Unleash the full power of your AMD Ryzen Threadripper Pro system with the ASUS Pro WS WRX80E-Sage SE WIFI sWRX8 E-ATX Motherboard. Featuring the powerful AMD WRX80 chipset, supporting Threadripper Pro processors with the sWRX8 socket, this E-ATX workstation motherboard is designed to provide a reliable foundation for professional creative workloads such as video editing and 3D rendering.
The Pro WS WRX80E-Sage SE takes full advantage of the large PCIe 4.0 data bandwidth to deliver high performance with compatible devices, including the eight memory slots, supporting up to 2048GB of DDR4-3200 octa-channel ECC buffered memory for automatic data error correction. It also includes slots for up to eight SATA III drives and three M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 SSDs, which can be put into RAID 0, 1, or 10 configuration. Two U.2 slots are also available, each supporting up to four SATA devices using separately purchased transfer cables. Additionally, its seven PCIe 4.0 x16 expansion slots can accommodate high-performance devices, including NVIDIA SLI graphics cards in 2-way, 3-way, and 4-way configurations, to maximize your system's graphical capabilities and accelerate rendering times. The dual 10G Ethernet ports provide high-speed data transfers with compatible networks and devices. Windows 10 64-bit is required to take advantage of all the motherboard's features.
