Active VRM Cooling Solutions
The extruded aluminum heatsinks on the MOSFETs and chokes contain active cooling to greatly enhance thermal efficiency.
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
Two additional 8-pin PCIe cable connectors built into the motherboard can ensure power output stability when multiple graphic cards need to be installed.
ASUS Control Center Express
The Asus Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE SE Workstation Motherboard comes with ASUS Control Center Express, real-time IT monitoring and management software designed for business that improves productivity and enhances security and can help prevent unauthorized access and data leaks.
Chipset Cooling
A dedicated chipset heatsink draws heat away to maintain optimum operating temperatures, and it comes with an active fan to enhance thermal efficiency.
10 Gb LAN Cooling
An optimally located and extended heatsink on the 10 Gb Ethernet controller ensures stable high-speed networking performance.
M.2 Heatsinks with Active Fan
An active fan provides an additional cooling method to M.2 slots. All four M.2 slots come with large heatsinks to keep NVMe storage at the optimal operating temperature for consistent performance and reliability. M.2 thermal pads on select slots go even further to ensure peak performance for next-gen drives.
Thorough and Flexible Way to Adjust the Fans
The Asus Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE SE Workstation Motherboard offers advanced fan control, configurable via an IPMI web UI, Q-FAN in the UEFI BIOS*, or Fan Xpert 4 in Armoury Crate for Windows*
Multiple Temperature Source
Each header can be connected to a 3A-12V high speed fan and set to monitor and react to three user-configurable thermal sensors for workload-based cooling. All settings can be easily managed by Fan Xpert 4, UEFI and IPMI web interfaces.
Built for around-the-clock operation
Optimized for 24/7 operation, the Asus Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE SE Workstation Motherboard is tested to work at up to 45°C and 80% humidity, ensuring it can handle diverse operating environments.
