The AMD Threadripper 7000 series processors, which are part of the AMD Ryzen family, offer CPU and DRAM overclocking options. ASUS has responded by incorporating a dual PSU design in the Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE SE and Pro WS TRX50-SAGE WIFI motherboards. With strong power delivery and advanced cooling, these motherboards provide excellent stability during overclocking. They feature hardware switches and optimized BIOS settings for overclocking enthusiasts, along with support for ECC R-DIMM memory.
Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7000 WX-Series
AMD’s Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7000 WX-Series processors and Ryzen 7000 series processors, set to be available later this year, offer impressive performance for demanding tasks. The flagship Ryzen Threadripper PRO CPU stands out with a whopping 96 cores and 192 threads, setting a new standard for multithreaded workloads.
Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE SE & Pro WS TRX50-SAGE WIFI
The Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE SE motherboard is well-prepared to harness the power of these processors, featuring a VRM with 16+3+3+3 power stages. It ensures that these top-end processors receive the power and efficiency they require. The motherboard includes ProCool II connectors for secure power input, and it supports dual PSUs for users who need maximum performance. Additionally, it offers eight DDR5 memory slots with ECC R-DIMM memory support for a high-bandwidth memory pool.
Improved Power Delivery
For high-end desktop (HEDT) builders, the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000 series processors offer up to 64 cores and 128 threads, along with up to 88 usable PCIe lanes. The PRO WS TRX50-SAGE WIFI motherboard is well-suited for these potent chips, featuring overclocking-ready VRM with 18+3+4+4 power stages. It also supports ECC R-DIMM memory for accuracy.
Both motherboards sport massive VRM heatsinks to dissipate heat effectively. They come with dual fans to ensure proper cooling, creating a stable operating environment for your CPU.
Abundun IOs Option
The M.2 slots on these motherboards have robust heatsinks and thermal pads for SSDs. The Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE SE goes further with an active M.2/PCH fan for superior thermal efficiency. It also features an extended heatsink near the PCIe x16 slots to maintain the 10 Gbps Ethernet controller’s temperature.
These motherboards offer extensive connectivity options for high-bandwidth and versatile connections. The Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE SE features dual 10 Gbps LAN ports for fast transfers. The Pro WS TRX50-SAGE WIFI offers a 10 Gbps Ethernet port for uncompressed 4K video streaming, alongside a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port. Both motherboards come with Wi-Fi support for high-bandwidth networking.
Ample Storage You can count on these motherboards for high-speed USB connectivity for external storage drives, along with various options for internal drives. The Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE SE boasts four onboard PCIe 5.0 M.2 slots, while the Pro WS TRX50-SAGE WIFI features two PCIe 5.0 M.2 slots, one PCIe 4.0 M.2 slot, and plenty of SATA ports.
Server-Grade Remote Management
Both motherboards include server-grade remote management tools, with the Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE SE incorporating a dedicated Gigabit Ethernet controller. This allows administrators to communicate with the BMC for a wide range of control functions.
Ready for Ryzen Threadripper CPUs The Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE SE and Pro WS TRX50-SAGE WIFI are ready for the next-gen AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000 series CPUs. These motherboards offer extensive compatibility, reliability, and support for the latest technologies, making them a solid foundation for high-performance workstations.
