Gigabyte TRX40 Aorus Master review - Product Showcase

Product Showcase

The AORUS TRX40 MASTER follows a big(ger) yet modest E-ATX form factor (12 in. x 10.9 in. (30.4 cm x 27.7 cm)). The motherboard is located in an enthusiast range of the Ryzen Threadripper Gen3 desktop processor product stack. This the motherboard includes all of the standardized TRX40 enhancements like the capability of three M2 SSD slots (properly shielded) and obviously can support SLI and Crossfire. Your PCIe lane configuration will be high at 88 PCIe Lanes, out of which 72 are usable to the end-user and spread out over the motherboard connectors. The motherboard features four PCIe x16 Gen 4.0 expansion slots (two running x16 the other two x8) and a single PCIe x1 slot. A Realtek ALC4050H combined with ALC1220 audio codec is the source for anything audio. The board gets an Aquantia 5GbE LAN jack (5 Gbit/2.5 Gbit/1 Gbit/100 Mbit), an Intel Gigabit jack and then a Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax module supporting 2.4/5 GHz Dual-Band as well as Bluetooth 4.1. You will hopefully agree with me that once powered up the aesthetics change quite a bit. The board has eight DIMM slots. Depending on your processor you can opt for dual- and quad-channel memory. This board claim supports up-to Support for DDR4 4666 memory (overclocked), you may install up to 256 GB of it.  Please, keep in mind that with the 3990X memory frequency is becoming far more complicated. We'll talk about that later though.
