Gigabyte Aorus Threadripper 3000 motherboard reveals active cooling and massive VRM

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.".

Always nice to see new tech making its way to the surface.

Already bit the proverbial bullet on my newest build and couldn't be happier. 3900X is a beast....

Man, I haven't seen active cooling on the soutbridge / northbridge for a while. They were pretty commonplace back in the X48 and 750i days (and earlier), but since then, I haven't seen many. Maybe on an Asus TUF board or two.

On a related note, I miss having Nvidia be in the motherboard business. I was a fan of the Nforce chipsets (particularly the 680i). When Intel forced them out, it was a sad day. Fewer real choices on the market. :(

Aekold, I'm feeling you man. I actually still have a bricked DFI LANParty nF680I stored in its original box. I have no idea why I've kept it for so long, who knows, maybe some day it will have a value for collectors haha. Anyway, triple RIP - for the nforce chipsets, for the defunct DFI and for the actual dead board (iirc it was due to a bios flash gone wrong...) :p

OT - I just bought ax570 Aorus Master - it's one amazing board, especially in regards to VRM. So I'd be surprised if Gigabyte won't do a repeat for the new TR motherboards, they really stepped up their game again. They were awesome in the past, then for some years not so much, the're back now!

Still remembered buying two x58 boards 9ne with the NF200 South ridge and one without. Of course the 200 stayed with me...

Pricing of the new Threadripper boards is going to be very interesting, especially compared to high-end x570.

I'm also curious to see is Gigabyte will make anything comparable to the upcoming X299X Designare 10G for Threadripper 3K.
