Product Overview
Take your gaming to the next level with the ASUS ROG Strix TRX40-XE Gaming TRX4 ATX Motherboard. Powered by the AMD TRX40 chipset, this ATX motherboard supports third-generation AMD Ryzen Threadripper processors with the TRX4 socket for high-end video games and content creation. The chipset takes full advantage of the large PCIe 4.0 data bandwidth to handle demanding tasks such as 4K live streaming, video editing, and gaming at high settings. Up to 256GB of quad-channel ECC DDR4 RAM, reaching 4666 MHz when overclocked, can be installed across eight memory slots to improve the system's multitasking capabilities and speed. The motherboard also features advanced cooling and supports up to three M.2 SSDs and eight SATA III storage drives, which can be put into RAID 0, 1, or 10 configuration. Its three PCIe 4.0 x16 slots can accommodate 2-Way NVIDIA SLI or AMD CrossFireX configurations to maximize your system's frame rates at high resolutions while an additional PCIe 4.0 x4 slot is available for compatible devices.
Seven USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports and one Type-C port is available to transfer data from compatible devices at up to 10 Gb/s. Connect to compatible high-speed networks through the Gigabit Ethernet and 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports, or use the built-in 802.11ax Wi-Fi to wirelessly transfer data at up to 1.73 Gb/s. The ROG Strix TRX40-XE delivers deep and immersive 8-channel audio through the SupremeFX S1220 codec, and you can further customize your computing experience by connecting light strips to the addressable Gen 2 Aura Sync RGB lighting headers for dazzling effects. Windows 10 64-bit is required to take advantage of all the motherboard's features.
