ASUS PRO WS X299 SAGE II Professional Workstation Motherboard

The ASUS PRO WS X299 SAGE II is a professional-grade CEB workstation motherboard designed for demanding applications in AI training, deep learning, 3D rendering, animation, and media production. Built on the Intel X299 chipset with LGA 2066 socket compatibility, this motherboard supports Intel Core X-Series processors to deliver exceptional multi-threaded performance.

Multi-GPU Configuration and Expansion

Equipped with seven PCIe Gen 3 x16 slots, the PRO WS X299 SAGE II supports up to four dual-slot graphics cards in NVIDIA 4-Way SLI or AMD 4-Way CrossFireX configurations. This extensive expansion capability makes it ideal for GPU-accelerated workloads, including professional rendering with NVIDIA Quadro cards, deep learning training, and complex simulations.

High-Speed Memory and Storage

The motherboard features eight DDR4 DIMM slots supporting quad-channel memory configurations up to 256GB, with speeds reaching DDR4-4266MHz through overclocking. Third-generation ASUS T-Topology ensures enhanced memory stability with optimized trace paths for minimal crosstalk. For storage, dual M.2 slots (supporting drives up to 110mm) and triple U.2 connectors provide flexible NVMe SSD configurations, with support for bootable RAID arrays via Intel VROC technology. Eight SATA III ports offer additional storage expansion.

Advanced Networking and Connectivity

Dual Intel 2.5G Ethernet ports deliver up to 2.5X bandwidth improvement over standard gigabit connections, enabling faster file transfers and improved network efficiency for large data workflows. USB connectivity includes USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A and Type-C ports, plus multiple USB 3.2 Gen1 and USB 2.0 ports for peripheral support.

AI Overclocking and Thermal Management

ASUS AI Overclocking technology automatically profiles your CPU and cooling system to achieve optimal performance configurations without manual tuning. The ultra-efficient VRM heatsink with metal fin array maximizes heat dissipation surface area, while strategically positioned heatsinks with connecting heat-pipes ensure unthrottled performance under sustained workloads. Fan Xpert 4 provides comprehensive cooling control across multiple fan headers, AIO pump headers, and water pump connections.

Professional Management Features

ASUS Control Center (ACC) integration enables centralized IT management with remote BIOS updates, multi-system monitoring via mobile devices, and one-click software deployment. This makes the PRO WS X299 SAGE II an efficient solution for enterprise workstation deployments. The motherboard also supports Intel Optane memory for accelerated storage performance.

Premium Audio and Customization

The Realtek S1220A codec delivers 120dB SNR for line-out and 113dB SNR for line-in, with impedance-sensing circuitry for automatic headphone optimization. DTS:X Ultra support provides spatial audio enhancement. ASUS Aura Sync RGB lighting offers customizable aesthetics with addressable RGB headers for synchronized lighting effects across compatible components.
