ProCool II power connector

The latest ProCool II is an enhanced EATX 8-pin power connector that offers higher endurance and longer lifespan by lowering impedance to prevent hotspots and connector failure. The new design includes upgrades to metal amour and solid pins for better dissipation, as well as a warning LED display with a BIOS POST message to indicate an improper connection.

Power stages with IR3555 design

The CPU VRM on Pro WS X570-ACE employs a 12+2 power stage design with IR3555, combining high-side and low-side MOSFETs and drivers into a single package, delivering the power and efficiency that high core count processors demand.

Alloy chokes

The Pro WS X570-ACE series uses efficient alloy chokes and high-quality thermal pads to help transfer heat from the VRM array to a sink with ample surface area for the processors.

Durable capacitors

Durable capacitors are engineered to resist extreme temperatures and provide up to 110% better performance than the industry standard.

8-layer PCB design

Multiple PCB layers shift heat away from critical components, providing more headroom to push your CPUs beyond stock speeds.

Trusted Stability

Pro WS X570-ACE features the most comprehensive cooling controls ever, configurable via Fan Xpert 4 or the UEFI BIOS.

Active PCH Heatsink

PCIe 4.0 provides twice the bandwidth for data flowing through the chipset, which creates more heat than the previous generation. The Pro WS X570-ACE features an actively cooled heatsink to prevent throttling during sustained transfers.

Active Chipset Heatsink Solution includes:

Custom Delta Superflo Fan: The custom low-noise fan features a high-durability bearing with a 60,000-hour L10* lifespan.
Air Duct: A specially-designed air duct helps the fan generate static pressure and concentrates air flow over the fins.
Finned heatsink: The heatsink fin density is optimized to maximize surface area while maintaining a low-resistance exhaust path.
* L10 bearing life is a standard metric that specifies the number of hours that 90% of the bearing are expected to continue successfully operating, as a minimum.

Ultra-efficient VRM Heatsink

Pro WS X570-ACE ensures optimal cooling and system stability for the latest AMD Ryzen® processors. Higher power requirements are balanced by carefully designed heatsinks that carefully balance mass and surface area to maximize thermal dissipation. In addition to the VRM-heatsink array and the heatpipe that's positioned to provide maximum airflow within the chassis, a dedicated fan and heatsink also help to efficiently dissipate heat from the PCH.

24/7 Dependability

Quality reliability test

Optimized for twenty-four seven operations, the motherboard is tested under temperature up to 45°C and humidity up to 80% to ensure it can handle diverse temperature and humidity range of different location.

SafeSlot

Protect your graphics card investment

SafeSlot is the PCIe slot reinvented by ASUS and engineered to provide superior retention and shearing resistance. Manufactured in a single step using an insert-molding process, SafeSlot integrates the slot with fortifying metal for an inherently stronger slot, which is then firmly anchored to the PCB through additional solder points.

CPU performance boost

The TurboV Processing Unit (TPU) is the intelligence behind our automated system-tuning utility, offering the ability to fine-tune voltages, monitor system stats, and adjust overclock parameters for optimal performance.

All-round energy efficiency

With the Energy Processing Unit (EPU) you'll enjoy system-wide power savings. The EPU automatically optimizes power consumption and maximizes savings with Away mode — a smart setting that creates an extreme energy-saving scenario by shutting down unused I/O controllers.

Flexible cooling controls for air or liquid

With Pro WS X570-ACE you have comprehensive control over fans via Fan Expert 4 or our media-acclaimed UEFI. Whether you're cooling with air or water, Auto-Tuning mode intelligently configures all parameters with a single click. There's also an Extreme Quiet mode, which reduces all fan speeds to below the default minimum — keeping your system whisper-quiet when performing light tasks.

Precise digital power control

Digi+ delivers real-time control over voltage droop, switching frequency and power -efficiency settings, allowing you to fine-tune CPU voltage regulation for ultimate stability and performance.
