The Pro WS Z890-ACE SE empowers workstation users of all levels by maximizing the performance of the latest Intel® Core™ Ultra Processor (Series 2) processors with 16+1+2+2 team power stages, DDR5 slots, PCIe® 5.0 and lightning-fast connectivity including Thunderbolt™ 4 port, 10Gb and 2.5Gb Ethernet.
The workstation motherboard is engineered to support dual graphics cards, making it an ideal choice for content creation, AI and deep learning, and IT management.

Thunderbolt™ Connectivity

The Pro WS Z890-ACE SE features a Thunderbolt™ 4 port, offering high-speed data transfers up to 40Gbps. This allows large files and datasets to be transferred in seconds, boosting productivity for workstation users, AI and deep learning experts, and IT managers. Thunderbolt™ 4 also supports multiple 4K displays or a single 8K display for clear and smooth visuals, essential for professional applications. Its strong compatibility with existing Thunderbolt™ and USB devices simplifies connectivity and management.

PCIe 5.0 Support

The Pro WS Z890-ACE SE offers PCIe 5.0 support to give unfettered bandwidth to the fastest SSDs and graphics cards available.

PCIe 5.0 Expansion Slots

Both of the x16 expansion slots are PCIe 5.0, offering incredible speeds of up to 64 GB/s for compatible devices. To bear the brunt of massive graphics cards, they are also protected with SafeSlot retention brackets, and the both slots can be released easily via Q-Release Slim.

The Core of Your Powerful Workstation

Designed to meet the needs of high-core-count CPUs, the Pro WS Z890-ACE SE features 16(90A)+1(90A)+2(90A)+2(80A) power stages that integrate high-side and low-side MOSFETs and drivers into packages rated for up to 90 amps each. This configuration ensures optimal power delivery, efficiency, stability and performance for new Intel® Core™ Ultra Processors (Series 2).
