W480 VISION D (rev. 1.0)

Intel^® Xeon^® processor enables you to create, test, and deliver solutions faster than ever.
Error Correction Code (ECC) powered by Intel^® Xeon^® processor tests for and corrects errors in your data as it passes in and out of memory to ensure reliability for critical applications.

Thunderbolt™ 3 is the single most advanced port available. It uses USB-C connectors and cables but as a single cable solution, creating one compact port that delivers the fastest connection to any dock display or data device. The only cable you need brings the limitless connectivity with you.

With both LAN ports designed, you'll benefit from increased bandwidth for speed, automated load balancing for smoother data flow, and instant failover if anything goes wrong.
Adoption of one 2.5G LAN provides up to 2.5 GbE network connectivity, with at least two times faster transfer speeds compared to general 1GbE networking. It is also backward compatible with Multi-Gig (10/100/1000/2500Mbps) RJ-45 Ethernet.

An effective cooling solution is essential for a heavy design workload to get away with slow down, crashes, and unexpected shutdown.
Unconventional Heatsinks is designed for better thermal dissipation but also aesthetically appealing to creators. A heat pipe connects a giant curved heatsink and micro cube heatsink that fully cover the VRM area. It ensures the heat can be dissipated more efficiently.
In addition, all the M.2 SSD are all covered with ultra efficient dual sided heatsinks, so creators can move big files with un-throttled transfer speed and prolong SSD longevity.

For most prosumers and content creators, high bandwidth storage and high performance graphics card or accelerator cards are critical for their projects. This is especially true for 3D rendering and creating high resolution textures. To support most cutting edge devices, this motherboard uses the groundbreaking PCIe 4.0 hardware design. From PCB, several new IC to device connectors, everything that the PCIe 4.0 signal goes is a completely new generation, to make sure your content creation PC is future proof.

M.2 Drives keep the load times away. Breaking the barriers of SATA limitations. M.2 PCIe SSD gives you X7 faster data transferring experience compared to 2.5" SATA solid state drives.
