ASUS WS X299 SAGE/10G Intel® X299 LGA 2066 (Socket R4) CEB

The new WS X299 Sage/10G motherboard delivers a blend of tremendous GPU performance with up to Quad-SLI support, server-grade validation, and comprehensive cooling options

It shares the same refined aesthetics as the WS X299 Sage/10G and adds dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports with the Intel X550AT2 10GBASE-T controller for uncompromising networking performance.

Dual PLX chips extend the number of PCIe lanes to provide additional expansion slots, giving you robust connectivity options to configure your system with the tools you need to get your job done.

Workstation-only: dual onboard 10G LAN

Featuring dual onboard 10G LAN ports backed by the cutting-edge Intel X550AT2 10GBASE-T Ethernet controller, the WS X299 Sage/10G provides server-class connectivity that supports high-density, high-bandwidth, and low-latency access-layer networks. With data rates up to 10 Gbps, the WS X299 Sage/10G is able to transfer 4K videos and other large files in a fraction of the time required by conventional networking gear. With the onboard controller, you don't have to give a PCI Express slot to a network card. This frees up space for other components.

Multi-GPU support

The WS X299 Sage/10G 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®. NVIDIA Quadro is the perfect match for WS X299 Sage/10G because it can do more than 15.23 TFLOPS* and gives the best performance for design, modeling, medical research, and simulation and rendering applications that require a lot of processing power.

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

Fan Xpert 4 or the UEFI BIOS can be used to set up the WS X299 Sage/10G's cooling controls, which are the most complete ever.

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.

Dual Onboard M.2 Ultrafast connectivity
