ASUS debuts X99M-WS Micro-ATX motherboard

ASUS launches its X99M-WS LGA2011v3 motherboard that comes in the micro-ATX form-factor. It is a workstation-class motherboard and the company claims it is the most feature-rich X99-based motherboard in its category.

It offers support for Intel Core i7 “Haswell-E” and select Xeon E5 v3 series processors. The board features an 8-phase VRM for the CPU and a 2+2 phase VRM for the memory modules. A total of four DDR4 DIMM slots have been provided, with a maximum 64GB quad-channel DDR4 memory being supported.

Expansion slots on the board include three PCI-Express 3.0 x16 slots, and a single PCIe x1. There are also eight SATA 6 GB/s and one M.2 32GB/s slot for storage. Connectivity features include two gigabit Ethernet interfaces, 802.11 ac + Bluetooth 4.0 WLAN, two USB 3.1 ports, six USB 3.0 ports, and multiple USB 2.0/1.1 ports. Onboard audio is taken care of by ASUS CrystalSound 2. No details on pricing and availability yet.

Put the 2nd GPU in the bottom 8x slot and use the middle 16x slot for your add-in card. The PCIe 3.0 8x slot won't be bottleneck for any GPUs. You'll need a case with 5 PCI slots if you're using double-slot cards though.

What are you still using that needs Firewire?

I've got a big case currently, so that actually might work. Firewire is for soundcard (Saffire Pro 40).

As above. All the new ones are USB/TB now, but FW ones are still available (and cheaper). I would go for the full size WS board but that thing is overkill for my needs, still rocking the X58 version with a 6 core at 4 GHz, rock solid for 4 years now.
