MSI TRX40 Pro 10G Wifi DDR4 AMD Motherboard

The MSI TRX40 Pro 10G WiFi DDR4 is a full-ATX enthusiast desktop (HEDT) motherboard built around the AMD TRX40 chipset and the sTRX4 socket, designed specifically for 3rd Generation AMD Ryzen Threadripper desktop processors. It targets content creators, workstation builders, and high-performance gaming rigs that demand maximum I/O throughput, abundant PCIe lanes, and large memory capacity. Memory capacity on this platform is exceptional. Eight DDR4 DIMM slots support quad-channel operation and up to 256 GB of total RAM. Out-of-box JEDEC profiles run at 2133, 2400, 2666, and 3200 MHz, while XMP overclocking can push single-rank sticks to 4666 MHz in a one-DIMM-per-channel configuration. Both ECC and non-ECC unbuffered memory types are accepted, giving workstation users flexibility when data integrity is a priority. Expansion is equally generous. Four PCIe 4.0 x16 slots operate in x16/x8/x16/x8 mode, enabling three-way NVIDIA SLI or three-way AMD CrossFire configurations. A single PCIe 3.0 x1 slot rounds out the lineup. Storage options include eight SATA 6 Gb/s ports and four M.2 Key-M slots that run at PCIe 4.0 x4, with M2_1 additionally supporting 22110-length drives. RAID 0, 1, and 10 arrays are supported across the SATA ports. Connectivity is a standout feature. The board provides a USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C port on the rear panel delivering 20 Gb/s, two USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A ports at 10 Gb/s, two USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A ports, and additional headers for four USB 3.2 Gen1 and four USB 2.0 ports internally. Networking is handled by dual Intel I211AT Gigabit LAN controllers on the rear panel, and the product name references an additional 10G Super LAN capability. Audio is powered by dual Realtek codecs: an ALC1220 delivering 7.1-channel High Definition Audio with optical S/PDIF output, paired with an ALC4050H supporting front and rear panel microphone input. RGB lighting headers include one 4-pin 5050 RGB connector, two 3-pin ARGB connectors, and one 3-pin Corsair LED connector. The board measures 12 in. x 9.6 in. (30.4 cm x 24.4 cm) in standard ATX form factor with nine mounting holes. Power delivery uses a 24-pin ATX main connector and dual 8-pin ATX 12V CPU power connectors. Fan control headers include one CPU fan, one water-pump fan, and four system fan connectors. A Flash BIOS button and Clear CMOS button are accessible on the rear I/O panel. The board carries a 3-year manufacturer warranty and is validated for Windows 10 64-bit.
