ASUS WS W680-ACE IPMI Reviews

Great board, disappointing IPMI

By Andy
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2024-06-04

If I were to buy this again, I would opt for the version without the IPMI addon card. Great board and feature set, but IPMI seems like an afterthought and has limited features compared to the competition.

MB 5, IPMI card 3

The motherboard is terrific, so far. The IPMI card... Documentation is awful, installation has been problematic.

what is the difference between ASUS Pro WS W680-ACE *IPMI* Motherboard and ASUS Pro WS W680-ACE motherboards?
Asked by: Chris
The ASUS Pro WS W680-ACE IPMI LGA 1700 ATX Motherboard, B&H # ASPWSW680ACI, includes the IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) expansion card, which has a dedicated Ethernet controller to the BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) chip. This allows for users to remotely communicate with the BMC and, for example, reset or power cycle a system remotely. The ASUS Pro WS W680-ACE, B&H # ASPWSW680ACE, does not have this functionality since it does not have a BMC or IPMI expansion card.
