CPU AND MEMORY 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 W890-SAGE 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.
INNOVATIVE COOLING AND ROBUST PERFORMANCE
Power Stages in VRM Area
The Pro WS W890-SAGE voltage regulator module setup is comprised of 12+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.
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
An additional 8-pin PCIe cable connector built into the motherboard can ensure power output stability when multiple graphic cards need to be installed.
ECC R-DIMM Memory Support
The Pro WS W890-SAGE 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.
