Cooler by Design

Prime X299-A features the most comprehensive cooling controls ever, configurable via Fan Xpert 4 or the UEFI BIOS. Each header can be set to monitor and react to three user-configurable thermal sensors, for workload based cooling. All easily managed by Fan Xpert 4 or UEFI.

Connect Everything, Ultra-Fast

Speed up with onboard M.2 up to 32Gbps and keep your SSD cooler with an ultra-efficient heatsink. Intel Optane, is also supported by Prime X299-A. Future-proof connectivity with the Prime X299-A's front panel USB 3.1, ready for next-gen PC cases and devices.

ThunderboltEX 3 Card

Prime X299-A offers support for ThunderboltEX 3 card, an Intel-certified Thunderbolt 3 add-on card to enable breathtaking bi-directional speeds of up to 40Gbps through a single cable — up to 4X faster than other PC data-transfer protocols.
 

 

 

Protect your Graphics Card Investment

SafeSlot is the PCIe slot reinvented by ASUS and engineered to provide superior retention and shearing resistance. Manufactured in a single step using a new insert-molding process, SafeSlot integrates the slot with fortifying metal for an inherently stronger slot, which is then firmly anchored to the PCB through additional solder points.

Make It Your Own

Prime X299-A includes LiveDash, a built-in OLED dashboard that displays custom information such as system temperatures, CPU frequency, fan speed and error messages. ASUS Aura offers full RGB lighting control with a variety of functional presets for the built-in RGB LEDs as well as strips connected to the onboard RGB headers.
