Reliability with maximum memory overclocking
The Pro WS W790E-SAGE SE supports 8-channel 1DPC DDR5 RDIMM ECC memory, which automatically detects and corrects data errors, thus reducing the risk of system crashes. Thanks to its well-designed memory layout, this motherboard allows DDR5 memory to be overclocked at maximum speeds to deliver improved memory performance for a wide range of workloads.

ULTRA-FAST CONNECTIVITY FOR MORE CREATIVITY

Intel® X710-AT2 Dual 10G Ethernet
The Pro WS W790E-SAGE SE is equipped with two integrated 10G LAN ports and enables the transfer of several terabytes with low latency.

USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C®
The latest USB standard doubles the transfer bandwidth by opening an additional USB 3.2 lane to achieve a maximum throughput of up to 20 Gbps. In addition to blazing-fast data transfer speeds, USB 3.2 offers easy connectivity and ultimate flexibility via USB-C ports.

3 M.2
The Pro WS W790E-SAGE SE“s three integrated M.2 22110 slots, two connected via PCIe® 5.0 and one via PCIe® 4.0, simplify drive installation. Creative professionals working with large video files can combine multiple NVMe devices in a RAID configuration for massive I/O bandwidth and seamless playback in their editing suites. All three M.2 slots are located beneath dedicated heatsinks to prevent SSD throttling under heavy load and feature ASUS Q-Latch.

More storage space
To connect even more high-speed storage, you can use SlimSAS slots for industrial SSDs as well as for server and network devices via the fast PCIe® 4.0 interface.

Front panel connector
The front-mounted USB 3.2 Gen 2 port is ready for next-generation PC cases and devices.

SERVER-GRADE REMOTE MANAGEMENT

BMC remote administration
An integrated Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) is a key feature for workstations. It utilizes a 1G Realtek controller, with one 1G port dedicated exclusively to the BMC to provide the intelligent 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 off a system.

Remote administration at server level

ASUS Control Center Express
The Pro WS W790E-SAGE SE comes with ASUS Control Center Express – a real-time IT monitoring and management software for businesses that improves productivity and increases security to prevent unauthorized access and data leaks.

SOLID COOLING DESIGN

Massive VRM heat sinks
Since mass and airflow are crucial, the VRM heatsinks are manufactured with tall, densely packed fins and positioned on the MOSFETs and chokes to improve thermal efficiency. The additional fan bracket allows for the installation of up to three high-speed fans* that dissipate heat from the VRM areas, maximizing the performance of the latest Intel® processors.
* Fan size: 40mm x 40mm x 28mm. Fans are sold separately.

Chipset heatsink
A special and robust chipset heat sink dissipates the heat and ensures optimal operating temperatures.

M.2 heatsink
Three M.2 slots are covered by heatsinks to prevent thermal throttling, which can negatively impact performance under heavy, sustained storage loads. M.2 backplate blocks on select slots ensure your next-gen drives deliver even more performance.

DIY-FRIENDLY

Pre-assembled connection panel
The patented I/O shield features a sleek matte black finish and comes pre-mounted on the motherboard for easy installation. It is designed to allow airflow to keep heat away from the board.

BIOS FlashBack™
Users can place a BIOS file on a FAT32-formatted USB drive, simply plug it into the USB BIOS FlashBack™ port, and press a button to update the (UEFI) BIOS. Updates can be performed even if neither memory nor a CPU is present.

WORK WITH FUN
