Features
Make Your Memory Go Faster
With optimized trace paths for time-aligned signaling and minimal crosstalk, third-generation ASUS T-Topology offers enhanced memory stability and compatibility, allowing support for memory speeds of DDR4-4200MHz and beyond.
Multiple GPU Support
WS X299 Sage fits up to four dual-slot graphics cards and supports both NVIDIA® SLI™ and AMD CrossFireX™ 4-way configurations to enable multi-GPU setups that harness the full power of the latest graphics technologies, including NVIDIA® Quadro®. With performance beyond 15.23 TFLOPS, NVIDIA Quadro is the perfect complement to WS X299 Sage, delivering the best performance for design, modeling, medical research, and processing-intensive simulation and rendering applications.
5-Way Optimization & PRO Clock II Technology
ASUS 5-Way Optimization provides one-click overclocking, delivering complex tuning while dynamically optimizing essential aspects of the system to provide overclocking and cooling profiles that are tailored for your rig. WS X299 Sage 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.
Effortless IT Management
The embedded ASMB9 module supports remote BIOS updates, fans control, standalone KVM, video recording, and BSOD capture, providing around-the-clock remote monitoring and diagnostics — even if the operating system is down or offline — through a user-friendly, web-based graphical interface that works with all major browsers. When combined with the ASUS Control Center (ACC), IT professionals have a centralized and integrated IT management platform for monitoring and controlling ASUS commercial products, including servers, workstations and digital signage.
Cooler by Design
Designed for the powerful Intel Core X-series processor with up to 18 cores, WS X299 SAGE features a capable thermal design to ensure maximum performance with no CPU throttling. With its dual PLX chips that increase the number of available PCIe lanes to enable 4-way GPU configurations, WS X299 SAGE also features a robust thermal solution to dissipate the heat that comes with routing so much high-speed traffic. Last but not least, ProCool connectors provide a more secure, low resistance connection, enabling better heat dissipation and improved reliability.
Connect Everything, Ultra-Fast
With support for M.2, U.2, Thunderbolt 3, Intel® Optane™ Memory, VROC, USB 3.1 Gen 2, and Dual Intel® server-class Gigabit LAN, the WS X299 SAGE offers all of the connectivity options professionals require from a workstation motherboard.
