Multi-GPU Support

Two PCIe 5.0 x16 slots provide flexible system configurability and expandability — including support for NVIDIA® Quadro® — for enhanced performance in modelling, simulation, and rendering applications

Triple M.2 Slots

Triple M.2 slots support PCIe 4.0, offering up to 64 Gbps data-transfer speeds and flexible M.2 interfaces. The RAID 0/1/5/10 configuration are available for the data protection and increases fault tolerance to the entire system, higher storage capacity and better SSD performance 

Thermal Solution

VRM heatsink

A large, high-mass heatsink with extensive surface that covers the VRM and choke areas improves heat dissipation.

PCH heatsink

An expanded surface area for the chipset cooler maximizes performance and heat dissipation.

M.2 heatsink

M.2 slot has a dedicated heatsink keep the M.2 SSD at optimum operating temperature to ensure consistent performance and reliability.

Q-Latch

The innovative Q-Latch makes it easy to install or remove an M.2 SSD without the need for specific tools. The design employs a simple locking mechanism to secure the drive and neatly eliminate traditional screws

SafeSlot & SafeDIMM

PCIe 5.0 is 2x faster than PCIe 4.0, so we adapted our SMT manufacturing process for the faster SafeSlot, to ensure the highest data speeds. SafeSlot is a reinforced metal sheath added to a PCIe slot to keep a card firmly installed. Meanwhile, strong ASUS SafeDIMM sheathes support and protect memory modules on select ASUS motherboards, empowering you to insert your modules with speed, accuracy and confidence.

24/7 Dependability

Optimized for 24/7 operation, Pro WS W680-ACE motherboard is tested to work in temperatures of up to 45°C and 80% humidity, ensuring it can handle diverse operating environments

Solid Compatibility Validation

ASUS Pro WS W680-ACE motherboard has been extensively tested for compatibility with over 1,000 components and devices. Each new ASUS motherboard model undergoes a minimum of 8,000 hours of strict tests so that you can be 100% confident it is suitable for all environments and applications
