace layout, this motherboard enables DDR5 memory overclocking at maximum speeds, providing better memory performance for a wide range of workloads.
10G Ethernet
Featuring two built-in 10G LAN ports, the pro WS W79E-SAGE SE enables quick transfers of multiple terabytes of your creativity with low latency.
3 M.2
Three integrated M.2 22110 slots on the Pro WS W790E-SAGE SE, two wired for PCIe 5.0 and one for PCIe 4.0, facilitate the installation of an initial set of modules. Creators working with massive video files can combine multiple NVMe devices with RAID for enormous input/output bandwidth and seamless playback in their editing stations. All three of these M.2 modules are supported under dedicated heatsinks to prevent SSD throttling under heavy loads and come with the ASUS Q-Latch.
More storage
To connect even faster storage, the integrated SlimSAS slots allow you to connect industrial SSDs, not to mention server and network equipment, through the fast PCIe 4.0 interface.
BMC remote management
The integrated BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) is a key feature for workstations. It uses a Realtek 1G controller, with a dedicated 1G port for the BMC to provide information for the IPMI architecture. The BMC manages the interface between the system management software and the platform hardware. Administrators can remotely communicate with the BMC to perform certain corrective actions - such as resetting or powering on a system.
ASUS Control Center Express
The Pro WS W790E-SAGE SE comes with ASUS Control Center Express - a real-time IT monitoring and management software designed for businesses that enhances productivity and boosts security, helping to prevent unauthorized access and data leaks.
Pre-installed I/O shield
The patented I/O shield is finished in sleek matte black and comes pre-installed for easy installation on the motherboard, designed to allow airflow to keep heat away from the board.
BIOS Flashback
Users can place a BIOS file on a USB drive formatted in FAT32 and simply connect it to the USB BIOS FlashBack port and press a button to update the BIOS (UEFI). Updates can be made even if there is no memory or CPU.
PCIe SafeSlot
SafeSlot is a PCIe slot redesigned by ASUS to provide optimized retention and shearing resistance. Manufactured in a single step using a new insert molding process, SafeSlot fortifies the slot with metal for increased strength and durability.
