Description
WS C422 PRO/SE supports server-grade Intel Xeon W series processors to deliver powerful, optimized performance in always-on usage scenarios. Support for Error-Correcting Code (ECC) memory enables automatic detection and repair of single-bit memory errors, reducing the chance of system crashes and data corruption to ensure reliable and responsive workstation performance. WS C422 PRO/SE features three true PCIe Gen 3 links with support for two-way and three-way NVIDIA SLI and AMD CrossFireX configurations to enable multiple GPU setups that harness the full power of the latest graphics technologies to unleash maximum graphics processing performance. Designed for the powerful Intel Xeon scalable processor with up to 28 cores, WS C422 PRO/SE features a capable thermal design to ensure maximum performance with no CPU throttling. Consisting of an ultra-efficient VRM heatsink with a metal fin array design that maximizes surface area for heat dissipation, plus two additional heatsinks and a connecting heatpipe to further increase cooling performance, this innovative thermal design ensures WS C422 PRO/SE is always ready to handle any task, no matter how demanding.
Powerful performance with Intel Xeon W processor and ECC memory WS C422 PRO/SE supports server-grade Intel Xeon W series processors to deliver powerful, optimized performance in always-on usage scenarios. Support for Error-Correcting Code (ECC) memory enables automatic detection and repair of single-bit memory errors, reducing the chance of system crashes and data corruption to ensure reliable and responsive workstation performance.
Up to 3-way Multi-GPU support with True PCIe Gen3 x16 link WS C422 PRO/SE features three true PCIe Gen 3 links with support for two-way and three-way NVIDIA SLI and AMD CrossFireX configurations to enable multiple GPU setups that harness the full power of the latest graphics technologies to unleash maximum graphics processing performance.
Ultra-efficient VRM Heatsink Designed for the powerful Intel Xeon scalable processor with up to 28 cores, WS C422 PRO/SE features a capable thermal design to ensure maximum performance with no CPU throttling. Consisting of an ultra-efficient VRM heatsink with a metal fin array design that maximizes surface area for heat dissipation, plus two additional heatsinks and a connecting heatpipe to further increase cooling performance, this innovative thermal design ensures WS C422 PRO/SE is always ready to handle any task, no matter how demanding.
Ultra-fast storage and I/O options WS C422 PRO/SE features dual onboard M.2 slots that support up to 22110-length SSDs and operate at PCIe Gen 3 x4 link speeds to provide an abundant 32 Gbps of bandwidth for up to 5.3x faster performance than traditional SSDs. Both slots sit below the C422 chipset and are covered by a heatsink that reduces drive temperatures by as much as 20 °C, ensuring peak performance under all scenarios. The revolutionary specification that lets your SSDs scream at top speed. Simply attach your choice of drive and experience data-transfer speeds of up to 32 Gbps - and free up a PCIe slot for another expansion card.
10 Gbps USB 3.1 onboard With backward-compatible USB 3.1 Type-A and reversible USB 3.1 Type-C ports, you'll experience ultimate connection flexibility and data-transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbps - twice as fast as USB 3.0.
Supporting ThunderboltEX 3 card WS C422 PRO/SE provides full support for a ThunderboltEX 3 card. An Intel -certified Thunderbolt 3 add-on card enables breathtaking bi-directional speeds of up to 40Gbps through a single cable - up to 4X faster than other PC data-transfer protocols. Beyond sheer bandwidth, Thunderbolt 3 supports daisy-chaining up to six devices, utilizes a Type-C reversible connector for compatibility with the latest USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C devices, and meets USB Power Delivery specifications for fast, high-power charging of up to 36W.
Intel VROC Unleash the WS C422 PRO/SE Virtual RAID on CPU (VROC) with the addition of an ASUS Hyper M.2 X16 card, which allows you to attach up to four PCIe 3.0 x16 M.2 drives - for a total bandwidth of up to 128 Gbps. PCH-based RAID arrays are bottlenecked by the 32 Gbps limit of the DMI bus. VROC obliterates that limit by allowing you to utilize CPU PCIe lanes to configure a bootable RAID array that can transfer data at insane speeds.
Outstanding Audio for Content Creator WS C422 PRO/SE has a unique audio codec designed in close collaboration with Realtek. The Realtek S1220A features an unprecedented 120 dB signal-to-noise ratio for the stereo line-out and an 113 dB SNR for the line-in, providing pristine audio quality.
