Motherboard ASUS Pro WS TRX50-SAGE WIFI sTR5 DDR5

ASUS Pro WS TRX50-SAGE WIFI is a high-end motherboard for sTR5, aimed at serious workstation configurations with Ryzen Threadripper and Threadripper PRO from the 7000 and 9000 series. The combination of AMD TRX50 chipset, support for DDR5 up to 256 GB, and a powerful PCIe 5.0 subsystem make it ready for heavy renders, 3D, scientific simulations, and serious multitasking. The CEB form factor is typical for professional platforms and allows for more solid power supply and slot distribution. The built-in Wi-Fi 7 and dual LAN (10Gb + 2.5Gb) complete the picture of a motherboard that can easily stand at the center of a studio or production environment.

What you get
The foundation is the sTR5 socket supporting Ryzen Threadripper and Threadripper PRO from the 7000/9000 series, which means many cores, many PCIe lanes, and serious memory bandwidth. The memory is DDR5 in 4 slots with dual-channel architecture and a maximum capacity of 256 GB, reaching up to 8000 MHz (OC) if you are chasing maximum throughput for rendering and simulations. The two M.2 PCIe 5.0 x4 slots allow you to install super-fast NVMe drives for OS, scratch, and projects, while 4 x SATA 6Gb/s are fine for bulk storage and archives, including in RAID 0/1/10 configurations. With PCIe 5.0 and 4.0 x16 slots, you can combine several GPUs, specialized cards (capture, storage, network) without bottlenecking the platform. The built-in audio with 120 dB SNR playback and 32-bit/192 kHz support is clean enough for most production and monitoring tasks without an external card.

• sTR5 socket and AMD TRX50 chipset provide a platform for Ryzen Threadripper and Threadripper PRO 7000/9000, suitable for extreme multi-core workstations.
• Support for DDR5 memory with up to 256 GB in 4 slots and frequencies up to 8000 MHz (OC) gives huge capacity and bandwidth for heavy professional workloads.
• Dual-channel memory architecture provides better real throughput compared to single-channel solutions, which is felt during rendering, compiling, and virtual machines.
• Two M.2 slots (2242/2260/2280), each with PCIe 5.0 x4, allow next-generation NVMe drives for fast boot, projects, and scratch drives.
• Expansion slots include 2 x PCIe 5.0 x16, 1 x PCIe 5.0 x16 (x8), 1 x PCIe 4.0 x16, and 1 x PCIe 4.0 x16 (x4), which is ideal for multi-GPU, professional I/O, and additional network/storage cards.
• Network connectivity with 1 x 10Gb Ethernet (Marvell AQtion) and 1 x 2.5Gb Ethernet (Intel I226-LM), plus Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) and Bluetooth 5.4, gives you flexibility for wired and wireless environments with high traffic.
• Built-in audio with 120 dB SNR stereo playback, 113 dB SNR recording, and up to 32-bit/192 kHz playback is a serious base for clean sound in daily work and multimedia.
• 4 x SATA 6Gb/s with support for RAID 0/1/10 allow you to combine speed or redundancy for mass storage and archives.

Who it is suitable for
This motherboard is for people building a serious Threadripper workstation – 3D/CGI, video editing, VFX, CAD, simulation, heavy software development, many virtual machines. If you are looking for a budget gaming build or a small case, this is not your class – the idea here is maximum cores, PCIe lanes, and I/O for work, not just to
