ASUS PRO WS W680M-ACE SE Intel W680 LGA 1700 micro ATX

WORKSTATION MOTHERBOARD
ASUS Pro Workstation motherboards are designed for professionals in AI training, deep learning, animation, 3D rendering, or media production. Featuring 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.

Extremely Powerful Rear Connections
The motherboard features four USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, a reversible USB Type-C® connector, and front-panel connectors to support additional USB expansion.

ECC Memory Support
The ASUS Pro WS W680M-ACE SE motherboard is designed for creative professionals who require outstanding performance, reliability, and enhanced security. Powered by the latest 13th and 12th Gen Intel® processors for always-on usage scenarios, it supports ECC memory to automatically detect and correct data errors.

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

BMC Remote Management
An embedded BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) is a key feature for workstations. It uses a 1G Realtek controller, with a 1G port dedicated to the BMC to provide the intelligence for its IPMI architecture. The BMC manages the interface between system management software and platform hardware. Administrators can remotely communicate with the BMC to take certain corrective actions, such as resetting or powering down a system.

ASUS Control Center Express
Superior business performance demands smart IT management. ASUS Control Center Express is an intuitive and secure software designed to simplify IT operations and improve work productivity by providing comprehensive control across 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.

Dual M.2 & SlimSAS Storage
Two PCIe® 4.0 M.2 slots are available for seamless operation between PCIe® 4.0 SSD storage devices. Users working with large files can group multiple NVMe™ devices into a RAID array to achieve greater I/O bandwidth and seamless playback in their editing bays. A SlimSAS port connects to a SlimSAS device under the PCIe® 4.0 x4 channel to support up to 4 SATA devices via a transfer cable, supporting SATA RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10.

* These features require Intel® Rapid Storage Technology and Intel® Optane H-series memory in the M.2 slots connected to the PCH.

Cooling Solution
VRM Heatsink
A large, dedicated heatsink with a large surface area covering the VRM and choke areas improves 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 for 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, so ASUS has adapted its 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 install a card. The strong 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 W680M-ACE SE motherboard has been tested for temperatures up to 45°C and 80% humidity, making it suitable for a wide variety of operating environments.

Compatibility Validation
The ASUS Pro WS W680M-ACE SE motherboard has been extensively tested for compatibility with over 1,000 components and devices. Every new ASUS motherboard model undergoes at least 8,000 hours of rigorous testing, so you can be 100% confident that it is suitable for all environments and applications.
