ASUS P9X79 EWS Intel X79 Motherboard

The ASUS P9X79 EWS is a new ATX motherboard built around the Intel X79 chipset with an LGA 2011 socket. It supports DDR3 memory up to a maximum of 64 GB. The board is aimed at builders assembling a high-capacity workstation or enthusiast desktop on this platform.

Workstation Builders Using LGA 2011

This board suits users who need the X79 chipset and four-channel DDR3 support for memory-intensive tasks. It is not for builders who require a newer socket, a different chipset, or memory types other than DDR3. Buyers who want more storage interfaces than the provided SATA connections should look elsewhere.

64 GB DDR3 Maximum Memory

The single specification that decides fit is the 64 GB DDR3 memory ceiling. If your workload demands more than 64 GB or requires a memory generation beyond DDR3, this motherboard will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

Does the Intel X79 chipset on this board cap DDR3 memory at 64GB?

Yes, the Intel X79 chipset on this ASUS P9X79 EWS board supports a maximum of 64GB of DDR3 memory.

What are the physical mounting requirements for this ATX motherboard?
