Overview

The Pro WS Z890-ACE SE empowers workstation users of all levels by maximizing the performance of the latest Intel® Core™ Ultra Processor (Series 2) processors with 16+1+2+2 team power stages, DDR5 slots, PCIe® 5.0 and lightning-fast connectivity including Thunderbolt™ 4 port, 10Gb and 2.5Gb Ethernet.

The workstation motherboard is engineered to support dual graphics cards, making it an ideal choice for content creation, AI and deep learning, and IT management.

Thunderbolt™ Connectivity

The Pro WS Z890-ACE SE features a Thunderbolt™ 4 port, offering high-speed data transfers up to 40Gbps. This allows large files and datasets to be transferred in seconds, boosting productivity for workstation users, AI and deep learning experts, and IT managers. Thunderbolt™ 4 also supports multiple 4K displays or a single 8K display for clear and smooth visuals, essential for professional applications. Its strong compatibility with existing Thunderbolt™ and USB devices simplifies connectivity and management.

PCIe 5.0 Support

The Pro WS Z890-ACE SE offers PCIe 5.0 support to give unfettered bandwidth to the fastest SSDs and graphics cards available.

PCIe 5.0 Expansion Slots

Both of the x16 expansion slots are PCIe 5.0, offering incredible speeds of up to 64 GB/s for compatible devices. To bear the brunt of massive graphics cards, they are also protected with SafeSlot retention brackets, and the both slots can be released easily via Q-Release Slim.

Remote Control Solution

Onboard BMC

The Pro WS Z890-ACE 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.

ASUS Control Center Express

A dedicated chipset heatsink draws heat away to maintain optimum operating temperatures, and it comes with an active fan to enhance thermal efficiency.

USB Port Management

Enable or disable the USB port, or set it to Read Only to prevent data leaks.

Software Blacklist

For added security, a software blacklist is available to help prevent the use of high-risk applications.

Registry Editor On/Off

Remotely disable the Registry Editor on client devices to prevent unauthorized changes to system configurations.

The Core of Your Powerful Workstation

Designed to meet the needs of high-core-count CPUs, the Pro WS Z890-ACE SE features 16(90A)+1(90A)+2(90A)+2(80A) power stages that integrate high-side and low-side MOSFETs and drivers into packages rated for up to 90 amps each. This configuration ensures optimal power delivery, efficiency, stability and performance for new Intel® Core™ Ultra Processors (Series 2).

Eight-Layer PCB Design

This enhances quick heat dissipation around the voltage regulators for enhanced stability and overclocking.

ProCool II Connectors

These are built to tight specifications to ensure flush contact with PSU power lines. The resulting lower impedance helps to prevent hotspots and connector failure.

Superior Chokes & Capacitors

These are engineered to resist extreme temperatures, providing a higher level of performance than the industry standard.

Digi+ VRM Control

The ASUS Digi+ voltage-regulator module (VRM) is one of the finest in the industry and ensures ultra-smooth power delivery to the CPU.
