ASUS Pro WS X 570-Ace DDR4 AMD Motherboard

The ASUS Pro WS X570-ACE is an ATX-form-factor workstation motherboard built on the AMD X570 chipset for Socket AM4 processors, including AMD Ryzen 3rd-generation and compatible Ryzen 5000-series CPUs (with a BIOS update). It is designed for professionals who demand reliable, high-throughput computing across tasks such as 3D rendering, AI training, and mission-critical data workloads. At the heart of its expansion capability are three PCIe 4.0 x16 slots arranged in a 3-way x8/x8/x8 configuration, enabling up to three double-width graphics cards or high-bandwidth compute accelerators to operate simultaneously. A bundled two-way VGA holder adds mechanical support for heavy cards, helping prevent board flex. Memory support extends to four DDR4 DIMM slots accommodating up to 128 GB of DDR4 SDRAM, with Error-Correcting Code (ECC) memory compatibility for automatic detection and correction of single-bit memory errors — an important feature in professional and scientific environments. ASUS OptiMem trace-routing technology optimises signal integrity to enable higher memory frequencies and lower latencies. Storage options include dual M.2 slots and a U.2 port, all capable of PCIe 4.0 speeds, complemented by rear-panel USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports offering up to 10 Gbps bandwidth in both Type-A and Type-C formats. Network connectivity is provided by dual Gigabit Ethernet LAN controllers that also integrate with ASUS Control Center Express — server-grade remote-management software enabling out-of-band hardware control, remote BIOS updates, and OS deployment across multiple workstations. Power delivery features the ProCool II EATX 8-pin connector with solid metal-armoured pins and a reduced-impedance design to minimise hotspots and connector wear. An board warning LED and BIOS POST message alert users to an improperly seated power connector. The board's metal-fin-array VRM heatsink maximises thermal dissipation surface area to support sustained operation under heavy loads.
