WorkStation Mobo Built For AMD Threadrippers:
This ASUS Pro WS WRX80E-Sage SE WIFI Workstation Motherboard is a pure workstation motherboard specially built for AMD threadripper processors and if it gets paid with threadripper processors then it will be a beast. We will get an Amd socket SP3 which AMD used in their high-end and all the latest processors. This socket can handle up to 64 Core and 128 Threads processors mean it can support any latest AMD threadripper processor easily.
Heat Dissipation & Cooling:
We know that the main thing in the motherboards is the heating issues and cooling system, so for the betterment of cooling inside this motherboard and processor, we will have to use a liquid cooling system because this motherboard comes with front to back airflow design which makes it difficult for CPU fans or the motherboard fans to make the airflow outside another issue is that it comes with 280W TDP by which the fans will use more power. So we will use a liquid cooling system for this motherboard which can work so good and it won’t let any component get heated up or let the heat stay inside the casing or the motherboard.
Expansion Slots:
If we talk about the expansion slots then it comes with PCIe 4th Generation and there will be a total of 7 PCIe Gen4 x16 slots which will carry multiple numbers of GPUs, NICs, storage devices.
