Asus WS Z390 Pro, new motherboard for workstations
The Asus WS Z390 Pro is built in the ATX form factor and draws the power it needs to run from a combination of a 24-pin ATX connector, two 8-pin EPS, and optional 6-pin PCIe power. All this to give life to a 10-phase VRM that incorporates smart-doubling on the Vcore side. This Asus WS Z390 Pro uses a PCI-Express 3.0 x48 bridge chip to convert 16 CPU 3.0 gen lines into two downstream x16 slots, which are divided into four x8 slots, depending on how those slots are occupied. The slot configuration options are x16 / x16 / NC / NC or x16 / x8 / x8 / NC or x8 / x8 / x8 / x8. Also includes additional x4 open-end slot for expansion cards.

As for the network interfaces, it includes two 1 GbE ports, one of which is controlled by Intel i219-LM and the other Intel i210-AT. USB connectivity includes six USB 3.1 gen 2 ports on the rear panel, of which one is Type-C, two additional USB 3.1 gen 2 ports per header, and a 2-port USB 3.1 gen 1 header.
