ASUS Pro WS X570-ACE

amazon ASUS Pro WS X570-ACE reviews

Although Asus’ ROG branding is traditionally aimed at gamers or gamers, the ASUS Pro WS X570-ACE is aimed at Workstation users with official support for ECC memory and Dual Lan Gigabit usage.

Once again, Asus packed the product in a cardboard box with a rather modest form. Black cardboard box, showing detailed product images and accompanying features.

Proceed to unbox to find out the product inside, similar to many other WS product lines of Asus. The product is designed in a classic style, we will not see the I / O Shield part like many types of ROG products for gaming, of course it is understandable because its segment belongs to the Workstation as mentioned above. The board is designed as a whole with components distributed with a very harmonious and solid layout, the high-end black water is clearly displayed in combination with the heatsink clusters of the same color, making the product look very sturdy and even “mystery”.

In the top left corner of the motherboard is the 8-pin EPS CPU power supply, the right corner is the Fan connectors for the system. The VRM circuit is equipped with a monolithic aluminum heatsink assembly with a lot of ventilation holes, connecting this heatsink cluster is a heatpipe hidden deep inside, helping to cool the VRM circuit in the best way when operating under heavy loads. According to Asus, this VRM heatsink design is extremely efficient when it comes to maximizing surface area to dissipate heat to deliver outstanding performance when operating.

Inside the VRM circuit, ASUS designed a 12 + 2 phase form, but in fact it used the ASP1405I PWM controller located behind the PCB for the CPU voltage VCore and SoC. To the knowledge of the writer, can be sure that it is the IR35201 type, which is a flexible PWM with a true 8 phase configuration (can run in 8 + 0 /7+1 or 6 + 2) mode. Combined with the high quality Microfine Alloy choke, along with the use of Power Stage IR3555, this is the second generation IR3550 which is the famous PowIR from International Rectifier delivering 60A each.

The RAM memory is controlled by an ASP1103 controller and several other MOSFETs, which are used in other ASUS memory VRMs. 4 RAM slots support dual channel with support up to 128GB of DDR4 RAM (ECC and non ECC) and 15μ gold-plated RAM slots prevent interference and oxidation.

ASUS Pro WS X570-ACE is also equipped with an armored PCIe Safe Slot feature to further strengthen the PCIEx 16. C slots. Three PCIe 4.0 x16 slots with 3-way optimized arrangement for x8/x8/x8 bandwidth to accelerate workloads when multiple VGAs are attached. The TPU chip found next to the motherboard’s 2nd and 3rd PCIEx slots can provide additional fan control or other ASUS features.

As noted earlier, the AMD X570 chipset unlocks extraordinary performance, allowing for flexible customization and creativity for gamers and content creators. On the board, the ASUS Pro WS X570-ACE chipset is cooled by a monolithic heatsink cluster with vents, equipped with a small fan inside for the best heat dissipation. The reason for this is simply that the X570 carries with it a lot of new technology when it comes to supporting up to 16x PCIe 4.0 Lanes, 12 SATA 3 ports, 4 Hi Speed 480Mbps USB ports, 8 10Gbps Super Speed USB ports.

The sound area is equipped with 5 high-end Nichicon condensers with a capacity of 100uF 16V, providing warm natural sound with clearer tone. Noise filtering circuitry is also equipped to clearly separate analog / digital signals to reduce interference from many sides. Audio driver chip uses Realtek ALC S1200A 8-Channel for 108dB audio output and 103db SNR input.

As a product for Worsktation, it is obvious that dual Lan is equipped. Equipped with Intel Ethernet LAN Realtek RTL8117 and Intel I211-AT, combining ASUS Turbo LAN Utility with TUF LANGuard technology to increase transmission bandwidth, protect against static electricity and short circuit.

Thanks to the great advantage of allocating I/O, the storage bandwidth on the X570 has been greatly improved. In the ASUS Pro WS X570-ACE product, the board provides two M.2 PCIEx Gen4 ports (in which the number 1 M.2 port is equipped with a cooling heatsink with many ventilation holes), can plug SSDs latest PCIEx4 Gen 4 standard for data transfer speeds up to 64Gb/s. In addition, only M.2 slot No. 1 supports M.2 SATA 3 6Gb/s modules and has a single U2 connection. There are 4 SATA 3 ports, horizontal rotation for easier wiring.

I/O ports of the product include: 01 DisplayPort port, 01 HDMI port, 2 RJ45 LAN ports, 01 Optical S/PDIF Out port, 3.5mm audio jack, 02 USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type A ports, 04 USB ports 3.2 Gen 2 Type A and 01 USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type C port. In addition, Asus also noted that the USB ports under the LAN port can run at USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds with 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen Processors.

Product accessories come with Main block, 04 SATA 3 cable, 01 M.2 Screw, 01 driver installation disc and 01 VGA Holder.
