For Gamers and Professionals

Ultimate transfer speed

32Gb/s U.2 & M.2 onboard

The workstation board fits next-generation 2.5-inch NVM Express SSDs with an on-board U.2 and M.2 (up to 2280) interface. This exclusive technology exploits the maximum PCI Express 3.0 x4 bandwidth of 32Gbit/s for SSD transfer speeds that are up to 5.3X faster than traditional SSDs.

10Gbit/s USB3.1 built in

This workstation board has both the latest USB3.1 connectivity built in with Type-A and Type-C ports for the very fastest USB data transfers – that’s up to 10 Gb/s, or twice as fast USB 3.0. Type-C is the all-new reversible socket for any-way-up convenience.

Patent-pending SafeSlot

Protect Your Graphics Card Investment

SafeSlot is the PCIe slot reinvented by ASUS and engineered to provide superior retention and shearing resistance. Manufactured in a single step using a new insert-molding process integrates the slot with the fortifying metal for an inherently stronger slot, which is then firmly anchored to the PCB through additional solder points.

Multi-GPU support

With support for both NVIDIA^® SLI™ and AMD^® CrossFireX™ 2/3-WAY configurations, the X99 motherboard enables multi-GPU setups so you can harness the full power of the latest graphics technologies to drive games at 4K and beyond.
