Socket LGA 4677 workstation board

The ASRock W790 WS is a CEB form-factor motherboard built for 4th Gen Intel Xeon W-3400 and W-2400 processors. It targets professional workstations that need high core counts, large memory capacity and extensive I/O for compute-intensive workloads.

Quad-channel DDR5 with four PCIe 5.0 x16 slots

Eight 288-pin slots accept DDR5 ECC RDIMMs up to 2 TB in quad-channel mode, with native speeds of 4800 MHz on W9, W7 and W5 CPUs. Four PCIe 5.0 x16 slots (two at x16, two at x8) plus one PCIe 4.0 x16 slot at x4 give room for multiple GPUs, accelerators or NVMe add-in cards. A U.2 connector and four M.2 sockets (all PCIe Gen5 x4) plus eight SATA3 ports provide dense storage expansion without using expansion slots.

20+2 phase 90A power on 14-layer PCB

The 20+2 power phase design with 90A SPS components and a 14-layer ultra low-loss PCB delivers stable current to high-wattage Xeon CPUs during sustained all-core loads. Dual Marvell AQC113CS 10 GbE ports and an Intel i225LM 2.5 GbE port maintain network throughput for long rendering or simulation jobs. Two USB4 Thunderbolt 4 Type-C ports and one USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C header keep high-speed peripheral bandwidth available throughout extended sessions.

Questions about this item

What limits 4th Gen Intel Xeon W-3400 and W-2400 CPU performance under sustained load?

The 20+2 power phase design with 90A SPS delivers stable current, while the 14-layer ultra-low-loss PCB manages heat during extended workloads.

How loud and hot does the ASRock W790 WS get during all-day operation?

Passive chipset and VRM cooling keeps noise near zero; the 14-layer PCB spreads heat efficiently under continuous multi-core loads.

Which CPU and memory must I already own for this LGA 4677 board to work?

Requires a 4th Gen Intel Xeon W-3400 or W-2400 processor and DDR5 ECC RDIMM modules; maximum capacity is 2 TB across eight slots.
