Enhanced parallel computing power with seven PCI Express 3.0 x16 slots

Enhanced CPU and memory overclocking

Packed with workstation features, the Z9PE-D8 WS offers readily accessible performance boosts. CPU overclocking gives users instant 5% system-wide speed gains, while memory overclocking achieves DDR3 at up to 2133MHz, which increases memory performance by as much as 11%. This is a high end dual-CPU workstation board that gives your system major performance enhancements with just easy BIOS tuning.

Standard EEB form factor with seven PCI Express 3.0 x16 slots

Using a convenient standard size for easy-sourcing of chassis, the Z9PE-D8 WS enables flexibility and performance well above the norm with dual Intel® Xeon® E5-2600 support. Its seven-slot availability brings the benefits of extreme flexibility to GPU computing users alongside PCI Express 3.0 performance gains. With support for 4-way GeForce® SLI™ and quad CrossFireX™, professional and power users have access to greater graphics performance on demand.

Complete integration with SSD Caching and DTS® audio

Experience ultra-fast data transfers at 4.8Gb/s thanks to USB 3.0. ASUS further provides an extra four SATA 6Gb/s ports with enhanced scalability, faster data retrieval, and double the bandwidth of SATA 3Gb/s. Up to 3X speedier than all-mechanical configurations, ASUS SSD Caching accelerates system performance by using an installed SSD with no capacity limitations as a cache for frequently accessed data. DTS Symmetry™ monitors and balances level differentiation between all digital audio formats, using sophisticated reproduction to reconstruct percussion and transient sounds from compressed audio sources to restore lost punch and clarity.
