Features Exclusive ASUS O.C Socket— Drive CPU & DDR4 performance beyond all expectations! Streamline Airflow Design–CPU & memory slots in a parallel arrangement providing optimized cooling Complete remote server management-Both ASMB8-i KVM & ASWM Enterprise offer overall remote management saving time & effort Supreme Power Solution – Premium components deliver industry-leading power efficiency superb storage flexibility– onboard M.2, SATA Express & support for ASUS PIKE II cards Overview ASUS Exclusive OC Socket The ASUS X99-WS/IPMI CPU socket
Includes:: extra pins that connect proprietary circuitry to extra contacts found on Haswell-Es land grid array (LGA). When combined with our customized UEFI, this exclusive feature offers comprehensively-improved overclocking margins, especially under extreme liquid-nitrogen (LN2) overclocking. Youll enjoy better margins for memory overclocking, better comparative memory performance under the same frequencies, & better margins for CPU overclocking with minimal voltage drop — so youre able to push the latest processors & DDR4 memory beyond their limits! OC Socket is 100% compatible with the new Haswell-E LGA 2011-3 processors. Forget limits, break every performance barrier with OC Socket! Unique Cache Bus Voltage Adjustment Cache bus links areas such as CPU cores, DDR4 Memory Controllers, System Agent & the shared L3 Cache. It is a critical interconnect for the whole CPU subsystem. Higher cache bus frequency directly gives faster total sub-system performance. ASUS OC Socket exclusively provides an adjustable cache bus voltage to reach higher cache bus frequencies. Make your memory go faster This is the first platform to support DDR4 memory, & it is capable of overclocking memory up to DDR4 3200+ MHz with all eight DIMMs fully loaded! ASUS-exclusive T-Topology circuit design plus patent-pending OC Socket unleash the full potential of DDR4 by minimizing crosstalk & signal reflections. Thanks to our expertise in motherboard layout design, signal timing issues are also greatly reduced, resulting in enhanced stability & overall performance. ASUS works with almost every DDR4 memory vendor to ensure the best compatibility – so youre assured reliable performance from your favorite brands.
