CPU performance boost
Unleash your workstation's full performance with the ASUS AI Suite 3 utility.
The TurboV Processing Unit (TPU) is the intelligence behind our automated
system-tuning utility, offering the ability to fine-tune voltages, monitor
system stats, and adjust overclocking parameters for optimal performance.
All-round energy efficiency
With the Energy Processing Unit (EPU) you'll enjoy system-wide power savings.
The EPU automatically optimizes power consumption and maximizes savings with
Away mode a smart setting that creates an extreme energy-saving scenario by
shutting down unused I/O controllers.
Flexible cooling controls for air or liquid
With WS X299 PRO, you have comprehensive control over fans, water pumps and
even all-in-one (AIO) coolers all via Fan Xpert 4 or our media-acclaimed UEFI.
Whether you're cooling with air or water, Auto-Tuning mode intelligently
configures all parameters with a single click. There's also Extreme Quiet mode,
which reduces all fan speeds to below the default minimum keeping your system
whisper-quiet when performing light tasks.
Precise digital power control
Digi+ delivers real-time control over voltage droop, switching frequency and
power-efficiency settings, allowing you to fine-tune CPU voltage regulation for
ultimate stability and performance.
App-specific optimization for professionals and gamers
Whether you're a professional content creator or gaming enthusiast, you'll
feel the benefit of the ASUS-exclusive Turbo Core app. This intuitive tool
allows you to define CPU overclocking, apply fan profiles, prioritize network
data and optimize audio settings at app level so your WS X299 PRO system is
perfectly optimized for whatever you're doing.
Flagship Performance
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 DDR4-4133MHz and
beyond.
OC Design – ASUS PRO Clock II Technology
WS X299 PRO 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 the IntelCore
X-series processors.
Multi-GPU support
With support for both NVIDIASLI
and AMD CrossFireX 2/3-WAY configurations, WS X299 PRO enables multi-GPU setups
so you can harness the full power of the latest graphics technologies to drive
games at 4K and beyond.

Flexible Cooling Controls
WS X299 PRO features the most comprehensive cooling controls ever,
configurable via Fan Xpert 4 or the UEFI BIOS.
- Multiple temperature sources
- Each header can be set to monitor and react to three
user-configurable thermal sensors, for workload based cooling. All easily
managed by Fan Xpert 4 or UEFI
- Water pump+
- A dedicated header that can supply over 3A to high-performance PWM
or DC water pumps.
- AIO pump
- A dedicated PWM/DC header for self-contained water-cooling
setups.
- 4-pin PWM/DC fan
- Every onboard header supports auto-detection of PWM or DC
fans.
- ASUS Fan Extension Card support
- Includes a header for fan extension card support.
- Smart protection
- A dedicated integrated circuit protects each fan header from
over-temperature and over-current.\
Ultra-efficient VRM Heatsink
Designed for the powerful Intel Core X-series processor with up to 18
cores, WS X299 PRO features a capable thermal design to ensure maximum
performance with no CPU throttling. Consisting of an ultra-efficient VRM
heatsink with a metal fin array design that maximizes surface area for heat
dissipation, plus two additional heatsinks and a connecting heatpipe to further
increase cooling performance, this innovative thermal design ensures WS X299 PRO
is always ready to handle any task, no matter how demanding.
Connect everything, ultra-fast
Dual Onboard M.2 & M.2 heatsink
Perfected cooling for unleashed performance
WS X299 PRO features dual onboard M.2 slots, each operating at X4 PCI
Express 3.0 to provide an abundant 32Gbps of bandwidth. Both slots sit below the
X299 chipset and are covered by a heatsink that reduces drive temps by as much
as 20C, ensuring peak performance under all scenarios.
U.2 connector
