With the release of AMD's Threadripper Pro series processors for the HEDT workstation market, major motherboard manufacturers have also announced their own high-end motherboards. This article will introduce you to Pro WS WRX80E-SAGE SE WIFI from ASUS. The motherboard adopts the E-ATX form factor, provides a strong power supply, heat dissipation, and rich expansion interfaces, which can give full play to the eight-channel memory and 128 PCIe 4.0 links of the new generation of thread tearer CPU.
The motherboard uses an LGA4094 slot, supplemented by 16-phase VRM power supply and a huge heat sink, which can drive a 280W 64-core Threadripper Pro 3995WX processor.
The three 8-pin CPU auxiliary power supply ports located in the upper right corner are very conspicuous
The 4+4 memory interfaces are distributed on both sides of the CPU socket, supporting 512GB / 1TB DDR4-3200 specifications. It adopts an air duct design that is aligned horizontally with seven full-length PCIe 4.0 x16 slots, and comes with a back I/O baffle.
There are also two side 6-pin PCI-E auxiliary power supply ports in the middle of the bottom
In addition to the heat sink covered on the power supply module, the motherboard also covers the chipset and three PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slots with thick heat sinks. Other storage options include two U.2, eight SATA, and the included Hyper M.2 expansion card (supports another four M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 SSDs).
Seven PCIe 4.0 x16 slots can fully meet the application needs of rendering and other heavy computing workloads. In addition, the motherboard provides dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet cards (Intel X550-AT2) and Wi-Fi 6 wireless network (or Intel AX201 / AX210 adapter).
The motherboard will be available in North America in March 2021
In addition to nine 10Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2 and one 20Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C port, the motherboard also provides two USB 3.2 Gen 2, USB 3.2 Gen 1, and USB 2.0 pins.
Unfortunately, Asus has not announced the price of the motherboard.
In addition, a BIOS flash/CMOS reset button is designed on the motherboard, which is suspected of Realtek LC1220 audio codec, COM connector, multiple fan pins, and ASUS customized TPU chip.
