PCIe 5.0 support
The Pro WS Z890-ACE SE offers PCIe 5.0 support to provide unrestricted bandwidth to the fastest SSDs and graphics cards.

PCIe 5.0 expansion slots
The two x16 expansion slots are PCIe 5.0 and offer incredible speeds of up to 64 GB/s for compatible devices. To withstand the massive graphics cards, they are also protected by SafeSlot retaining clips, and the two slots can be easily released via Q-Release Slim.

Remote control solution
Onboard BMC
The Pro WS Z890-ACE SE workstation motherboard is compatible with BMC connections and comes with ASUS Control Center Express software, which provides comprehensive in-band and out-of-band management features for businesses and industries.

ASUS Control Center Express
A dedicated chipset heatsink dissipates heat to maintain optimal operating temperatures and is equipped with an active fan to increase thermal efficiency.

USB port management
Enable or disable the USB port or set it to read-only to prevent data leakage.

Software Blacklist
For additional security, a software blacklist is available to prevent the use of risky applications.

Registry Editor on/off
Remotely disable the Registry Editor on client devices to prevent unauthorized changes to system configuration.

The heart of your high-performance workplace
Designed to meet the demands of high-core-count CPUs, the Pro WS Z890-ACE SE features 16 (90A) + 1 (90A) + 2 (90A) + 2 (80A) power stages, integrating high-side and low-side MOSFETs and drivers in packages rated up to 90 amps each. This configuration ensures optimal power delivery, efficiency, stability, and performance for the new Intel® Core™ Ultra (Series 2) processors.

Eight-layer board design
This improves rapid heat dissipation around the voltage regulators and provides more stability and overclocking.

ProCool II connectors
These are built to strict specifications to ensure flush contact with the power supply's power lines. The resulting lower impedance helps prevent hot spots and connector failures.

Superior chokes & capacitors
They are designed to withstand extreme temperatures and provide a higher level of performance than the industry standard.

Digi+ VRM control
The ASUS Digi+ voltage regulator module (VRM) is one of the best in the industry and ensures a particularly smooth power supply to the CPU.

Performance Boost

NPU Boost
The integrated Neural Processing Unit in Intel® Core™ Ultra (Series 2) processors efficiently accelerates AI workflows—and with NPU Boost, you can do even more with it. This BIOS feature overclocks the NPU with just one click, increasing performance by up to 24%.1

memory
The Pro WS Z890-ACE SE improves DDR5 performance by offering overclocking options that would otherwise be locked, whether you're working with high-speed or entry-level modules.

DIMM Fit
DIMM Fit is an ASUS-exclusive BIOS feature that precisely analyzes individual memory modules to optimize performance and detect potential issues. This ensures maximum efficiency, compatibility, and system stability. Whether you're an overclocker seeking ultimate performance, a competitive gamer seeking the most responsive gameplay, or a content creator seeking rock-solid stability, DIMM Fit offers optimizations tailored to your needs and hardware configuration.

RUMED III
ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile III (AEMP III) is an advanced firmware feature that enables users to achieve unparalleled memory performance with cutting-edge CUDIMM memory. In a two-stage, comprehensive tuning process, AEMP III first optimizes the clock driver and then the memory frequency. The result is an optimal balance between performance and stability, even at peak speeds of DDR5-8000 or higher.2

Intelligent AI solutions

AI Overclocking
Maximized CPU performance and predictions for ideal CPU and cooling settings push your system to its limits.

AI Cooling II
Tune the temperatures and noise levels of any build with a single click.

AI ADVISOR
The ASUS AI Advisor uses AI technology to understand natural language questions or scenario descriptions, allowing users to explore the functions and advanced features of ASUS motherboards in a simple and straightforward way.3

Simple PC DIY

PCIe® slot Q-Release Slim
The new design of Q-release Slim allows users to remove the graphics card by tilting the card in its slot. This design also retains the original method of removing the graphics card by pressing down on the retaining clip.
Step 1: Grip the graphics card firmly
Step 2: Tilt the card slightly while pulling it upwards4

M.2 Q-Latch
The innovative ASUS Q-Latch makes it easy to install or remove an M.2 SSD without special tools or screws. This design uses a simple locking mechanism to secure the drive and release it with a tap.

ASUS DriverHub
ASUS DriverHub simplifies the installation and management of ASUS drivers and utilities to keep your hardware up-to-date and running at its best. This standalone application automatically detects the latest driver versions and displays available updates in a list view. Users are encouraged to install ASUS DriverHub after installing the operating system.

Four onboard M.2 slots
The Pro WS Z890-ACE SE features one PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot and three PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots for the fastest data transfers of up to 128 Gbps. All M.2 slots support NVMe RAID configurations to take advantage of the latest available speeds.5
