Overview
The ASUS WS Z390 Pro DDR4 is a full-size ATX workstation motherboard built on the Intel Z390 chipset, designed for professionals and power users who demand maximum expandability and reliability from their platform. Compatible with Intel Socket 1151 processors from the 8th and 9th Generation Core i7, Core i5, Core i3, Pentium, and Celeron families with support for Intel 14 nm CPUs and Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0, this board anchors demanding compute, rendering, and simulation workloads. Multi-GPU capability is a defining strength of the WS Z390 Pro. Four PCIe 3.0 x16 slots support configurations ranging from a single card at full x16 bandwidth, dual cards at x16/x16, triple at x16/x8/x8, or quad cards at x8/x8/x8/x8, enabling NVIDIA Quad-GPU SLI and AMD Quad-GPU CrossFireX setups. An additional PCIe x4 slot rounds out expansion options. Memory support spans four DIMM slots accommodating up to 128 GB of DDR4 RAM. Native speeds of 2133, 2400, and 2666 MHz are supplemented by overclocked profiles reaching up to DDR4-4266 via XMP. ASUS OptiMem II trace routing and ground layer optimizations preserve signal integrity for improved memory stability at higher speeds. Storage options are comprehensive: two M.2 x4 Socket 3 slots (supporting 2242, 2260, 2280, and 22110 form factors in both SATA and PCIe modes), two U.2 connectors, and six SATA 6 Gb/s ports. RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 are supported, as are Intel Rapid Storage Technology and Intel Optane Memory. Each M.2 slot is covered by a dedicated heatsink to manage thermal throttling during sustained transfers. Connectivity includes dual Intel Gigabit LAN (I210-AT and I219-LM controllers with 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet), six USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports at the rear panel, plus additional USB 3.1 Gen 1 and USB 2.0/1.1 ports via the Z390 chipset and ASMedia controllers. Both Type-A and Type-C USB 3.1 Gen 2 headers are present. Audio is handled by a Realtek ALC S1220A 8-channel HD CODEC with Crystal Sound 3, delivering 120 dB SNR stereo playback and 113 dB SNR line-in recording. DTS Connect, DTS Headphone:X, optical S/PDIF output, audio shielding, EMI protection, and a de-pop circuit are all included. System tuning is facilitated by ASUS AI Overclocking, 5-Way Optimization (consolidating TPU, EPU, DIGI+ Power Control, Fan Xpert 4, and Turbo App), and PRO Clock Technology for full BCLK range control. An 8+2 phase digital CPU power design and 2-phase DRAM power design underpin stable delivery under sustained workloads. Cooling management is handled by Fan Xpert 4 with comprehensive fan and water-pump controls.
