Onboard Gen5 MCIO

An onboard MCIO x8 connector (PCIe 5.0 x4/x4) delivers lightning-fast data transfer, supports high-performance NVMe storage, allows flexible device expansion, and ensures efficient cable management — ideal for workstations demanding exceptional bandwidth and connectivity.

Overclocking Ready

For Intel W890 series workstations, we offer CPU and DRAM overclocking options. To fully leverage the performance of these processors, ASUS has incorporated an innovative dual PSU design on the Pro WS W890E-SAGE SE motherboard. Along with robust power delivery and advanced cooling modules, this motherboard exhibits enhanced stability during overclocking. Hardware switches and optimized BIOS options provide overclocking enthusiasts with greater convenience when pushing their systems to the limit. You may further boost your memory performance by enabling XMP settings. NitroPath DRAM Technology provides enhanced DDR5 memory performance. Shorter gold finger pins and optimized signal pathways ensure faster data transfers between your DRAM and CPU, allowing for greater memory overclocking headroom and stability.

16+2+2+1+2

The Pro WS W890E-SAGE SE voltage regulator module setup is comprised of 16+2+2+1+2 power stages, delivering the power and efficiency that the latest Intel® Xeon® 600 Processors for Workstation demand, with stability for extreme overclocking.

VRM Cooling Solutions

Both sides of the VRM feature extruded aluminum heatsinks that deliver exceptional heat dissipation. The left heatsink comes with a built-in active cooling fan for enhanced MOSFET cooling, while the right side supports the included the AngleBoost Fan Kit, providing additional airflow for both the MOSFET and DRAM areas.

AngleBoost Fan Kit

A detachable cooling solution designed to deliver active and efficient airflow to tightly spaced DDR5 modules and the MOS area. With Fan Xpert 4 support, the fan intelligently detects temperatures and automatically adjusts fan speed for optimized and efficient cooling performance.

ProCool II Connectors

ProCool II connectors ensure a snug and reliable connection to the 12V CPU input. This second generation features improved heat dissipation and a metal shroud.

Onboard PCIe Power Connectors

Two additional 8-pin PCIe cable connectors? built into the motherboard can ensure power output stability when multiple graphic cards need to be installed.

ECC RDIMM Memory Support

The Pro WS W890E-SAGE SE motherboard boasts a robust design featuring eight R-DIMM DDR5 memory module slots with ECC support, to improve the prevention of system crashes and data corruption, thereby ensuring that a workstation remains reliable and responsive for professional demands.

On-board BMC

Pro WS W890E-SAGE SE workstation motherboard features compatibility with BMC connections, and it is bundled with ASUS Control Center Express software to provide comprehensive in-band and out- of-band management features for businesses and industries.

Control Centre Express

The Pro WS W890E-SAGE SE comes with ASUS Control Center Express, real-time IT monitoring and management software designed for business that improves productivity and enhances security and can help prevent unauthorized access and data leaks.

Overkill Thermals

A heavy chipset heatsink smashes any accumulation and keeps heat pockets in control with an active fan. Next to this you'll find that every NVMe M.2 slot has a large dedicated heatsink for maximum reliability as gen 5 speeds are known to get toasty within the upper bracket. Remove the headache of prioritising one slot with special treatment and rest assured that all four slots get equal premium cooling. The powerful 10GbE LAN ports also get recognition as 24/7 feedback can heat the ports and slow performance over time.

Comprehensive Fan Controls

The Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE SE offers advanced fan control, configurable via an IPMI web UI, Q-FAN in the UEFI BIOS*, or Fan Xpert 4 in Armoury Crate for Windows. Each header can be connected to a 3A/12V high speed fan and set to monitor and react to thermal sensors for workload-based cooling. All settings can be easily managed by Fan Xpert 4, UEFI and IPMI web interfaces.

SafeSlot & SafeDIMM

PCIe 5.0 is 2X faster than PCIe 4.0, so ASUS adapted its SMT manufacturing process to ensure the highest data speeds for its SafeSlot design. SafeSlot is a reinforced metal sheath added to a PCIe slot to keep a card firmly installed. Meanwhile, strong ASUS SafeDIMM sheathes support and protect memory modules on select ASUS motherboards, empowering users to insert modules with speed, accuracy and confidence.
