ASUS Prime X299-Deluxe II Motherboard, LGA2066 (Intel Core X-Series), ATX DDR4, M.2 U.2, Thunderbolt 3, USB 3.1, With Dual Gigabit LAN, 802.11AC WiFi | 90MB0ZB0-M0EAY0

The ASUS Prime X299-Deluxe II represents the pinnacle of the Prime series for the LGA 2066 socket. It is specifically engineered to handle the high power and thermal demands of Intel® Core™ X-Series processors with up to 18 cores. With its sophisticated silver-and-white aesthetic and comprehensive cooling solutions, this motherboard balances professional elegance with extreme hardware capabilities, making it the ideal choice for high-end workstation builds.

Massive Memory and Multi-GPU Support
Designed for data-intensive tasks, the Prime X299-Deluxe II features eight DDR4 DIMM slots, supporting quad-channel memory for maximum bandwidth. For visual professionals, the board includes reinforced PCIe slots capable of supporting 3-Way NVIDIA® SLI™ or AMD CrossFireX™ configurations. This allows for multi-GPU setups that significantly accelerate rendering times in applications like OctaneRender, Redshift, and DaVinci Resolve.
 

Flagship Connectivity: Thunderbolt 3 and 5G LAN
Connectivity is a primary focus of the Deluxe II. It comes equipped with an onboard Intel Thunderbolt 3 controller, providing two USB-C ports with 40Gbps of bidirectional bandwidth—perfect for daisy-chaining multiple 4K displays or external RAID arrays. Networking is handled by a combination of an Aquantia 5G LAN for high-speed local data transfers and an Intel Gigabit LAN port, alongside onboard WiFi 5 (802.11ac) for versatile wireless access.

LiveDash OLED and Intelligent Cooling
The Prime X299-Deluxe II features a 2-inch LiveDash OLED display located in the center of the board. This screen provides instant visual feedback on CPU temperatures, frequencies, and fan speeds, or it can be customized with personal logos. To keep the 12-stage power delivery system cool under load, ASUS utilizes a high-surface-area heatsink and a dedicated M.2 cooling system, ensuring that your high-speed NVMe drives never suffer from thermal throttling.

Why the Prime X299-Deluxe II Stands Out
Workstation Scalability: 8 memory slots and 3-way SLI support for elite productivity.

Dual Thunderbolt 3: Integrated 40Gbps ports for professional-grade peripherals.

High-Speed Networking: 5G LAN provides a significant boost over standard Gigabit.

LiveDash OLED: At-a-glance system monitoring built directly into the hardware.
