Extensive Qualified Vendor List identifies a wide-ranging ecosystem of DDR5 memory modules and other devices

  • Top memory-frequency support: Up to 128 GB of ECC R-DIMM DDR5 memory modules, with class-leading speeds of up to 6800 MHz

  • Extensive compatibility: ASUS has partnered with vendors of memory, CPU coolers, PSUs, chassis and graphics cards to deliver workstation build flexibility

  • Multiple-memory-channel architecture: Featuring 8-channel (1DPC) and quad-channel (2DPC) options for vast memory-pool capacity

Ratingen, Germany, March 16, 2023 — ASUS today announced that ASUS W790 workstation motherboards support ECC R-DIMM DDR5 RAM at up to 6800 MHz, unleashing class-leading overclocking capability to unlock even more performance potential. ASUS W790 workstation motherboards feature the memory capability of up to 2TB R-DIMM DDR5 RAM to power the next generation of compute-intensive professional workloads. In addition, ASUS have been working with market-leading memory partners including G.SKILL, Kingston, and V-Color to establish multiple memory validations and to widely support 8-channel and quad-channel memory architectures. The Pro WS W790E-SAGE SE now supports up to 128 GB (8×16 GB) at 6800 MT/s, and the Pro WS W790-ACE supports up to 64 GB (4×16 GB) of DDR5 RAM at 6800 MT/s. This painstakingly cultivated collection of device validations helps ensure that an ASUS W790 workstation build supports a wide variety of scenarios.

Choosing the right CPU cooler for a workstation build can also be a challenge because CPU sockets and form factors are different from those used in desktops. Therefore, ASUS has partnered with cooling experts including Enermax, EK and Noctua to offer air and liquid coolers for the LGA4677 socket used by the latest Intel® Xeon® workstation processors. These solutions are designed to offer optimal heat transfer and heat dissipation capacity through the cooler base and then to coolant tubes, heat pipes and radiator fins.
