The dual 10G Ethernet ports provide high-speed data transfers with compatible networks and devices. This motherboard is compatible with Windows 10 and 11 operating systems.

AMD WRX80 Chipset

Supporting AMD Ryzen Threadripper Pro processors, the WRX80 chipset is ideal for visual effects artists, data scientists, and other professionals who require high-end computing power. The chipset takes advantage of PCIe 4.0 bandwidth for multi-GPU configurations, NVMe storage arrays, and more. Additionally, the platform supports octa-channel DDR4 RAM.

Storage and Memory

• All three PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slots support up to type 22110 NVMe SSDs.
• Eight SATA III ports are available for hard drives and 2.5" SSDs.
• The two U.2 slots each support up to four SATA drives
• Up to 2048GB of octa-channel DDR4-3200 ECC or non-ECC, buffered and non-buffered, U-DIMM, R-DIMM, and 3DS R-DIMM memory can be installed across eight slots.

Note:

The U.2_1 slot shares bandwidth with M.2_2 and U.2_2 slot shares bandwidth with M.2_3. Installing devices into either M.2 slot will disable the corresponding U.2 slot.

ASUS Hyper M.2 x16 Gen 4 Card

The included ASUS Hyper M.2 x16 Gen 4 card allows you to add up to four additional M.2 PCIe 4.0 SSDs to your system and create a bootable RAID array. The card is designed to provide up to 256 Gb/s of bandwidth for smooth data transfers.

Thermal Design

• 16 power stage design.
• Two supporting 6-pin power connectors provide additional power and stability to compatible devices such as high-performance graphics cards.
• The VRM heat sink includes a semi-passive fan for efficient heat dissipation.
• The actively cooled heat sink provides optimized cooling to the chipset while producing minimal noise.
• M.2 heat sinks help to avoid speed throttling during heavy, sustained data transfers.
