Product Overview

ASUS ROG Strix TRX40-E Gaming is an ATX motherboard based on AMD's TRX40 chipset and designed for 3rd-gen Ryzen Threadripper processors. Months after its release, ASUS also introduced the TRX40-XE, which upgrades the VRM of TRX40-E with 16 power stages with 70A capacitors.

The ROG Strix TRX40-E Gaming is essentially the ATX version of the Zenith II Extreme, sharing with it much of the same features. Some of the compromises in the smaller motherboard include:

A downgrade of the second LAN from 10Gbps to 2.5Gbps
The omission of the USB 3.2 Gen2X2 port
The loss of the ESS Sabre DAC
The loss of DIMM.2 module for SSD

As the Threadripper offers considerably more PCIe 4 lanes as well as quad-channel DDR4 memory, the ROG Strix TRX40-E allows the user to use up to 256GB of memory, ECC or otherwise, and 2-way multi-GPU setup (SLI or CrossFire).

This ROG Strix motherboard also comes with a color OLED display with extensive Aura Sync RGB lighting. There are even two additional RGB headers and two addressable headers for more customizability in custom builds.
