OC Design – ASUS PRO Clock II Technology WS X299 Sage/10G includes a dedicated base-clock (BCLK) generator that extends CPU and memory overclocking margins. This custom solution works in tandem with the TPU to enhance voltage and BCLK overclocking control, providing the flexibility to extract every ounce of performance from Intel® Core™ X-series processors. Cooler by Design Flexible Cooling Controls WS X299 Sage/10G features the most comprehensive cooling controls ever, configurable via Fan Xpert 4 or the UEFI BIOS. Advanced thermal design for maximized performance Designed for the all-around workstation, WS X299 Sage/10G features a robust thermal solution that dissipates heat from the VRM, Ethernet controller and PLX chips to prevent throttling. An additional heatsink array covers these components and heatpipes lie within the path of maximum chassis airflow to provide optimal cooling for your workstation, ensuring maximum performance and system stability. ProCool power connector ASUS ProCool is the power connector reinvented. Compared with traditional power connectors, ProCool connectors provide a more secure, low resistance connection, enabling better heat dissipation and improved reliability. Ultrafast connectivity Dual Onboard M.2 Unleashed storage speeds of up to 32Gbps WS X299 Sage/10G features dual onboard M.2 slots, each operating at X4 PCI Express 3.0 to provide an abundant 32Gbps of bandwidth. VROC Upgrade your RAID Intel Virtual RAID on CPU (VROC) obliterates PCH-based RAID arrays that are bottlenecked by the 32Gbps limit of the DMI bus, allowing you to utilize CPU PCIe lanes to configure a bootable RAID array that can transfer data at insane speeds. *A VROC key is required to enable VROC RAID arrays. For information about VROC key availability, please contact your local Intel representative. U.2 connectors Join the NVMe revolution The revolutionary specification that lets your SSDs scream at top speed. Simply attach your choice of drive and experience data-transfer speeds of up to 32Gbps — and free up a PCIe slot for another expansion card. Intel Optane memory Intel Optane memory ready Intel® Optane™ is a revolutionary non-volatile memory technology supported by WS X299 Sage/10G. Intel Optane memory modules accelerate attached storage to reduce boot and load times, so everything feels faster and more responsive. USB 3.1 Gen 2 front-panel connector Future-proof connectivity WS X299 Sage/10G's front panel USB 3.1 connector is ready for next-gen PC cases and devices. USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A & Type-C Ultimate-speed 10Gbps with USB 3.1 Gen 2 onboard With backward-compatible USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A™ and reversible USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C™ ports, you'll experience ultimate connection flexibility and blazing data-transfer speeds of up to 10Gbps. Reliable stability and validation Server-grade memory validation WS X299 Sage/10G supports up to 128GB of quad-channel DDR4 RAM to readily handle the larger data sets found in professional workloads. Strict validation with a wide variety of memory types and operating conditions — including factors such as time, temperature and voltage ranges — ensures that WS X299 Sage/10G provides the reliability and stability professionals depend upon to get their work done.
