The Asus Pro WS W890-SAGE LGA4710-2 DDR5 Workstation Motherboard CEB is engineered for professionals who demand uncompromising compute density, expandability, and reliability. Built on the Intel® W890 chipset and designed for Intel® LGA4710-2 processors — including support for Intel® Xeon® 600 series CPUs up to 86 cores — this workstation-class platform transforms complex modelling, simulation, rendering, and AI workloads into fluid, productive experiences. With a full SSI CEB form factor (30.5 cm x 28 cm), massive memory capacity, and a rich complement of I/O and expansion options, the Pro WS W890-SAGE is a future-ready foundation for advanced workstations and compact servers.
Benefits
- Massive compute and memory headroom: Support for up to 4TB of DDR5 ECC Registered DIMM (RDIMM) memory across eight slots means you can tackle massive datasets, run larger models, and keep more memory-hungry processes resident without swapping.
- Unmatched expansion flexibility: Four PCIe 5.0 x16 slots and an additional PCIe 4.0 x16 slot provide the bandwidth and configuration options for multi-GPU rendering farms, high-performance accelerators, and specialized I/O cards.
- Optimized for AI and professional workflows: Native support for cutting-edge connectivity (M.2, SlimSAS NVMe, multi-gigabit and 10Gb Ethernet, and USB4 Type-C) speeds data transfer and reduces bottlenecks, accelerating training, inference, and content creation pipelines.
- Enterprise-grade remote management and stability: Ready for server-grade IPMI remote management and compatible with ASUS Control Center Express, the platform simplifies large-scale deployment, monitoring, and maintenance for 24/7 operation.
- Creator-friendly display and audio: Rear USB Type-C with DisplayPort alt mode supporting up to 8K at 60 Hz and Realtek ALC1220P 7.1 surround sound offer pristine visual and audio fidelity for content review and client presentations.
- Feature: High-core CPU support and Intel® W890 chipset compatibility — Built to accept Intel® LGA4710-2 socket processors, including Intel® Xeon® 600 series CPUs (up to 86 cores), the Pro WS W890-SAGE delivers the raw CPU throughput required for multi-threaded engineering, simulation, and AI workloads.
- Feature: Massive DDR5 ECC memory capacity — Eight DDR5 slots with support for ECC Registered DIMM (RDIMM), 3DS-RDIMM, and multiplexed combined rank DIMMs allow up to 4TB of error-correcting memory, ensuring data integrity and enabling large in-memory datasets for analytics and model training.
- Feature: Industry-leading expansion and storage — Four PCIe 5.0 x16 slots (full x16 mode) plus a PCIe 4.0 x16 slot (x4 mode) deliver multi-GPU and accelerator support; storage options include four M.2 slots, two SlimSAS ports for NVMe arrays, and four SATA 6Gb/s ports, with both PCIe and SATA RAID 0/1/5/10 supported for versatile, high-performance storage configurations.
- Feature: High-speed networking and modern I/O — Dual onboard LAN (Realtek 10Gb and Intel® 2.5Gb) enables simultaneous high-throughput local transfers and stable internet connectivity. Rear I/O adds USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C and Type-A ports and two USB4® 40Gbps Type-C connectors, including DisplayPort alt mode for up to 8K@60 support—ideal for multi-monitor and portable display workflows.
- Feature: Robust power delivery and thermal engineering — A 12+2+2+1+2 power-stage design, extensive VRM cooling, active chipset and M.2 fan cooling, M.2 backplates, and thermal pads ensure sustained performance under heavy loads. The board is engineered for dual-PSU operation and validated for continuous 24/7 usage in professional environments.
