ASRock announces two high-end X399 motherboards for Ryzen Threadripper

Next in line today is ASRock who outs two X399 motherboards, the Fatal1ty X399 Professional Gaming and X399 Taichi. The Socket TR4 and X399 chipset based motherboards will become abailable early August.

The Fatal1ty X399 Professional Gaming is a high-end model mobo with an 11 -hase circuit based. It comes with an AQUANTIA 10 Gigabit LAN, dual gigabit LAN with Intel chip and IEEE 802.11ac wireless LAN (crazy!). Expansion slots for graphics cards include PCI - Express 3.0 (x16) x 4. Main specifications include DDR4 ×8 (maximum 128 GB / 3600 + MHz) memory slot, SATA 3.0 (6 Gbps) × 8, Ultra M.2 (32 Gbps) × 3, U.2 (32 Gbps) × 1. The Audio circuit is based on a 7.1 channel HD Audio from Realtek "ALC 1220" improved with a  "Creative Sound Blaster Cinema 3" suite.

The ATX form factor board size is 305 × 244 mm.

• Socket: Socket TR 4
• Chipset: AMD X399
• Form factor: ATX
• Memory slot: DDR 4 × 8 (maximum 128 GB / 3600 + MHz)
• Expansion slots: PCI-Express 3.0 (x16) x 4, PCI-Express 2.0 (x1) x 1, vertical M.2 x 1 (for WiFi / Bluetooth card)
• Storage: SATA 3.0 (6 Gbps) × 8, M.2 (32 Gbps) × 3, U.2 (32 Gbps) × 1
• LAN: 10 Gigabit LAN × 1 (AQUANTIA AQC 107), Gigabit LAN × 2 (Intel I 211AT), IEEE 802.11ac wireless LAN
• Sound: 7.1 ch HD audio (Realtek ALC 1220)
• Interface: USB 3.1 Gen.2 × 2 (Type-A / Type-C), USB 3.0 x 8, 10 Gigabit LAN x 1, Gigabit LAN x 2, Audio Terminal x 5, Optical Audio Terminal x 1, PS / 2 × 1
• External dimensions: 305 × 244 mm

The X399 Taichi then, again an 11-phase circuit based is present as well. Specs are nearly the same as the Fata1ty, but this one is lacking the 10 Gbps Ethernet conneector. The memory supported is DDR4 × 8 (maximum 128 GB / 3, 600 + MHz), storage is SATA 3.0 (6 Gbps) × 8, Ultra M.2 (32 Gbps) × 3, U.2 (32 Gbps) × 1. Expansion slots are PCI - Express 3.0 (x16) x 4, PCI - Express 2.0 (x 1) x 1, vertical M.2 x 1, and multi - graphics corresponds to 4 - way NVIDIA SLI / AMD CrossFire X.

Network connectivity wise you will see Intel dual gigabit LAN and IEEE 802.11ac wireless LAN ##.
