ASUS PRO WS WRX80E-SAGE SE WIFI II Workstation Motherboard

The ASUS PRO WS WRX80E-SAGE SE WIFI II is an extended-ATX workstation motherboard engineered for AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO processors. Built on the AMD WRX80 chipset with sWRX8 socket, this motherboard delivers exceptional performance for professional workloads including video editing, 3D rendering, and complex simulations.

Multi-GPU Performance

Equipped with seven PCIe 4.0 x16 slots featuring SafeSlot fortification, this motherboard supports NVIDIA 4-Way/3-Way/2-Way SLI configurations. The robust power delivery system includes 16 power stages and dual 6-pin PCIe power connectors, ensuring stable operation when running multiple high-powered graphics cards simultaneously.

Enterprise-Grade Connectivity

Dual Intel X550-AT2 10Gb Ethernet controllers provide server-grade networking with low latency, ideal for handling multi-terabyte file transfers. WiFi 6E technology utilizes the 6GHz spectrum for ultrafast wireless speeds, while USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C delivers up to 20Gbps transfer rates. The motherboard includes comprehensive USB support with ten USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports across rear and internal headers.

Advanced Storage Configuration

Three M.2 PCIe 4.0 slots with dedicated heatsinks and Q-Latch installation system support high-speed NVMe SSDs. Two U.2 connectors accommodate enterprise storage devices. The included ASUS Hyper M.2 x16 Gen 4 expansion card enables bootable NVMe RAID arrays with up to 10 drives, delivering throughput up to 8x faster than individual PCIe 3.0 x4 SSDs. Eight SATA III ports provide additional storage flexibility.

Professional Memory Support

Eight DIMM slots support up to 2048GB of ECC DDR4 memory across eight channels. ECC functionality automatically detects and corrects data corruption, reducing system crashes during critical workloads. Proprietary memory trace layout improves signal integrity and enables memory overclocking for enhanced performance.

Remote Management Capability

The integrated ASMB9-iKVM module features an AST-2500 BMC chip providing IPMI-based out-of-band management. Administrators can remotely monitor, control, and troubleshoot systems including power cycling and BIOS configuration through a dedicated 10Gb Ethernet port, enhancing IT efficiency for professional environments.

Thermal Management

Comprehensive cooling includes skived-fin VRM heatsinks, an actively cooled chipset heatsink with a 60,000-hour L10 lifespan fan, and dedicated M.2 heatsinks to prevent thermal throttling. The SOC heatsink uses a semi-passive fan to cool the dual 10G LAN controllers. Multiple 4-pin fan headers provide granular cooling control.

24/7 Reliability

Tested for continuous operation at temperatures up to 45°C and 80% humidity, this workstation motherboard is validated for around-the-clock dependability. The professional aesthetic features metallic black aluminum extrusions, stainless steel mesh, and a transparent gray I/O cover suitable for content creation environments.

Audio and Expansion

Realtek ALC4080 codec delivers 7.1 surround sound with optical S/PDIF output. Additional features include BIOS FlashBack, Clear CMOS buttons, FlexKey customization, TPM support, and comprehensive internal headers for chassis integration. The package includes six SATA cables, WiFi antennas, Hyper M.2 expansion card, and Q-Latch installation accessories.
