LGA 1851 Workstation Motherboard

The ASUS Pro WS W880-ACE SE is an ATX motherboard built around the Intel W880 chipset and LGA 1851 socket. It supports Intel Core Ultra 9, 7, and 5 desktop processors for professional workloads. Four 288-pin DDR5 slots accept up to 256GB of memory. The board includes Thunderbolt 4 connectivity and dual 2.5Gb Ethernet ports.

Ideal for AI Development and Remote Management

This board suits builders who need server-grade IPMI remote management via the AST2600 BMC controller and ASUS Control Center Express. AI Cooling II, AI Advisor, and NPU boost help with advanced AI PC tasks. Users without a need for dedicated remote management hardware or workstation-class power delivery should consider simpler platforms.

8+1+2+2 Teamed Power Stages

The 8+1+2+2 teamed power stages with ProCool II connectors, alloy chokes and durable capacitors deliver stable current for multi-core Intel Core Ultra processors. This power design is the key specification that determines whether the board can sustain heavy professional workloads without throttling.
