Gigabyte Aorus Threadripper 3000 motherboard reveals active cooling and massive VRM
Gigabyte has jumped embargo by silently leaking a darkened photo of their new Threadripper board, which you can easily brighten up with Photoshop of course.
AMD's Castle Peak and Sharkstooth chipsets for the new Threadripeprs will get tagged onto that new TRX40, TRX80 and WRX80 motherboards. TRX40 would be an affordable Threadripper motherboard whereas TRX80 and WRX80 chipsets would be intended for the really beefy stuff. TRX40 would support up to 32 cores, up to 64 PCIe lanes from the CPU and up to quad-channel memory. Videocardz, however, seems to provide little evidence for calling TRX40, so it could also be a different chip.
The image shows a fan on the chipset, as well as a very beefy two segments based VRM. The tdp of a new Threadripper with 32 cores will be around 280 watts , which is about 30 watts higher than the current Threadripper 2990WX. Now that does not say much about the actual thermal capacity, but perhaps it is an indication. The board seems to be an eATX design board that shows quite a bit of RGB.
That onliner on there though: "Team up. fight on.".
