Remote Control Solution - Onboard BMC
The Pro WS Z890-ACE SE workstation motherboard features compatibility with BMC connections, and it is bundled with ASUS Control Center Express software to provide comprehensive in-band and out-of-band management features for businesses and industries.
ASUS Control Center Express
A dedicated chipset heatsink draws heat away to maintain optimum operating temperatures, and it comes with an active fan to enhance thermal efficiency.
- USB Port Management - Enable or disable the USB port, or set it to Read Only to prevent data leaks.
- Software Blacklist - For added security, a software blacklist is available to help prevent the use of high-risk applications.
- Registry Editor On/Off - Remotely disable the Registry Editor on client devices to prevent unauthorized changes to system configurations.
The Core of Your Powerful Workstation
Designed to meet the needs of high-core-count CPUs, the Pro WS Z890-ACE SE features 16(90A)+1(90A)+2(90A)+2(80A) power stages that integrate high-side and low-side MOSFETs and drivers into packages rated for up to 90 amps each. This configuration ensures optimal power delivery, efficiency, stability and performance for new Intel Core Ultra Processors (Series 2).
- Eight-Layer PCB Design - This enhances quick heat dissipation around the voltage regulators for enhanced stability and overclocking.
- ProCool II Connectors - These are built to tight specifications to ensure flush contact with PSU power lines. The resulting lower impedance helps to prevent hotspots and connector failure.
- Superior Chokes & Capacitors - These are engineered to resist extreme temperatures, providing a higher level of performance than the industry standard.
- Digi+ VRM Control - The ASUS Digi+ voltage-regulator module (VRM) is one of the finest in the industry and ensures ultra-smooth power delivery to the CPU.
NPU Boost
The integrated Neural Processing Unit in Intel Core Ultra Processors (Series 2) efficiently accelerates AI workflows - and NPU Boost lets you do more with it. This BIOS feature overclocks the NPU with just one click, increasing performance by up to 24%.
Memory
The Pro WS Z890-ACE SE enhances DDR5 performance by providing overclocking options that would otherwise be locked, whether you are dealing with high-speed or entry-level memory modules.
- DIMM Fit / DIMM Fit Pro - DIMM Fit is an ASUS-exclusive BIOS feature that precisely analyzes individual memory modules to optimize performance and pinpoint potential issues. DIMM Fit Pro gives advanced PC builders more extensive customizability for memory tuning. It allows users to control up to twenty overclocking parameters, define testing ranges, and prioritize stability or performance, offering a more flexible and granular approach to memory optimization.
- AEMP III - ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile III (AEMP III) is an advanced firmware feature that empowers users to achieve unparalleled memory performance with cutting-edge CUDIMM memory. Through a two-phase comprehensive tuning process, AEMP III first optimizes the clock driver and then the memory frequency. This results in the best balance between performance and stability, even at cutting-edge speeds of DDR5-8000 or higher.
Intelligent AI Solutions
- AI Overclocking - Maximized CPU performance and predictions for ideal CPU and cooling settings push your system to its limits.
