ASUS Motherboard P12R-E - ATX, LGA1200, Intel C256, Support 10/11th Gen CPU

ASUS Motherboard P12R-E is a robust ATX server motherboard with LGA1200 support, designed around the Intel C256 chipset for reliable performance with 10th and 11th Gen Intel processors.

Built for server and workstation environments, the P12R-E supports Intel® Pentium® and Intel Xeon E series CPUs in the LGA 1200 (Socket H5), giving you a wide choice of processors for efficiency or higher core counts depending on your workload.

Memory capacity is generous, with four DIMM slots compatible with DDR4-SDRAM and speeds up to 3200 MHz. The board accepts modules of 8GB, 16GB, or 32GB for a maximum internal memory of 128 GB, making it suitable for virtualization, database caching, and multitasking servers.

Storage flexibility is excellent: the P12R-E supports up to 10 drives (including two M.2 and eight SATA III ports), with RAID support for redundancy and performance. Both HDDs and SSDs are supported, and the presence of M.2 slots enables fast NVMe storage options for operating systems or critical applications.

Connectivity and expansion are oriented toward server needs, offering dual Gigabit Ethernet (RJ-45), multiple USB ports including USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, legacy PS/2, VGA and HDMI outputs, and an onboard ASPEED AST2600 graphics controller with 64 MB memory for basic display and remote management. Expansion includes PCIe slots (one x16 Gen4, one x8 Gen4, two x8 Gen3) to add NICs, RAID controllers, or accelerators.

Practical system integration features include TPM connector, chassis intrusion header, COM port, ATX 24-pin power connector, fan power headers and PC health monitoring for CPU and fans. The board is designed for reliable operation across a wide temperature and humidity range and comes in a compact ATX form factor (305 x 244 x 68 mm, 800 g).

Use cases for the ASUS P12R-E include small to medium enterprise servers, edge computing nodes, storage servers, virtualization hosts, and network appliances where stable Intel platform performance and extensive storage options are required.
