ASUS WS W680M-ACE SE Overview

Streamline your productivity and enhance your editing capabilities with the robust power of the ASUS Pro WS W680M-ACE SE LGA 1700 M-ATX Motherboard. Offering a wide range of connectivity options and multiple interfaces, this motherboard provides you with a solid foundation for your production.

At the heart of the Pro WS motherboard is Intel's LGA 1700 socket, allowing you to add a variety of 12th and 13th gen Core processors. Four DDR5 RAM slots allow you to install up to 192GB of memory to enhance multitasking and render speeds. Four SATA III, two M.2 PCIe SSD, and one SlimSAS slot interface can support a wide range of storage drives that allow quicker data transfer speeds. Between back-panel connections and internal headers, you get USB 2.0, 3.2 Gen 1, Gen 2, and Gen 2x2 support, designed for low-powered devices such as keyboards and mice as well as resource-demanding devices like audio interfaces, external storage arrays, and more. One GbE and dual 2.5 GbE LAN ports are available for teaming functionality, giving you enhanced transfer speeds for quicker video uploading to shared NAS folders, cloud storage platforms, and more.

Workstation Level Performance
ASUS Pro WS W680M-ACE SE is 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. The Pro WS W680-ACE SE includes centralized management software, providing an efficient and cost-effective option for IT administrators.
ECC Memory Support
Designed for creative professionals who require outstanding performance, reliability, and enhanced security, the ASUS Pro WS W680M-ACE SE motherboard is compatible with Intel's 13th and 12th Gen processors for always-on usage scenarios and supports ECC memory to automatically detect and correct data corruption, reducing the chance of system crashes to ensure workstation stability.
Dual 2.5 GbE
Boosted connectivity with dual onboard Ethernet ports. Intel 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet upgrades your traditional LAN connection with an up to 2.5X bandwidth improvement. Using your existing Ethernet cable, you can experience faster file transfers and immediately stream high-resolution videos.
BMC Controller
An integrated BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) is a key feature for workstations. It uses a 1G Realtek controller, with one 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 some corrective actions such as resetting or power cycling a system.
Control Center Express
The ASUS Control Center Express is an intuitive and secure software designed to simplify IT operations and improve workload productivity by providing comprehensive control of all the systems in your organization. Plus, ASUS Control Center Express is compatible with over 100 ASUS motherboards to give you more upgrade flexibility and less compatibility issues across your organization.
SafeSlot and SafeDIMM
PCIe 5.0 is 2x faster than PCIe 4.0, and it is combined with SafeSlot to ensure the highest data speeds. 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 you to insert your modules with speed, accuracy, and confidence.
Expansive Design
Two PCIe 5.0 x16 slots provide flexible system configurability and expandability. With support for NVIDIA Quadro graphics cards for enhanced performance in modelling, simulation, and rendering applications, you can streamline your workload with ease.
Thermal Solution
VRM, PCH, and M.2 heat sinks all offer enhanced thermal capabilities designed for their respective MOSFET, chipset, and storage areas. Each section is designed to withstand heavy loads, especially during prolonged rendering and file exporting sessions. Optimized for 24/7 operation, the Pro WS W680M-ACE SE motherboard is tested to work in temperatures of up to 45°C and 80% humidity, ensuring it can handle diverse operating environments.
