FUNCTION-FIRST
AESTHETICS
Low-profile professionalism​​
With metallic black aluminum extrusions, stainless steel black mesh with highlighted details, and a transparent smoky gray I/O cover, Pro WS WRX80E-SAGE SE WIFI presents a professional, low-profile look for content creators.​

Multi-GPU support
Pro WS WRX80E-SAGE SE WIFI features seven PCIe® 4.0 x16 slots for high-powered graphics cards, enabling enhanced performance for professional design, modeling and simulation, and rendering applications.

3 M.2 PCIe 4.0
Pro WS WRX80E-SAGE SE WIFI includes three M.2 and two U.2 slots wired to PCIe 4.0 x4 bandwidth. Creators working with massive video files can RAID together multiple NVMe devices for massive I/O bandwidth and seamless playback in their editing bays. These three slots rest under dedicated heatsinks to prevent SSD throttling under heavy loads.

More storage
With NVMe RAID support for Ryzen™ Threadripper™ PRO processors, unused CPU PCIe® 4.0 lanes can be assigned to storage, allowing you to create a bootable RAID array with multiple M.2 SSDs to provide incredible throughput — up to 8x faster than individual PCIe® 3.0 x4 SSDs. RAID can also be configured with PCIe® 3.0 SSDs.

ECC memory support
AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper™ PRO processors offer unrivaled memory bandwidth and supports 8 memory channels, up to 2048 GB. It supports ECC memory to automatically detect and correct data corruption, reducing the chance of system crashes to ensure your creativity consistency and stability.

Intel® WiFi 6
The Intel® WiFi 6 AX200 module is compatible with the 802.11ax standard and pushes theoretical peak bandwidth up to an incredible 2.4 Gbps. Perhaps more importantly for power users, it's optimized for more efficient operation on crowded networks with a lot of competing traffic. Pair your motherboard with ASUS WiFi 6 routers to fully experience the networking potential of WiFi 6.

ASMB9-iKVM for remote management
An integrated BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) is a key feature for workstations. It uses an Intel X550 dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet controller, with one port dedicated to the BMC to provide the intelligence for its IPMI architecture. The BMC manages the interface between system-management software and platform hardware. Administrators can remotely communicate with the BMC to take some corrective actions — such as resetting or power cycling a system.

16 Power stages
Pro WS WRX80E-SAGE SE WIFI’s VRM is comprised of 16 power stages, delivering the power and efficiency that the latest AMD processors demand.

6-pin Power connectors
Two additional PCIe 6-pin power connectors can add power output stability when creators use many graphic cards onboard.

Actively cooled heatsink
The heatsink fin density is optimized to maximize surface area while maintaining a low-resistance exhaust path. The custom low-noise fan features a high-durability bearing with a 60,000-hour L10* lifespan.

M.2 heatsinks
Three M.2 slots are covered by heatsinks to combat
temperature-induced throttling that can affect performance during heavy, sustained storage loads.

Side-mounted connectors
Unique side-mounted connectors on the front-panel of the chassis keep cables away from the graphics cards and provide cleaner routing, easier management and a streamlined installation process.

Pre-mounted I/O shield
The patented I/O shield is finished in sleek matte black and comes pre-mounted for easy installation on the motherboard and is designed to allow air flow to keep the heat away from the board.

BIOS Flashback™
Users can place a BIOS file onto a FAT32-formatted USB drive and simply plug it into the USB BIOS FlashBack™ port and press a button to update the (UEFI) BIOS. Updates can be made even if memory or CPU aren't present.

Immersive Audio experience
The Realtek ALC4080 audio codec features high quality 120 dB SNR stereo playback output and 113 dB SNR recording input to offer pristine audio quality and is supported by EMI shielding and separate PCB layers for the left and right channels to maintain signal integrity. Additionally, DTS:X Ultra technology enables louder, immersive 3D spatial audio.

Power pre-regulator

Reduces power-input noise to ensure consistent performance.

Audio shielding

Separates analog/digital signal domains, significantly reducing multi-lateral interference.

Integrated amplifier

Capable of driving high-impedance headphones, without rolling-off high or low frequencies.

Separate layer for left and right tracks

Ensures minimal crosstalk between audio paths.

De-pop circuit

Reduces start-up popping noise to all audio outputs.

Premium Japanese-made audio capacitors

Premium parts provide an immersive sound signature, with exceptional fidelity.

Solid compatibility validation
Pro WS WRX80E-SAGE SE WIFI has been extensively tested and validated under various environments and applications for compatibility and reliability.

Protect your graphics card
SafeSlot is a PCIe® slot reengineered by ASUS to provide optimized attachment and shearing resistance. Manufactured in a single step using a new insert-molding process, SafeSlot fortifies the slot with metal for enhanced strength and durability.

24/7 reliability
Optimized for around-the-clock operations, Pro WS WRX80E-SAGE SE WIFI is tested under temperatures of up to 45° C and humidity of up to 80% in order to ensure it can thrive in different environments.
