Asus ROG Strix X299-E Gaming II ATX Motherboard

Intel X299 ATX motherboard LGA 2066 for Intel Core X-series processors, with 12 power stages, on-board Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), 2.5 Gbps LAN, USB 3.2 Gen 2, SATA, three M.2, OLED and Aura Sync RGB lighting

POWER DESIGN

ProCool II Power Connectors

ProCool II sockets are built to tight specifications to ensure flush contact with the PSU power lines and have a metal armour for improved heat dissipation. The connector’s lower impedance helps prevent hotspots and improves reliability.

GAMING ENHANCEMENT

ROG Strix X299-E Gaming II is engineered with the latest connectivity for the best gaming experiences. Transfer files faster and banish lag as you secure more victories.

DDR4 OC 4266MHz+

The X299 platform delivers ample bandwidth on multiple fronts. Its quad-channel memory controller supports up to 256 GB of DDR4 memory across eight slots. With optimized trace layout, the ROG Strix X299-E Gaming II can hit memory speeds up to DDR4 4266 MHz or beyond.

Three PCIe 3.0 M.2

ROG Strix X299-E Gaming II features three M.2 slots. One slot supports both SATA and PCIe 3.0 x4 modes, and the other slots support PCIe 3.0 x4 for NVMe. Together, they give you the fastest and most-flexible M.2 interface available.

VROC

Take advantage of the Intel® Virtual RAID on CPU (VROC) feature* by connecting two M.2 drives in RAID configurations. With VROC, your RAID arrays are easily configured to be bootable, and traditional DMI bottlenecks are eliminated, so your storage won’t be held back by other traffic.

DESIGN & CUSTOMIZATION

A host of design touches, including a unique cyber-text pattern, plus customization options, comprehensive validation lists, and the most diverse ecosystem of components in the industry make building and personalizing a gaming rig with ROG Strix X299-E Gaming II wonderfully easy.

TUNE YOUR RIG YOU WANT

The ROG Strix X299-E Gaming II motherboard features firmware controls and software utilities designed for all skill levels, making setup, tuning and system maintenance simple. With options from overclocking and cooling to managing network performance and audio characteristics, you can configure your ROG Strix gaming build to perform the way you want.

OUTSHINE THE COMPETITION

ROG Strix motherboards deliver sterling performance, accented by aesthetics to Outshine the Competition. 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 header — and it can all be synced with an ever-growing portfolio of Aura-capable ASUS hardware.

ADDRESSABLE GEN 2 RGB HEADER

ROG Strix X299-E Gaming II's Addressable Gen 2 RGB headers are now capable of detecting the number of LEDs on second-gen addressable RGB devices, allowing the software to automatically tailor lighting effects to specific devices. The new headers also offer backward-compatibility with existing Aura RGB gear.

LIVEDASH OLED

ROG Strix X299-E Gaming II is equipped with LiveDash, a built-in 1.3" OLED panel that displays useful information and customizable graphics. During the power-on, self-test (POST) phase, LiveDash shows key progress stats in simple language and via traditional POST codes. Then, during normal operation, the panel shows a choice of CPU frequency, device temperatures, fan speeds or information from the Water Cooling Zone. You're even able to customize the default LiveDash GIF, so that it'll display your own image or animation.

5-WAY OPTIMIZATION

Take care of complex tuning with just one click. ASUS 5-Way Optimization makes your PC smart by dynamically optimizing essential aspects of your system, providing overclocking and cooling profiles that are tailored for your rig.

UEFI BIOS

The renowned ROG UEFI (BIOS) provides everything you need to configure, tweak, and tune your rig. It offers intelligently simplified options for newcomers to PC DIY, as well as comprehensive features for seasoned veterans.

Designed to simplify setup, EZ mode presents all the vital settings and stats on a single page. With guided wizards, drag-and-drop functionality, and one-click application of important settings, your rig will be up and running in no time.

GAMEFIRST V NETWORK CONTROL

GameFirst V is an ROG-exclusive tool that lets you build an ROG networking ecosystem with an ROG router. Select the best Wi-Fi channel for maximum stability and minimum interference, optimize network traffic and your connection for lag-free online gaming, team your gateways and keep tabs on bandwidth-hogging apps — all from an intuitive interface that enables easy, on-the-fly adjustments.

ROG FIRST

ROG First searches for ROG routers on the network and lets you automatically optimize their adaptive QoS settings for the best gaming performance, so you don’t have to log in and configure the router manually.
