Product Overview

The Asus PRO WS W680M-ACE SE is a workstation motherboard built on the Intel W680 chipset for LGA 1700 processors. It has four DDR5 memory slots in dual-channel configuration and two M.2 slots with PCIe 4.0 x4 support. Onboard BMC remote management with a dedicated 1 Gb management port sets it apart from standard consumer boards, alongside three Ethernet ports (2 x Intel 2.5 Gb and 1 x Realtek 1 Gb).

This micro-ATX board suits compact workstation and always-on builds where reliability and remote administration matter. It offers eight SATA ports, a SlimSAS connector and RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 for storage-heavy setups, plus HDMI, DisplayPort and VGA outputs when paired with a CPU with integrated graphics. Asus describes it as optimised for 24/7 operation, with dedicated heatsinks including for the M.2 slots. Asus Control Center Express software is supported for managing multiple systems.
