5 optimization

Optimized overclocking and cooling system

5 re-optimization gives your workstation wisdom. One-button operation handles complex tuning tasks, dynamically optimizing key aspects of the system, and providing overclocking and cooling profiles tailored for the computer. The auto-tuning utility provides superior overclocking and cooling based on your system configuration. The fans are muted during daily operations and provide better airflow when the system is exposed to CPU or GPU intensive work. The stress test feature helps optimize and overclock for workloads with high CPU or memory requirements.

Mouse-controlled Chinese graphical BIOS

The smoother, more responsive mouse-controlled Chinese graphical BIOS has been enhanced and is now more appealing. Whether you are a computer novice or a seasoned overclocker, EZ and Advanced Mode can help you get started. Quickly set in EZ mode, apply date and time, fan profile.

Increase memory speed

The third-generation ASUS T-design uses an excellent tracking path to transmit signals in time series and greatly reduce crosstalk, enhance memory stability and compatibility, and support memory speeds above DDR4-4200MHz.

OC Design – ASUS PRO Clock II overclocking technology

The WS X299 Sage features a dedicated base frequency (BCLK) generator that extends CPU and memory overclocking margins.

This custom solution works in conjunction with the TPU to enhance voltage and BCLK overclocking control, allowing you to take advantage of the performance of the Intel® CoreTM X-Series processors.

Flexible thermal control

The WS X299 Sage comes with comprehensive thermal control that can be set via Fan Xpert 4 or UEFI BIOS.

High performance VRM heat sink

Designed for powerful Intel Core X-Series processors up to 18 cores, the thermal design ensures greater performance without CPU throttling. This innovative thermal design combines high-performance VRM heat sinks with a metal fin array design for greater heat dissipation surface area, plus a heat sink and associated heat pipe for even greater thermal performance, no matter how demanding the WS X299 Sage can handle it smoothly.

Multiple PLX radiator

With dual PLX chips, the number of available PCIe channels can be increased to support four GPU configurations, and the WS X299 Sage also provides a powerful thermal solution to eliminate the heat generated by high-speed traffic. Additional heatsink arrays and heat pipes are placed over the PLX chip and placed in a larger airflow path within the chassis to reduce the PLX temperature by approximately 20°C for better heat dissipation and system stability.

ProCool high-intensity power interface

ASUS ProCool is a high-intensity power interface that provides a safer, lower impedance connection for better heat dissipation and increased reliability than traditional power interfaces.

Double onboard M.2

Free storage speed up to 32Gbps

The WS X299 Sage features dual onboard M.2 slots, each running on X4 PCI Express 3.0, providing ample 32Gbps bandwidth.

VROC

Upgrade your RAID

PCH-based RAID arrays have a bottleneck on the DMI bus's 32Gbps limit, and VROC gives you the benefit.

Use the CPU PCIe channel to configure a bootable RAID array with faster data transfer speeds, eliminating the aforementioned limitations.

Dual U.2 interface

Enjoy NVMe innovation

Innovative specifications let your SSD run at full speed. As long as you connect the selected disk drive, you can experience data transfer speeds of up to 32Gbps, while vacating a PCIe slot for retrofitting!
