FUNCTION-FIRST

AESTHETICS

Low-profile professionalism​​

With metallic black aluminum extrusions, stainless steel black mesh with highlighted details, and a transparent smoky gray I/O cover, Pro WS W790 series presents a professional, low-profile look for content creators.​

Multi-GPU support

Pro WS W790E-SAGE SE features seven PCIe® 5.0 x16 slots for high-powered graphics cards, enabling enhanced performance for professional design, modeling and simulation, and rendering applications.

8-pin and 6-pin power connectors

Additional PCIe 8-pin and 6-pin power connectors can add power output stability when creators and developers use many graphic cards onboard.

Reliability with supreme memory overclocking

The Pro WS W790E-SAGE SE supports 8-channel 1DPC DDR5 RDIMM ECC memory, allowing automatically to detect and correct data corruption, reducing the chance of system crashes. Being infused with deliberate memory trace layout, this motherboard enables DDR5 memory overclocking with maxed-out speeds to provide better memory performance for a diverse range of workloads.

ULTRAFAST CONNECTIVITY TO POWER CREATIVITY

Three onboard M.2 22110 slots on the Pro WS W790E-SAGE SE, two wired for PCIe 5.0 and one for PCIe 4.0, make it easy to install an initial set of drives. Creators working with massive video files can RAID together multiple NVMe devices for massive I/O bandwidth and seamless playback in their editing bays. All these three M.2 rest under dedicated heatsinks to prevent SSD throttling under heavy loads and comes with ASUS Q-Latch.

More storage

To connect even more high-speed storage, onboard SlimSAS slots let you connect industrial SSDs — not to mention server and networking equipment — through the fast PCIe 4.0 interface.

Front-panel connector

The front panel USB 3.2 Gen 2 connector is ready for next-gen PC cases and devices.

SERVER-GRADE REMOTE MANAGEMENT

BMC remote management

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.

ASUS Control Center Express

The Pro WS W790E-SAGE SE comes with ASUS Control Center Express - a real-time IT monitoring and management software designed for business that improves productivity and enhances security, helping prevent unauthorized access and data leaks.

THOROUGH THERMAL DESIGN

Chipset heatsink

A dedicated and beefy chipset heatsink draws heat away to maintain optimum operating temperatures.

M.2 heatsinks

Three M.2 slots are covered by heatsinks to combat temperature-induced throttling that can affect performance during heavy, sustained storage loads. M.2 backplate blocks on select slots go even further to ensure that you get peak performance from your next-gen drives.
