Following the launch of the WS X299 PRO another high-end motherboard is finally available. We are talking about the WS C621E SAGE motherboard, a high-end model compatible with Intel Xeon processors. On this motherboard you can install up to two Xeon Platinum 8180 processors.


The WS C621E SAGE is based on an EEB form factor. There are seven full-sized PCIe slots but only four of them feature ASUS SafeSlot. Furthermore the motherboard supports six channels of 2666MHz DDR4 memory per CPU, allowing for up to 12 DIMMs of ECC DDR4 memory to be used at once. In addition it's compatible with up to 768GB to be supported with ultra-large 64GB DIMMs. Like we mentioned above, this motherboard is compatible with several CPUs like Xeon Platinum and Gold series.

In the case of storage you'll find eight angled SATA ports, four U.2 ports and one M.2 slot. ASUS is shipping this motherboard with an Intel VROC key to allow NVMe/PCIe RAID configurations to function. Looking for additional features we find a debug display, several onboard buttons and support for USB 3.1 ports. ASUS equips the WS C621E SAGE with one PS/2 port, two USB 3.1 Gen2 ports, four USB 3.1 Gen1 ports and four USB 2.0 connectors. Furthermore there are two Intel Gigabit Ethernet ports and the analogue audio panel with optical out.
