LIGHTING PERFECTED
ROG Strix X299-XE Gaming features a duo of onboard 5050 RGB headers and an addressable header that can be connected to compatible lighting strips, fans, coolers, and PC cases, creating a new world of illumination possibilities. It also comes with a ROG addressable strip .
*The addressable RGB header supports WS2812B addressable RGB LED strips (5V/Data/Ground), with a max power rating of 3A (5V) and a max of 60 LEDs.
* The Aura RGB-strip header supports 5050 RGB LED strips with a max power rating of 3A (12V). For maximum brightness, strip length should not exceed 2m.
**RGB and addressable RGB LED extension cables are included. LED strips and Aura Sync-compatible devices are sold separately.

VRM COOLING
The latest high-core-count Intel Core i7 and i9 CPUs consume serious amounts of power — so ROG Strix X299-XE Gaming is equipped with serious VRM cooling. Featuring a high-mass, finned heatsink, the expansive surface area dissipates heat efficiently. And, to push the platform as far as you desire, we've even included a bracket that allows you to mount a bundled fan to accelerate the airflow.

M.2 Heatsink
PERFECTED COOLING FOR UNLEASHING PERFORMANCE
ROG Strix X299-XE Gaming motherboards are equipped with an M.2 heatsink integrated into the PCH heatsink. With a huge cooling surface, the M.2 heatsink perfectly chills an inserted M.2 SSD — for consistent performance and reliability. Featuring a stylish angular design, the M.2 heatsink adds a beautiful touch to the build, while the T-sensor detects temperatures in the vital M.2 area for instant monitoring.
5-Way Optimization
One-click overclock and cooling, done!
One click takes care of all that complex tuning. ASUS 5-Way Optimization makes your PC smart. It dynamically optimizes essential aspects of the system, providing overclocking and cooling profiles that are tailored for your rig.
· An automated tuning utility that optimizes overclocking and cooling profiles for your unique system configuration.
· Fans stay whisper-quiet for everyday computing, and deliver optimal airflow when the system is crunching through CPU or GPU-intensive tasks.
· All-new stress test that allows users to optimize and overclock for CPU or memory-centric workloads.
Flexible cooling controls for air or liquid
With ROG Strix X299-XE Gaming you have comprehensive control over fans, water pumps and even all-in-one (AIO) coolers, via either Fan Expert 4 or our award-winning UEFI. Whether you're cooling with air or water, Auto-Tuning mode intelligently configures all parameters with a single click. There's also an Extreme Quiet mode, which reduces all fan speeds to below the default minimum — keeping your system whisper-quiet when performing light tasks.
Cooler By Design
ROG Strix X299-XE Gaming 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.
