ASUS Pro WS W680M-ACE SE Micro-ATX Workstation Motherboard, Intel LGA1700, DDR5 ECC, PCIe 5.0, IPMI Support, Dual 2.5G LAN | 90MB1FA0-M0EAY0

The ASUS Pro WS W680M-ACE SE (90MB1FA0-M0EAY0) is a rare combination of Micro-ATX agility and workstation-grade power. While most professional boards require large towers, the W680M-ACE SE fits into smaller chassis without sacrificing the critical features required by engineers and data scientists, such as Error-Correction Code (ECC) memory and high-speed expansion.

Enterprise Management: Integrated BMC and IPMI
The "SE" edition stands out with its integrated Server Management capabilities. Equipped with a dedicated ASPEED AST2600 BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) and a dedicated management LAN port, this board provides full IPMI 2.0 support. IT administrators can remotely monitor system vitals, update BIOS, and perform KVM-over-IP management, ensuring uptime even when the system is located in a remote or headless environment.
 

Reliability: DDR5 ECC & PCIe 5.0 Stability
In mission-critical tasks, a single memory error can lead to a disastrous system crash. This motherboard supports DDR5 ECC memory, which automatically fixes data errors to ensure continuous stability during long rendering sessions or complex scientific simulations. The PCIe 5.0 x16 slot provides double the bandwidth for next-generation professional GPUs and high-speed RAID cards.
 

Connectivity: Dual 2.5G LAN & High-Speed Storage
Networking is optimized for heavy data throughput with dual Intel 2.5Gb Ethernet ports, supporting teaming for redundancy or increased bandwidth. For storage, the board features dual M.2 slots (PCIe 4.0) and a SlimSAS connector, offering industrial-grade flexibility for connecting professional NVMe or SATA storage arrays.
 

Why This Product Stands Out
Micro-ATX Versatility: High-end workstation features in a smaller, more flexible size.

Out-of-Band Management: Dedicated BMC for full remote control and system monitoring.

Industrial Validation: Tested for 24/7 use in temperatures up to 45°C and humidity up to 80%.

ASUS Control Center Express: Includes a centralized IT management tool for enhanced security.
