ASUS PRO WS W680-ACE IPMI Intel W680 LGA 1700 ATX

WORKSTATION MOTHERBOARD
ASUS Pro Workstation motherboards are designed for professionals in AI training, deep learning, animation, 3D rendering, or media production. With expandable graphics, extensive storage, impressive connectivity, and exceptional overall performance and reliability, Pro Workstation motherboards are the ideal solution for creative professionals. Each motherboard includes centralized management software, making them an efficient and cost-effective option for IT administrators as well.

Ultra-Strong Rear Connectors
The motherboard features four USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, a reversible USB Type-C® port, and a front panel connector to support additional USB expansion.

ECC Memory Support
The ASUS Pro WS W680-ACE motherboard is designed for creative professionals who need outstanding performance, reliability, and enhanced security. Powered by the latest 13th and 12th Gen Intel® processors, it supports ECC memory which automatically detects and corrects data errors.

BMC Remote Management
The ASUS IPMI expansion card is equipped with a dedicated Ethernet controller for the BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) chip, which provides the intelligence for the IPMI architecture. Administrators can communicate remotely with the BMC to take specific corrective actions, such as resetting or powering off a system.

Dual 2.5G Ethernet
Enhanced connectivity with two onboard Ethernet ports. Intel® 2.5G Ethernet boosts your traditional LAN connection with up to a 2.5 times bandwidth improvement. Using your existing Ethernet cable, you can experience faster file transfers and instantly stream high-resolution videos.

ASUS Control Center Express
The best enterprise performance requires intelligent IT management. ASUS Control Center Express is an intuitive and secure software that simplifies IT operations and increases work productivity by enabling comprehensive control over all systems in your organization. Additionally, ASUS Control Center Express is compatible with over 100 ASUS motherboards, giving you more flexibility when upgrading and fewer compatibility issues.

Multi-GPU Support
Two PCIe® 5.0 x16 slots provide flexible system configurability and expansion options — including support for NVIDIA® Quadro® — for greater performance in modeling, simulation, and rendering applications.

Three M.2 Slots
Three M.2 slots support PCIe® 4.0 and offer data transfer speeds of up to 64 Gbps and flexible M.2 interfaces. RAID 0/1/5/10 configuration is available for data backup and increases overall system fault tolerance, storage capacity, and SSD performance.

Thermal Solution
VRM Heatsink
A large, high-mass heatsink with a large surface area covering the VRM and choke areas enhances heat dissipation.

PCH Heatsink
An enlarged surface area for the chipset heatsink maximizes performance and heat dissipation.

M.2 Heatsink
The M.2 slot has its own heatsink, keeping the M.2 SSD at optimal operating temperature to ensure consistent performance and reliability.

Q-Latch
The innovative Q-Latch makes it easy to install or remove an M.2 SSD without special tools. The design uses a simple locking mechanism to secure the drive, eliminating the need for traditional screws.

SafeSlot & SafeDIMM
PCIe® 5.0 is 2x faster than PCIe® 4.0. That's why ASUS has adapted the SMT manufacturing process for the faster SafeSlot to ensure the highest data speeds. SafeSlot is a reinforced metal sheath added to a PCIe® slot to securely fasten a card. The robust ASUS SafeDIMM sheaths support and protect memory modules on selected ASUS motherboards, allowing you to insert your modules quickly, precisely, and safely.

24/7 Reliability
Optimized for 24/7 operation, the Pro WS W680-ACE motherboard has been tested for temperatures up to 45 °C and 80% humidity to ensure it can handle various operating environments.

Solid Compatibility Verification
The ASUS Pro WS W680-ACE motherboard has been extensively tested for compatibility with over 1,000 components and devices. Every new ASUS motherboard model undergoes rigorous testing for at least 8,000 hours, giving you 100% confidence that it is suitable for all environments and applications.
