Overview
The ASUS WS X299 Sage is a professional-grade workstation motherboard built around the Intel X299 chipset and designed for Intel LGA 2066 Core X-Series processors. Its CEB form factor (12 x 10.5 inches / 30.5 x 26.7 cm) accommodates demanding multi-GPU and high-storage configurations that push the limits of single-threaded and multi-threaded workloads alike. With seven PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 expansion slots, the WS X299 Sage supports up to 4-Way NVIDIA SLI and 4-Way AMD CrossFireX configurations, making it well-suited for GPU-accelerated compute, 3D rendering, and deep-learning inference workloads. Memory capacity scales with the CPU: 6-core and above processors unlock all eight DIMM slots for up to 128GB of DDR4 (up to 4200 MHz O.C.), while 4-core processors use four slots for up to 64GB. Intel Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) is supported for validated overclocked memory kits. Storage options are equally expansive. Two M.2 Socket 3 slots (one supporting up to 22110 length), two U.2 connectors, and eight SATA 6Gb/s ports provide flexible NVMe and traditional storage connectivity. RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 are supported, along with Intel Virtual RAID on CPU (VROC) for CPU-attached NVMe arrays. Networking is handled by dual Intel LAN controllers — an I210-AT and an I219-LM — both delivering Gigabit Ethernet. Audio is provided by the Realtek ALC S1220A, a 7.1-channel HD codec delivering 120 dB SNR stereo output and 113 dB line-in, with DTS Connect and DTS Headphone:X support and a dedicated de-pop circuit. USB connectivity spans USB 3.1 Gen 2 (Type-A and Type-C via ASMedia controller), USB 3.1 Gen 1, and USB 2.0 ports across the rear I/O and mid-board headers. A Thunderbolt header is present for compatible add-in cards. The board ships with ASUS 5X Protection III (SafeSlot Core, overvoltage protection, stainless-steel back I/O, enhanced DRAM overcurrent protection, and ESD guards), an 8-phase digital CPU VRM, Aura RGB and addressable RGB headers, Fan Xpert 4, and the ASUS USB BIOS Flashback button for firmware recovery without a CPU installed.
