how to install Asus Pro WS W680-ACE

  • Prepare your workspace: Work on a clean, static-safe surface. Ground yourself with an anti-static wrist strap and keep components in anti-static bags until ready for installation.
  • Install the CPU: Open the LGA 1700 socket retention mechanism, align the CPU correctly, place it gently into the socket, and secure the lever. Apply an appropriate amount of thermal paste if your cooling solution requires it, and attach the CPU cooler securely.
  • Install memory modules: Insert RAM into the recommended DIMM slots as outlined in the motherboard manual. Ensure the modules are fully seated and the locking latches click into place for proper contact.
  • Mount the motherboard in the chassis: Align the I/O shield with the case cutouts, position the motherboard so screw holes align with the standoffs, and secure it with screws. Do not overtighten to avoid bending the board.
  • Connect power and essential cables: Attach the 24-pin main power connector and the 8-pin (or 4+4) CPU power connector to the motherboard. Connect PCIe power to any installed GPUs or expansion cards as required by your configuration.
  • Install storage and expansion cards: Insert M.2 NVMe drives into the supported slots and secure them. Install any PCIe expansion cards (graphics cards, accelerators) into the appropriate slots, tightening the screws to secure them.
  • Connect drives and peripherals: Connect SATA data and power cables to drives if used. Attach USB front-panel connectors, audio headers, fans, and other case peripherals as specified in the motherboard manual.
  • Power on and configure BIOS: Power on the system and enter the BIOS/UEFI. Enable XMP/DOCP profiles for memory as needed, set boot priority, configure storage RAID if desired, and check for BIOS updates recommended by ASUS to ensure optimal compatibility with your OS and software.
  • Install the operating system: With the hardware installed, proceed to install your preferred workstation OS. Install essential drivers from the ASUS support site and the manufacturers of your GPU(s) and storage devices to ensure optimal performance and stability.

High quality
Color: 5pack, Size: Large
Our Aussie lives these toys! She hasn’t torn any up yet. She did manage to tear off an ear from the cheetah but the rest of the toy is intact after a lot of tugging and biting. Comes with 2 squeakers for more fun. She loves playing with these and will toss them up in the air and chase it by herself.

Mixed Bag of Dog Squeaky Toys for Small Dogs
Color: 12pack, Size: Small
I recently purchased the SHARLOVY Dog Squeaky Toys for Small Dogs, a pack of stuffed animal puppy toys, and while they offer some positive aspects, there are a few drawbacks that prevent me from giving them a higher rating. One positive aspect of this toy pack is the variety it offers. With 12 different plush dog toys included, there is a range of options to keep my small dog entertained and engaged. The cute designs and soft textures are appealing, and they provide a good selection for different play sessions. The squeaky feature of these toys can be entertaining for dogs, and it adds an element of interactive play. The squeaker is relatively durable and has held up reasonably well during playtime, adding an extra level of excitement for my dog. However, the durability of these toys is a concern. While they are suitable for small dogs and light chewers, they may not withstand the rigorous chewing of more aggressive chewers or larger breeds. The seams on some toys have come apart relatively quickly, resulting in stuffing coming out or potential choking hazards. It is important to supervise playtime and monitor the condition of the toys closely. Another drawback is the size of the toys. While they are marketed for small dogs, some of the toys in the pack are quite small and may pose a choking risk for dogs that are prone to swallowing or have a tendency to tear apart toys. It is essential to choose the appropriate toy size based on your dog's breed and chewing habits. In terms of value for money, the price point for this toy pack is reasonable considering the number of toys included. However, the longevity of the toys may impact the overall value, as they may need to be replaced more frequently for dogs that are rough with their toys. In conclusion, the SHARLOVY Dog Squeaky Toys for Small Dogs offer a variety of cute and soft toys that can entertain small dogs during playtime. The squeaky feature adds to the fun, but the durability of the toys and potential choking hazards are concerns. It is important to choose appropriate toy sizes and supervise playtime to ensure the safety of your furry friend. If you have a small dog and are looking for a variety of soft and squeaky toys, this pack may be worth considering. However, if your dog is an aggressive chewer or larger in size, it may be more prudent to explore more durable and size-appropriate options to ensure the toys can withstand your dog's play habits.
