Robust Power Design

Digital power control and an array of DrMOS power stages ensure that ASUS Pro WS W480-ACE has the strength to handle powerful Intel CPUs.

12+2 Power Stages

12+2 DrMOS power stages combine high-side and low-side MOSFETs and drivers into a single package, delivering the power and efficiency that the latest Intel processors demand.

Digi+ Power Control

The ASUS Digi+ voltage-regulator module (VRM) is one of the finest in the industry and ensures ultra-smooth power delivery to the CPU.

ProCool II Power Connector

ProCool II sockets are engineered to ensure flush contact with the PSU power lines, and have a metal armor for improved heat dissipation. The connector's lower impedance helps prevent hotspots and improves reliability.

Choke & Capacitor

Superior chokes and durable capacitors are engineered to resist extreme temperatures, providing a higher level of performance than the industry standard.

AI Cooling

With one click, AI Cooling function will automatically manage and control motherboard-connected fans to ensure optimal settings based on current system load and temperature.

CPU Temperature Detection

AI Cooling detects CPU temperatures and uses a proprietary algorithm to calculate the lowest fan speed required to effectively cool the system and keep fan noise down.

Automated Optimization

Under stable system loads, the software then automatically lowers fan* speed to the optimal setting, decreasing fan noise without compromising performance.

Ongoing Monitoring

AI Cooling continues to monitor the system and adjust fan speed based on current load.

*Fans need to be connected to the following headers for AI Cooling control: CPU_FAN / CPU_OPT / CHA_FAN / M.2_FAN / H_AMP / RAD_FAN

24/7 Dependability

Optimized for 24/7 operation, Pro WS W480-ACE is tested to work in temperatures of up to 45°C and 80% humidity, ensuring it can handle diverse operating environments.

Solid Compatibility Validation

ASUS Pro WS W480-ACE has been extensively tested for compatibility with over 1,000 components and devices. Each new ASUS motherboard model undergoes a minimum of 8,000 hours of strict tests so that you can be 100% confident it is suitable for all environments and applications.

Detect CPU Temperature

AI Cooling detects your CPU temperature and does a ratio calculation to the current fans.

Finding Sweet spot

AI Cooling will try to lower fan speed to decrease fan noise, without compromising current performance or temperature.
